I was previously going to correct whoever posted '68k', which doesn't mean anything.

I assume he means 68KB/s, equivalent to 544kbps. Heh?! It's only a 512kbps service upstream!

The 10Mbps down/512kbps up service should max-out at 64KB/s.

OK, that sounds a lot better than 68kbps

Still, it seems below par with other service providers who seem to offer thier 8Mbps services with 768kpbs+ upstream.

Not really an issue if you're only downloading stuff but a pain if you've got a web server or some other server at home you want to be able to access at a decent speed from work.

Yeah, it is below par - but NTL do tend to be below par when it comes to upstream speeds. It's annoying, but I won't complain too much about 512kbps - unlike the (unworkable) 100kbps upstream on the 1Mbps downstream service.

Must admit I'm very impressed with the speed up-grade I have so far. Getting absolutely no buffering when watching video clips, large or small. This really does feel how the internet should be. And once the software up-grades happen for the cable modems (Home 120) and speed is increased possibly still further, hats off to NTL !

Sorry yeah i meant 68KB/s and yes it should max out at 64kb/s but thats what bitcomet is telling me.

An Ntl customer who is actually happy with the upgrade???

Better watch out before they shoot you

and mount your head in the office to prove happy customers really do exist out there.

I'm available for public functions/press conferences if NTL would like to pay me for it. LOL!

Slightly confused as to why your details are showing 2Mb in your profile. Have you just been up-graded from 2Mb to 3Mb instead?
