Come on NTL pull ya fingers out.

Waits to see what NTL knocking starts when they have got their fingers out and moved customers to 10 Mbps. Can just imagine a UBR with several very high users on it who all decide to try and max out their new speed at the same time.

well ?

Might it be something like this >------

I think i am being ripped of because i dont have 10 meg yet. Another company has it that has nothing to do with NTL but they have it. NTL said we will start to get it around this time "read press release from NTL". I have at the moment this service "insert speed here" and pay this much"insert price here" which is the service level i signed up for and i am presently receiving. But this company"insert company name here " which is nothing to do with NTL has this speed "insert speed here" and therefor i am being ripped off.

lol well for one they do have somthing to do with ntl since they both have virtually the same capacity network and they are a UK company. That is why I am comparing the two. I understand that they are two seperate companies....but they are both based in the UK on relatively the same capacity network. Especially when ntl make statements like "Our broadband services will become amongst the most innovative in the world and certainly well ahead of anything else in the UK",

When that is just completely WRONG!

Where have they said you will have 10 meg at the same time as Telewest. BTW there networks are no way near the same size. NTL have a network 3 times the size.

Whether you mentioned size or not, the size difference between the networks owned by NTL and Telewest means that NTL WILL take longer to introduce new speeds. Even thought they (possibly) have greater resources (doubtful, bearing in mind the trouble NTL has been in), it will still take longer as they have far more areas to test.

Sorry but i cannot understand how you can say you are being ripped off over this ?. When the service is not released yet.

You need to read what actually I put, I never said "I" did i? I said "customers"
I know that i am not being ripped off and a 10mb free speed increase is great

My own feelings are that it will match telewest 384kb. You see i have no more info that you have at the moment.

384 will still be nice. I hope they push it a little further to 400 though. Would be very nice

lowest as possible to stop all the P2P traffic causing all the network congestion, its a myth that downloading is worse than uploading, its the constant use of P2P users maxing out their uploads that ruin the service for everyone, yet the heavy downloaders who don't use their uploads to the max get blamed
