Wooo Free speed!

[Howard]

I meant compared to the increases to the other NTL services 150K is doubling, 1meg is increased by 50%, but 600k only by about 25%

[Howard]

This is not unfiar in any way shape or form.

Last year (mayb year b4) NTL increased the 512 service to 600k for nothing. thats 88k> 11k d/load difference, which is half decent

yet.

people on 128k got just a measly 22k>2.75k d/load increase to 150k and had to pay an extra 3 quid for this very minmal difference. In ratio to the services 150k customers are pay far more for their service than the 600kers.

Its about time NTL gave us 150kers a good upgrade.

Sorry to be pendantic but your calculations are wrong

150K gives a theoretical max of 18.75K/sec (From 16K/sec)
600K "" "" 75K/Sec (From 64K/sec)

My calculations are the increases from the previous connections. i think


i havent worded it very well i dont think.lol

The only reason NTL upped it to 150k in the first place was to bring the ratios in sync, and the prime reason they upped the price is thats their main market, simple. and the return on expense is greater on 600k which is whay they wanted to encourage people to upgrade. NTL maybe poor, but the marketing behind it all is very clever.

The only thing is, the 1Gig a day limit, NTL can hardly enforce this any further with the increase in speed meaning you can max out even sooner LOL

Best news I've heard all month

[Legin76]

"NTL's entry-level 150K service is upgrading to 300k although the price will remain £17.99 a month. The 600K service is to increase to 750K (£24.99) while its 1MB service ramps up to 1.5MB (£37.99)." - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04...est_broadband/

Not as good as I thought. Only a 25% (150k) increase for 600k users

[Howard]

93K/sec is rather swift though

kick's BT's arse.

We have a 4 way 512 business line in the office from BT entirely separate to the rest of our network and its CRAP! My line at home, the 600k NTL line is sooo much quicker than the ADSL.

I'm on 2mb BlueYonder at present, so a 3mb line will be nice. Not that I was noticing that this connection was getting a bit slow, or anything...
