10 MB for All in December

[dtweek]

lakeybloke if you phone NTL and report the fact you're not getting the 2meg you are paying for and get them to recommend a cable modem you'll get it for Free. If you call CS and say you simply want one they'll then charge you £50 for it.

I called today and reported it as a fault, Modem is being installed next week and they've also upgraded me to 10 meg for 3 months for no extra charge. I will need to call them up and have it put back to the lowest service after 3 months, but if this thread is true then everyone will be getting 10meg in 3 months anyway.
I'm quite pleased with this obviously as it gives me 10meg now and costs me nothing.

I'm a happy punter today.

Anyway can anyone confirm that we'll all be getting 10 meg in the next 3 months?

Oh i could be evil and say "i dont".

Wonder how far that would get as a rumour.

To be honest i have no idea at all if this is true or false

I have heard absolutely nothing at all about any upgrades downgrades or side grades

Please don't go screaming to NTL now saying such and such said it not happening. I repeat i don't know

And anyway i want 20 meg not 10meg

If we get it, we get it, if we don't, we don't. Simple. Just when I think if it does happen--that's when.

Hi, my first post. After finding this site and reading some of the posts I thought i would give ntl a call to see if i could get a better deal, and i did. I currently have tv(full package) phone and 4MB BB with ntl costing £73.50 per month, after phoning this morning and saying i wanted to go to sky where i could get all the same but 8mb bb for £69.50 inc bt line rental, they have slashed my bill by £17.50 per month for 6 months and upgraded me to 10mb bb for free for 3 months. Which i thought was dam good!
The person i spoke to in customer relations said in january they are going to have new higher speeds on there BB and the lowest will be 4MB, with the current 4MB going to 10mb, and 10MB which im now on for 3 months will become 20MB, I asked if there would be one higher than 20mb to which he said yes but not in january, 2 or 3 months later there will be a 50MB service.
I just got to wait 3 weeks now! for the first free slot to have my free modem fitted as i only got the samsung box at the mo, must be alot of people doing this if its a 3 week wait!
oh one more thing what upload will i be getting with 10MB BB?

I can't wait to see if this actually happens. What a nice Christmas present

Hoping I'll go from 10mb to 20mb with no hassles, as 10mb is rock solid here in East Hunsbury, Northampton.

speed is fine in the daytime!


when it comes to the evening, the speed nosedives! just called TECH SUPPORT, and they said [basically] oversubscribed. Will be fixed in a few days time... I mean come on! It was a general area fault last thursday, and now its an on going area fault! Unusable internet at night time!

[Logan]

What's the time range where it nosedives? Where I am in Northampton, it still seems to run at near enough max speed whatever the time.

[ee61re]

My 4Mb is fine during the week daytimes, but evenings and weekends it nosedives to 1.5Mb or thereabouts. Sometimes worse.

Its only started doing it in the last few weeks.

It can only really be oversubscription, can't it?

what about those of us still on the usr cmx modems which we own? think they would dish out a 250 for free seeing as i dont have any equipment from them?

it will EXPLODE!!!!!! LOL

they will have to replace the PACE with a new digi box or a SACM, as the pace box can only handle 1mb and no more

[ecksmen]

Sorry guys n gals but what's the upload on the 50Mb package, surely it still can't only be 0.5Mbps? I wouldn't be happy with anything less than 5Mbps upload... god that would rule!
