bullshit broadband may be losing one customer over this!

great news they still seem to not want to issue a capped service as that would really suck with 10mbit

roughly what would be a optimal newsgroup style max download speed with that service? 1024kbps?

[Soulassassin]

MMmmmm!!!..

10 Mb unlimited...About time too

Best news Ive heard in a while. In fact have some K for bringing it to my attention

All the tiers will remain free of usage limitations, following research* showing consumers' confusion over bandwidth caps. The company believes its unlimited policy continues to give customers peace of mind and the ability to get the most out of rich media content.

I think that should read..

About 1MB\s you should be able to get shangrula.

Excellent news and Giganews have just upped my connection's to 10 as well :thumbs

Edit: Just noticed the 384k upload speed on the 10mbit, how shit is that, could at least have given us 512k

[flumperino]

woooooooooooooooooooooooop

Telewest are the best ISP I reckon - give us the speed, but still keep it uncapped. Plus, they almost never have problems/downtime (or I haven't anyway)

did I mention woooooop?

thanks for that m8

fuckin hel this is unreal, surely they cant keep increasing the speed with no price increase, i really hope they dont put a cap on it and get rid of the unlimited use.

being upgraded to 10 meg from 4 is gonna be mental.

im on 2 meg now for £35 a month, so i could just keep it at 2meg but only pay £17.99 a month, which is wicked

cheers for the info m8

[Fusen]

384 upload o.o prefer my 8Mbit/512k and then will move to Be with 24Mbit/1Mbit for £30 after UKOnline

[flumperino]

oh dear....I only read this article about 8 hours ago, and I'm already getting impatient

[manic]

True the upspeed is a joke to be fair.

[ianbarker]

Im buzzing cant wait for this nice new news

That's fantastic. Gotta get a newsgroup subscription now.
I was hoping for some sort of announcement cos at £35 for 2 meg TW were starting to drop behind, but never expected this.

[Drogo]

Yeap 10mb is cool, I 've been with BY for a few years now and started off on the 2mb elite package then they gave evryone a 50% speed increase taking me to 3mb, then followed another free 50% speed increase taken me to 4mb, and now this 4mb -> 10mb and cheaper than the £50 i've been paying £35 I cant beleive it ..

Also have read that 25mb will be coming by 2007 ...

[mateus]

I think all users (Telewest or not) on 512kbit should get 2Mbit due to a push from government ?

I got a letter from Demon saying all 512kbit users will get 2Mbit, sometime this year, at no extra cost. Which was nice.

nthell were on the radio this morning saying that their current customers will all get an increase to 10mb without a price increase, dunno how they plan that as at current they have 3 price points, i would assume that tw will follow the same path as they are now owned by nthell.
