Please stop spamming your thread, it's not required, annoying and breaks the T&C's.

Heres me praying that its only a temporary thing and NTL get back to the decent service i recieved as a 300k user.

If you game alot 2-3 hours a day you really hould be on the middle 2 MB tier as you'll go over the 3 GB cap easily.

neoapple · 29-10-2005, 15:03

this is lame why cant they give you good cap or no cap.
i did not want to be upgraded, i go away for 2 weeks and find i have been upgraded and i cant do anything about it

Scopeuk · 29-10-2005, 16:14

as far as i care this is jsut a way of screwwign more cash out of us by forcing us up a tier and a way of allowign them to cram ever more 10 quid a month new customers on and stil being ableto claim resonable contention

In the last half hour my connection has shot up in speed

Done a speed test but getting mixed results from 500 ish to 820 kbps

Has the upgrade happened for those still on 300k, jez I should have upgraded yonks ago big difference.

I have received no notification from NTL about a speed upgrade and have been working merrily along at about 250. Yesterday a few hours after having installed a wireless router my browsing came to an abrupt end. Could still get e-mail and ftp to a server in my workplace but could not browse. I switched off and rebooted my modem, switched on again and I now have around 820. Trouble is I have not been following this forum recently so was not aware of an opt out choice and wasn't even aware I had been upgraded. Now I cant opt out and have just installed a wireless setup for my daughters laptop which is pointless if I am now capped. So what happens if I go over the quota

Hi Terry,

ntl Ireland is now a different co,pany as ntl sold it during the start of this year.
So the UK team for upgrading did not contact you as part of the UK upgrade as you were no longer a UK customer.

Sorry Mate

Terry · 01-11-2005, 14:03

PWS from a political point of view I wish you were correct but NTL Ireland was based in the 26 counties of the Republic and is now sold off. However in the six counties of N.Ireland we are still part of the UK and therefore still part of the NTL company. Must be as we recently got the new channels which would not be available to ex customers in the Republic so I am afraid that doesnt explain why NTL did not inform me of the upgrade. In fact, having read through the posts I am not the only one and the other cases were in GB. So the question still stands, what happens if I go over quota when I havn't been officially informed of a quota or of an upgrade

PWS · 01-11-2005, 14:55

Hi Terry,

you can tell I havent gone futher west than Wales eh

you are correct so my answer is different

You should have recieved a letter telling you of this upgrade and I dont want to comment on the usage allowance.
i guess its how far you go passed the 3gig / month.
i dont know about that sorry

Sorry for the poor geography

Scopeuk · 01-11-2005, 15:14

think im gonan try 10 gig next month and see what they do if i get nothign then as faras im concerened that will be my cap

Terry · 01-11-2005, 15:18

No problem PWS. If truth be told my knowledge of GB geography is quite pathetic. But still I feel somewhat cheated in that I didn't get the opportunity to opt out and there is no way the lady of the house is going to agree to paying more for internet connection to step up a band. May just wait and see what happens when I go over the top. My kids would have it connected 8 hours a day and more at the weekends and even though they are not allowed, they still download music files when I am not around so I reckon I should have no problem exceeding the cap

McDave · 03-11-2005, 19:40

Not long ago there was news that NTL were going to upgrade all users with the slow 300K to 1MB.

NTL was soposed to be upgrading all users to 1MB automaticly so when if this going to happen?? And that was going to be cap free.

I don't like the 3GB cap so please don't try and describe how to upgrade to the faster speed.

Chris W · 03-11-2005, 19:42

I think you were wrong about the cap free 1meg-

I think what was/ is happening is an automatic upgrade from 300k to 1meg with 3gb cap, unless you completed a form to opt out of this.
