UK Bandwidth Increases

Postby Blade Runner on Tue Jun 15, 2004 12:27 pm

NTL and Telewest anounced about 6 weeks ago that they would increase their bandwidths by 50% for free. Does anyone have any idea when it's supposed to happen, I'm dying to get mine upto 1.5mb, i have no patience whatsoever. :wacky:

I've know about this since late April and thought it would be done in June but from what i can gather from HHAH is that there's no definate date, the only thing i picked up on was that NTL may increase it a month after they put the price up.

The thing that does piss me off is that I can only upload at 10kb, soon as i go above that the upload graph looks like a seismograph in an earthquake. Anyone know what i can do to increase the upload to 20 or so?

Here in the US, my Charter account jumped from 1.5 MB DL to 3 MB. Unfortunately, my UL is still crap. :evil:
