Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
From what I can see charging will be based on a mix of speed and usage.
Now this is all speculation on my part but maybe there will be bands for megadownloaders who want lots but not as bothered with speed, home server runners who want to run a server on home service so don't need service guarentees or bandwidth of business but want a balance between up and download speeds, mail users who don't do much at all so get a small cap on a lower speed but no limit on email (SMTP/POP).
Again please note that this is pure speculation by me, no promises or otherwise to be implied whatever. This is NOT official in any way.
Can't see a bank working. What ideally we want is to prevent contention so we don't want users banking up usage over a hot, sunny summer then all trying to use it up at the same time in the winter. Again this is not official, I have no idea what is planned in that level of detail.

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
Does that mean tomorrow, or over the next few weeks I will be able to upgrade from 2mb to 10mb online ? Or should I upgrade today and let it happen automatically ?

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
Thats the kind of news I've been looking forward to hearing. If it does happen tomorrow, this is where all the moaners/complainers come out of the woodwork.

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
They usually say it'll be automatic, but i've found that i've had to restart my modem for every upgrade so far.
Also, don't get your hopes up, those on 1mb and 2mb, the word was that you lot won't be upgraded until at least the new year. 3mb users are first.
