Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates

I'd rather have a cheaper 1mb with 256 upload than 1.5MB at £38.

Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates

Time to downgrade to the 600k service. I am not happy about those dates. First they make 1mb users pay more then they make them wait another month over the 600k users for the speed bump.

Bad show NTL!

Read the story again. The delay in 1Mb upgrades is only for STB users, and it's because STBs have to be replaced to a newer model if they are to handle 1.5Mb. SACM users will all be upgraded at the same time, whatever their current service level (depending on area). Being in Cardiff, you're using a SACM, and so (assuming the details in the news story are correct) will be upgraded at the same time as everyone else in your area.

Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates

good news, but I will still wait for it to happen before I get excited, this is NTL we're talking about

can somebody refresh my memory as to why the 600k service isn't having a 50% increase? I can see it spaces the tiers evenly but it doesn't seem very fair unless there is a price cut due, to compensate, which I doubt.

You're getting a 25% increase for nothing - and your tier wasn't previously affected by the price rises either - pray tell, what is not 'fair' about that??
