straight from the horses mouth.

gray · 08-03-2005, 07:06

Mr Fred · 08-03-2005, 07:08

£7.50 a month cheaper than bT and twice as fast.

sleepingfish · 08-03-2005, 07:14

Yeh Pipex have just double their speeds for the same price and I think BT are doing it as well.

Here's another NTL secret:

yeah telewest went from:

750k - 1mb
1mb - 2mb
3mn - 4mb

A THINK

its the 2nd upgrade at no extra costs so its pretty decent, it was only 2 get at BT like

300k now 1mb

I got told this by NTL last year, they still haven't upped the speed and said to me on the phone last week that it won't be upped till the middle of this month.

according to www.bandwidthplace.com >>

Communications 266.3 kilobits per second
Storage 32.5 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 31.5 seconds
Subjective rating Mediocre

I'm on the 750 package now, so I get upgraded automatically..

Awesome.

Now I can totally immerse myself in hardcore pornography

Mr Fred · 08-03-2005, 07:38

yeah they switched it today - supposedly.

Stickman · 08-03-2005, 08:00

ntl is great - unless you have a problem.

hawken · 08-03-2005, 08:18

what NTL say: "the upgrade is for new users only" "upgrades will be rolled out accross the country over this month for existing users" "300k users have to request their upgrade and won't be automatically upgraded" "300k users will now have a 3gig per month cap" <--wtf?

at the moment I have a gig a day cap, but if I upgrade I will have a 100mb a day cap.

nice1. How much traffic does playing CS source create?

usual confused NTL bullshit then.

cam · 08-03-2005, 09:29

3gig per month? are you sure they actually said that?

that's usually a limitation you'd find on cheaper, lower-use tariffs...

i'm on BY (telewest) and had two of these upgrades so far (512->1mb->1.5mb)

If you have NTL then you have a problem.

Does anyone know why just about every ISP in th UK has suddenly offered half price/double speed to everyone?

gray · 09-03-2005, 07:19

because theyve been ripping us off for ages?

sleepingfish · 09-03-2005, 07:40

Ok then, why did they all decide to stop ripping us off all of a sudden?

lucidcreations · 09-03-2005, 07:51

I'm with Plus.net for my 512k ADSL. As of April all ADSL accounts will be 8mb! The only limit will be download bandwidth. My account which is £21.99 a month gives me 30gb 8am - 7pm per month and 230gb 7pm - 8am per month. That's a shit load of bandwidth.

I'm guessing, due to the fact that most isp's are limiting monthly usage quite heavily, it's down to a change in the way they're being billed by BT.

hawken · 09-03-2005, 14:03

whats the penalty for cancelling my contract I wonder.

eternal NTL helpline loop...

Luke Redpath · 09-03-2005, 18:58

If you haven't been with them for the minimum contract term (usually 12 months) they might ask for the rest of the contract to be paid up.
