errr... guuuyyyyysss..... back to the subject of whinging about NTL and their slow rollout? Non of us are gonna die of thirst... but we may die of lack of 4Meg Broadband!!!!

Or get back on topic

lol - anyway. Looks like there are a lot of bored people waiting for this upgrade. Not quite sure how your boredom will be cured but I hear that getting this upgrade before other people makes you cooler than them and harder and will get you more friends and women (or men) and.......

Oh forget it!

[sp3ctre]

hehe, well I doubt it will get us more women, but it will get movies of naughty women doing naughty things oh so much quicker!!!

Yes, I would also like to download my dirty films twice as fast as I do now.


So come on NTL, get your act together, son. It's almost the 2nd of June.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm due an upgrade or not. All these upgrades companies have been doing in recent years, this dash for speed, it's all a bit ruddy silly quite honestly.

When I left ntl I downgraded from 3mb to 2mb as I lost staff discount, and although the speed did change as it shows up in online speed tests, the actual difference to my browsing experience was - nil!

Therefore if goes back to 4mb the difference will still be nil.

There is just no point to it all...I pay £24.99 for 2mb, it's good value, it never lets me down and frankly I'd rather they didn't mess with it to be honest. I'd rather leave it as it is. They can keep their 4mb. I worry that this constant messing with things will eventually screw something up and break it.
