Anyone found out what's happening with the newsgroups yet?

Will NTL provide access to all groups like Telewest do?

it's automatic - sit back and wait for it to happen - you'll know when your area has been upgraded as your speeds will be up and down like I yo-yo I recon!

all day! you're an optomist - it wont all happen on June 1st unless there's a miracle.

This has not been announced by ntl at the moment- the only speed upgrade that has been announced at the moment is 2meg to 4meg.

neoapple · 31-05-2006, 09:29

hmm well thats a let down

I think it's safe to assume that 1meg users will get a speed upgrade, it's just a question of when and how much. I'd speculate it'd be to 2meg and within 3months and also it'd be screwed by contention.

Using the tier migration tool hopefully there will be no need to wait throughout June.

don't know if its already been posted but i found this on the service status page:

On the morning of Thursday the 1st of June between midnight and 6 AM,
Network upgrades will result in a loss of service in the Baguley, Stockton, Oxford, Andover, Runcorn, Cambridge and the surrounding areas.

perhaps these will be the first lucky areas to get upgraded speeds. fingers crossed!

I'm not so sure because if you look the same message has been given to other areas in this month and April.
