Re: 300k or 1Meg

no doubt the guy was probaly from pakistan or somewhere and read it off a bit of paper lol and read the old one but meh

not sure if i should risk upgrading to 1meg i would break the 3meg limit in under a 2weeks no problem, i take up like 200mb(ish) a day, 15 days later it would be over the allowed bandwidth, and i sumtimes download large files meaning ill definly be over it but might be worth upgradin to 1mbit for a month or two well till i get the warning then get 2mbit

Re: 300k or 1Meg

I think that`ll depend on how many make the jump. I still think they`re trying to get a 2meg entry level.

Post Re: 300k or 1Meg

Hmmm
I spoke with NTL Broadband Support re: capping & 300k phasing out - and recieved several conflicting responses from the wonderful (useless) tech support peeps over in India. So - I called CS & demanded to talk to someone who could give me the truth! A very polite lady full of the joys of Red Nose Day went away & came back to read from their 'official' documentation... She read 'All 300k users will be automatically upgraded by the end of March' and 'The 3Gb cap will not be enforced until later in 2005'
So - I wonder what trith there is in that!

Time I started looking at ADSL, if that's true - at least when they DO turn the screws - only NTL could make a NEGATIVE out of a speed upgrade!

Re: 300k or 1Meg

The problem with NTL is that they get so many leaks before hand that eventually one can be forgiven for being totally confused whether you're an NTL CS or just a customer....

Thus far I thought we had a choice about 300k.

Possibly NTL managment deliberately leak info in this way to see what offer they can finally get away with...

Cynical? Me? You bet...
