ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase

[handyman]

I think so too, thats because they said it would be a long while.

[Safeman]

any news on the upload yet

[sav112]

My friend in Bothwell got his upgrade not the 10MB but free from 512 to 2MB uncapped and could not be happier. Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢d accept this tier on my NTL. 10Mb is too much for me a steady 2MB would be great.



This merger could speed up or slow down NTL upgrade.



God there will be a total re-branding and name changing

But that's off-net, this is on-net.

Not necessarily. Nobody's said there will be!

You not heard of the one's seeing major congestion then?

Believe me a bunch of 2mbit users sharing 38mbit is better then bunch of 10mbit's sharing 38mbit. But people dont seem to care that its better that they just might reach that speed at 4am but get crap pings below their old speed etc. during peak time.

I suppose that'd be alright if you only had 5 or 6 people on the 38Mbps link, but that isn't going to happen!

I think we have to move more towards what other countries have always had - when we're reaching 10Mbps speeds, etc., it's always going to be "up to". If I were to sometimes get 7Mbps, fine - sometimes 9Mbps, even better.

But, at the moment, I don't think the NTL infrastructure can support it. We'll soon see.
