There has been plenty posted about the new speeds if you look around. Someone will post details of when it is available as soon as it is known.

Re: Speed Upgrade

Talking of upgrades, anyone know where I can check if I've been upgraded as yet as the link is no longer on the NTL site.

I can remember 300 baud rate then I got a new modem and I thoght I was flying at 1200 baud!

Looking back at the comms portion of my phone and Compuserve bill makes the broadband subscription cheap!
