Re: New Speeds - June 1st

southampton was on 4meg but back to 2meg, i rang ntl at my expence and asked why I can't upgrade, the guy went off and come back again and just said the have major hardware problems which are being investigated, and that everybody who were upgraded in southampton have now been down graded. The best thing is I've just had my bill from them and its got 4meg broadband service on it.. Good old NTL !
