    Blueyonder Speed Increase



    blueyonder broadband
    Currently 512Kbp/s (kilobits per second), the entry-level service will become 2Mbp/s (megabits per second), for the same price of £17.99 per month

    blueyonder broadband complete
    The standard 1Mb service will become a super-fast 4Mbp/s service, still at £25 per month

    blueyonder broadband elite
    The current 2Mb and 4Mb options will be replaced by a flagship 10Mb service, costing only £35 per month

    Upstream speeds will also be increased to 256Kbp/s for the 2Mb service and to 384Kbp/s for the complete and elite services.

    hehe im surprised ntl are doing it - they always seemed restrictive to me.

    so do we have to pay more for the 10mg service if we already have the 4mb service (talking blueyonder here)

    my friend had the basic 512k NTL package, which got upgraded to 1mb (or something similar) - then telewest went up to 1mb, then recently his got upgraded to 3mb, blueyonder/telewest did nothing, then his got upgraded to 10mb !

    yet us on telewest/blueyonder who originally had 512k are "only" getting 4mb in comparison! not exactly competitive with NTL...

    (glad the upspeed it being increased though!!)

    No, basically you are "downgraded" to the £35 a month package (2meg atm) and you get your 10meg for that it seems.

    Roll on Septemeber
