Page 1 of NTL 10mb Speed Upgrade

Just had my old STB taken out and a new cable modem (NTL 250) put in it`s place - and it goes like stink!!!

Downstream 9178 Kbps (1,147.3 KB/sec) 9912 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 493 Kbps (61.6 KB/sec) 532 Kbps (inc. overheads)

So, if you are still on their service, get pestering them to upgrade you

Great isn`t it!!! :-D

Not quite getting 10Mb but the upload is fantastic!!!

Were you both on the 3Meg service before? I`m on 2 Meg and they told me that I would be upgraded by the end of 2006 :(

I was, but if you tell them you are going over to <insert any ISP provider name here> then they will probably offer it to you now. I was seriously going to move, phoned them up to tell them (Was also cancelling the phone service) and they came up with half price (and not for a limited time), free upgrade (They are charging some people 50 quid) and the 10mb service now.

I was on 2mb upgraded mine to 10mb online this morning took about 2mins, and bloody hell does it fly :D :D :D

They will let you have it now, but you have to upgrade from the mid package (2mbit) to the top level package (3mbit, but now 10mbit). So you`ll be paying £37.99 a month for it. If you wait for the proper rollout you`ll get 10mbit for £24.99 same as the 2mbit you`re on now (same as I am), but with a lower download limit than the £37.99 customers.

When the rollout is done everyone will be on 10mbit, the price differences will depend on what download limit you choose to be on (they haven`t been announced yet, but talk is the 2mbit customers will still be on 30gb a month).

I`m hanging fire until they upgrade me normally, as I don`t want to put the bill up. I did it online last time, but that wasn`t switching tiers like this time.

They`re not interested in giving me any half price offer, so I`m going to have to wait for the free upgrade from 2 meg, whenever that might be :(

I was on 2MB and always got a steady 2000/200 upload/download from adslguide`s Speed Test.
Now my download generally varies from 800 to 2000 (seen 4000 a couple of times) but upload is 500.
