Have you....

Just thought I'd ask those still with ntl if they have ever upgraded or downgraded or remained on the same speed tier.

And if you have upgraded/downgraded have you ever looked back?

Over to you.

I voted for my dad as he's still with ntl - and in the same area as me.

He's on the lowest level and seems to think it's perfectly ok for him.

When I was still with ntl I was always bouncing between 600k and 1mb.

I used to have NTL dial-up when it was free which I used with a dedicated second line. WHen NTL stated charging for dial-up it became cheaper for me to go on 150k BB than it would have been for me to keep dial-up and the second line.

When i got my permenent(ish) job last year, I upgraded to 600k and have never looked back, don't think i'll ever go up to 1 meg, don't download enough to need it, and the free speed upgrade in the summer will maked a tier jump even less likely.

edit: Mick, maybe you need to edit the poll and add a "upgraded from dial-up" option.

Well ain't we all upgraded from dialup at some point

, the poll is mainly about upgrading and downgrading whilst being an ntl broadband customer.

gone from 64k , yes i am one of the originals

, to 150k , to 600k , to 1mb because of an offer , back down 600k , down to 150k , and finally back upto 600k , i think thats it

I started on the 600k because the 1M was ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£49.99. When this came down to ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£34.99 I upgraded. Now looking forward to my 1.5M

(yes, at ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£37.99)

went from dial up to 600 k
stayed with that works fine

swoop101 · 29-05-2004, 14:14

First in the area on 512 which went up to 600, very happy and looking forward to 750.

When I first got ntl cable , I started on 600k, after a while I got a bit miffed at my upload, and saw the 1Mb as good value for money, Now im looking forward to getting 1.5Mb, and dont mind paying the extra for it

dilli-theclaw · 29-05-2004, 15:18

I think if I was still with ntl I'd be going up to the 1mb service. If the Bedfordshire area is sorted out by xmas when my 12months with tiscali are up I may even come back

ntl customer · 29-05-2004, 15:49

Used to be on 600k all the time.

Now .... where's the "upped and left because of bad service" option?

Matth · 29-05-2004, 15:49

Dialup to 150k - had intended to wait until the discount (ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5) dialup was over, but took a 2 month free + free install.

If I move at all, it'll probably be away from NTL, but the breakeven time for ADSL (buying kit, paying activation) would be quite long, and a cheap ADSL might be even worse than NTL.
Now to go and have a moan about the news servers, on a go-slow again!

I upgrade to 1mb after starting out months ago with the 600K service. I have downgraded back to 600K (from Monday 31-05) due to the price increase - Con merchants!

DieDieMyDarling · 29-05-2004, 18:16

Started with dial-up, then got 600k as soon as it become available in our area, and shortly after i just couldn't resist moving up to 1mb. I've been on 1mb for about a year now. (i think). And very much looking forward to the 1.5mb!

I don't mind paying that little bit extra, fingers crossed, there's not been too many problems lately, with email etc, if they'd just stop using those damn proxies!!!!!
