Hey Druga Runda, did you know that there was a free NTL speed upgrade about a month or so ago?

The 300kbps option was upped to 1.0mbps, the 750 to 2.0 and 1.5 to 3.0mbps. NTL haven't been very forthcoming in telling people about it though and you have to let them know whether or not you want it. You can apply the free tier migration here The only downside being, that where as the previous 750 and 1.5 services were unlimited, the new higher speed grades have a 30GB/month cap, although from what I've heard, they're fairly lax on enforcememt, provided you're not a serial p2p/downloader sucking 100GB's + per month!

It was about time that NTL upped the speeds, as Telewest and Blueyonder currently have IIRC, a 4mbps high-end service and are apparently trialling a 8mbps service for rollout this year, while the ADSL operators have been surpassing cable in speed/bandwidth options in the pass two years or so. NTL are apparently trialling an 18mbps service, but from what I've read, whether or not NTL's network infrastructure can handle such a high speed, widespread rollout in the next year is another question!

Country: UK
Type of Connection: Cable
Brand/ISP name: NTL
Connection Speed: 2.0mbps downstream / 256kbps upstream
Data Transfer Limit (if applicable): 30GB per month
No of Hours (if applicable):no
Any Comment: NTL does seem to have a bad rep over tech support, although I haven't experienced any problems in this regard and have been using the service for over three years. The service is generally quite stable, but it does occasionally crap out (what a nice technical term :LOL: ). I'm quite pleased with the service at the moment, as i just received a free upgrade from 750/128 to 2000/256 for the same monthly fee.

ROTFL! Nicely said!

Me here: ADSL 1 Mbit flat for US $ ~45. I don't feel the need for more, but 3 Mbit costs like $10 more. I hardly use it for anything else but eMule etc., I do my surfing/posting mostly at work (I'll deny this if it should ever become public and will shoot anyone who says so) :).

No of Hours (if applicable):
Any Comment: As with Kaizer, there are DC hubs setup within the internal network (which is a couple cities in northern sweden + SUNET, which is the swedish university network) serving pretty much whatever you'll ever want, making external downloads a waste of time. And going from 100/100 to 10/10 makes me cry irl. Both the upload and download will of course vary depending on to where I'm connecting, but ATI, MS and so on goes at full speed.

Are you sure?? With a 12Meg connection you should get downloads at more than 1MBytes/sec! And with 1M upload you should be uploading at more than 100KBytes/sec
