Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates
I should imagine Wales will be last to get the increase. Ah yes we almost forgot about those guys who get less pay and house prices are going mad.

?? Did McCains relocate to your shoulder???
Wales will be getting the upgrade a little later - but only as late as the rest of the Langley platform subscribers...
And believe me, it's not just Wales that has crap wages and ridiculous house prices, north Hampshire is just as bad...

some customers get 25% some get 50%
I hope you never get jury duty if you think that's fair.
so do you know why NTL gave away unequal increases

How about the 150K peeps who are getting a 100% increase - want to whinge about that?
Getting cancer isn't fair, getting runover by a bus isn't fair. Getting a speed increase for free (regardless of %age) is fair. Bloody grow up.

Yep, true too, you can always vote with your feet.
'So, sir/madam, why did you choose to leave ntl?'
'Because they didn't give enough away for free. It's not fair, he/she got more than me!'

Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates
The McAffee Internet Connection Speedometer indicates that I am only getting 317.04 Kbps on my 1 Meg connection. Does that mean from 1st September might get 475kbps?

Re: CF receive broadband speed upgrade Dates
orangebird one thing that amazes me, we (my family) have been NTL customers since (cabletel for a few years till it was taken over) 1998. not one day have i recieved a phone call giving me an incentive to either take up services or give me a discount.
now sky have offered me products at discounted prices on a few occasions. we have been sky digital customers since 2000-2001
now whos talking about loyalty ? SKY may increase prices but so do others...
NTL missed oppertunties for revenue and are creating more disgruntled customers...
