1 meg

What the hell are you on where you live ? Aren't you out in the sticks now ?

2 meg uncapped. Crickhowell, less than 100m from the exchange!

Sweet. I thought you were out in the back of beyond. To be honest I have no use for 1mb, 512 is more than enough for me, but if they're giving it away for free . . . . 8)

What the heck do you use a 2 mb line for ?

[rhegedus]

What the heck do you use a 2 mb line for ?

Because I don't have a 4 mb line

The other answer being, 'because it's there......'

what's the fastest speed you can get privately in the UK?

[bugster]

what's the fastest speed you can get privately in the UK?

I know of one service offering 8Mbs, outside 'peak' hours. I think it was from about 8Pm to 8am. 1Mb otherwise. Limited availability though, mostly London Area exchanges.

My NTL Cable service just got upgraded to 3Mbps, Telewest Cable offers 4Mbps

[Hardcoreruss]

You can get 4Mbs in London

Just upgraded my NTL 750k for free to 2meg. Supposedly its capped to 1 gig a day, but then so was the 750k and I never hit any limits before. Hopefully the same will be true with the faster speeds.

[VCDHunter]

Any pipex customers tried to upgrade yet ? I've paid my £15 but they haven't turned it up yet or even emailed me !

Where do i sign up for this??

Isn't NTL cable upload limited to 15KB/s?

My mum has a 750k connection but is lucky to get anything like 40KB/s download speed

I am on the NTL 3Mb service, I can max it out sometimes depending on the server at the other end. My upload speed is 256Kb I believe.

[MackemX]

it looks like I can get 2MB's now yet I'm still paying £23.44 for 512K . I think it's about time I stopped being lazy and looked around for a better alternative

If my U/L goes over 10K the D/L gets hosed. on quick servers i see 80-90KB/S D/L these days.

Some sites just disappear from NTL though, Ebuyer will disappear for weeks, I can access no problem at work.

the 2Mb download package is 200kbps upload or 25kBps.
When I was on 750k from good sites downloading software I could regularly get 80-100kBps downloads.

Pardon :P
Also wireless on my laptop, but that should make no difference at

Yeah, I know - I was using our Pipex speeds as something NTHell aspires too

[Craig Tucker]

Look above Rob, I think you will find my NTHell download speed is faster :P

[rhegedus]

Granted, it is slightly more, but upload speed is quite less

(pissing contest..........)
