Re: More ntl speed changes
And I'm going off-net in 12 days 
Even so, well done NTL. Looks like somebody in that company is serious about regaining the leading postion they once held in the broadband market. Hopefully these fairly extreme, almost-free speed increases will rattle the ADSL market a little.

Re: More ntl speed changes
I like the speed increase however having to pay £25 to get it seems unfair, also the cap levels are really low.

Re: More ntl speed changes
Bit miffed we being loyal customers have to pay £25 but for those speed increases you can't complain. And 30GB (for 2MB) usuage is generous that roughly works out at 1GB a day - the same as current.

What I would like to know is what the £25 admin fee covers?
A person changing a digit on a computer? maybe taking 30 seconds?
So that works out as £3000 an hour! wow!
As for the cap levels, they are EXTREMELY low.
Not to get in a cap debate but if NTL are keeping the caps as guidlines then ok but if they enforce them then I really dont think I want the extra speed.

Re: [Now Official] More ntl speed changes
It doesn't mention is what the charges would be if customers went over the 40GB level or if the upload levels will be changing.
Still good news though.

but 1GB per day on a 2MB connection is a lot different to 1GB per day on 1.5MB.
Fair point dezzo the upload speed better be going up as well.

not sure why you are unhapy abt having to pay £25  they could of simply increased the price and made the money that way. Simple really if you don't want to pay don't change!!

Re: [Now Official] More ntl speed changes
Can't see how they would stop you disconnecting the service and reconnecting (probably with a few free months included) as long as the service has been in for more than 12 months.
I can see this upgrade fee being waived pretty much all the time by the disconnections team though.

simple - if you're on the £38 service downgrade to the £18 product for a month (or 2) then upgrade back - the saving you have made will pay your £25!

Re: [Now Official] More ntl speed changes
can we have an official link /indicator to the 'monthly usage' limits aka CAP, I've read and searched the pdf and there is no mention of any limits.

They are not in there - I was going of what DarthYoda was saying (assuming he knows working for ntl).

don't think I could cope with a slow service for a month. I need my speed.
