NTL upgrades are GO (and free)!
Recap of new speeds and caps (down/up/cap):
1000Kbs/100Kbs/3GB per month
2000Kbs/200Kbs/1GB per day
3000Kbs/300Kbs/1GB per day
The caps are still shit but what the hell, they say they'll only chase persistent offenders.
Overview.
Upgrade link.

Re: NTL upgrades are GO (and free)!
Nildram are upgrading everyone to a 2Mb connection, and are lowering the price. (Apparehntly its now going to be £25.99 a month I think they said). They are, however, annoyingly introducing a 'fair use' capping policy, 50Gb a month between the hours of 8am and 12am I think it was. Anything outside those hours doesnt count, and you can pay for extra if you want to. It remains to be seen if Mark can restrict his downloading accordingly.
£20 less a month is a nice reduction though.

Re: NTL upgrades are GO (and free)!
per month I assume?
If I was switching to ADSL I'd use Plusnet I think.

Re: NTL upgrades are GO (and free)!
When taken on a per month basis the caps are better than some.
However as with most things there are ADSL services that provide significantly better deals.

Re: NTL upgrades are GO (and free)!
It's certainly a little snappier than 300k.
I decided to take mine up to 2Mb for the extra £7/month. Hurrah, no more hour long waits for windows update etc.

I'm still with Blueyonder, and they've not got any lameass caps despite provision upgrades twice in the last year.
