So has the 300k service been dropped then (apart from for existing 300k users)?

Yes. That's been known for ages.

Customers with the existing services or 2Mb & 3Mb (1GB per day)
Ntl reserves the right to contact customers who regularly exceed their daily usage allowance, where such excessive use impacts the quality of service for other ntl broadband customers.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! !!!!

Oh I thought they were running that alongside the 1gb. I guess I should pay more attention...

What was that mention of 300k for £15.99 on Simon Duffy's presentation then?

Things change.....

Like the £25 upgrade fee and the hard caps on 2&3mb...

Come on keep up

I refuse to comment on the grounds that it may incriminate me.

But then.

Simon's presentation seemed to suggest this was something different to the speed increases. It was still being mentioned in Jacques Kerrest's presentation in January.

Is there/will there be an upload cap? If so, how much?

In my opinion they wouldn't need to cap upload with speeds this low.

A question on the technicallities.

When a customers get the necessary hardware upgrade from STB will the new speeds immediately come through or will it need to activated from customer services?

Ok lets think for a moment, most of the UK populations see's this as the choice.

BT NTL AOL WANNADOO

BT play dirty games like I seen with my friend, his adsl install got put back a month then after he found out from nildram 3 hours later BT cold called him saying they could do it the next day if he switches to BT isp.

As a consumer the best isp's are generally unknown, which is why the poor ones have such high amount of customers. BT's cap has only been on for around a month or so they didnt activate it until january so I wouldnt expect much fallback from it until after 6 months then we will see if they carry on gaining customers.

Leaving NTL isnt simple I say time and time again, it involves changing phone provider as well and some people are limited to NTL only, NTL DO have a local monopoly, they are not tied by the same guidelines that BT have by ofcom and the government and they dont have to wholesale their service.

I will get the name of the norway isp the next time I speak to my friend, although they lost 40%, it doesnt mean I said NTL will lose 40% it was meant to show what can happen when drastic changes are made.

Sorry I dont sit here all day posting every 15 mins, I dont know if people are been paid by ntl to or not but I have better things to do then spend the day arguing my point, I know I am not wanted by my isp as I dont fit their 50% operating profit requirement.

isp name is telenor year 2002/2003, gives you something to google on now if you really feel its important.

Pure supposition, have you asked them all.

One example, hardly evidence of how they treat most customers.

Who says, the general public are not as thick and ill informed as some make out. Why not expect fall out until after six months? The ones on here who say the minute caps are introduced they will leave NTL immediately if not before.

It is quite simple, ask Neil.

NTL do not have any local monopoly, FACT.

Something so significant would be easily found on Google but nobody can find any mention of it.

I'm glad you don't have to sit here posting all day, it means you can get about a bit, some of us can't although we dearly wish we could.

I don't work for NTL, don't own shares in NTL and think their DTV sucks. Some people can see the facts without having to be paid.

Where does the 50% operating profit come from?

They lost 6, SIX percent of ADSL market share between 2002/2003, not 40. nice BS story though, shame you couldnt google it to check before proclaiming it.
