That's not the point. As consumers, if we can get 10 chocolates for the price of 1 chocolate, we're going to want the 10.

But all the same, I get the same message - I'm tempted to ring CS, but being only on 1Mbps, I'm not sure they'd want to help.

It's not an advert. That's why the ASA couldn't get involved.
No the only reason why they would not get involved was because it was advertised on NTL's own website and not where Joe Public can see it, IE I had to use my user details to get to the upgrade screen.

Because NTL are displaying 2 service structures on their upgrade page then that is an advertisement, if by clicking the upgrade button and you automatically got upgraded to the next level of service without seeing the details of the service provided than that would not be an advertisement.

Simply put anything you can read than describes a product or service is an advertisement irrespective if it is in the general domain or in an area that you need to log into.

Not sure what STB's (if any) can actually handle 10M.

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
Hi all

Just been upgraded from 3mb to 10mb (SACM).

Did the following:

Rang 0800 052 2000
Option 2

CS: How can i help sir?
Me: I would like to upgrade my connection please.
CS: 2 seconds sir, let me check your account.

**a few seconds later

CS: The upgrade won't take place until December.
Me: I was told that 3mb customers would be upgraded first and it seems that 2mb and 1mb users are getting upgraded.
CS: 2 seconds sir.

**a few seconds later

CS: Hello sir, that will be done for you now.
Me: Many thanks!


Couple of reboots later and it's done.

Just downloaded a trial 50mb file in 46 seconds.... WHHHOOOOOSHHH!!!!

Was downloading at 1.12mb/s

Surely the Samsungs wouldn't have been brought in if they couldn't handle it?

No. I get that and I'm on 1Mbps - it's just the SACMs being daft.
