Superman was referring to the 512kbit packages being bumped.

As far as I know, people won't start to see speed increases until early April.

Just got NTL Braodband 1.5mbps package. Originally IOLBB plus user. They are upgrading 512k to 2mbps in April. Any sign of NTL upgrading theirs accordingly. NTL UK upgraded their network last week

I think I saw April 4th as the date to start upgrades posted here somewhere. But I could just be confused. Both are likely

I'm going to close any more threads that appear about this before we actually know something new for definite. Just so you all know.

Apologies, that was supposed to be 2Mbit Down/256kbps up. The package i have has no throttling on it nor does it have a download cap. Its 24:1

It also costs ~€200/month, so you'd kinda expect it to be uncapped

Closing this once again, now that we have some idea of a date. Moratorium on new threads stands until we have hard news.
