NTL 10 meg.

dlofnep

In the UK, the 1 meg and 2 meg didn't change. Might not be the case here, but something to note.

it's being done on a phased basis over there. 1 & 2 meg users will be upgraded to 10mb next year

Just to repeat, NTL:Ireland is no longer part of NTL:UK, it has now been officially bought by Liberty Global as of 3 days ago.

If you look at the UPC sites around Europe, you will see that they aren't upgrading all their customers to 10m, instead they usualy have at least three tiers which are something like: 1m, 4m, 10m. It is likely to be the same here, but they might up the 1m to 2m.

yes, i know! i'm not talking about ireland at all

So should us 2mb customers swap to the 3mb package now?

MartMax

don't be so greedy people.. at least, wait a while..

just imagine how poor we were using dial up a decade ago... :eek:

errr... can't go back......

Getting NTL 3MB installed on Thursday, will quiz the engineers about 10MB availability.

Can anyone tell me what wires NTL will have to bring into the house for the broadband installation? We have the TV coax in place already - does the cable modem just plug into that? Can't find that info on NTL's FAQs.

it's a coax cable from the wall to the modem translating the signal.
then ethernet, from modem to pc.

They will probably use that if it is near your PC. If not they may install a new point for you.

They put a new point in my bedroom for me.

Don't NTL charge an extra 5 euro per month for an extra point? Hopefully they'll have a wireless router for me to use instead of installing a new point...

No. It's 5 Euro for an additional digibox. They will install a point for a cable modem in any room you like if it is possible. I would think this is more likely than a wireless router unless you are in an apartment.
