im getting really fed up

it seems like everyone is getting their broadband upgraded for free, as technology moves on!

and yet im still stuck on 512Kbps

so, can i ask, how many of you have been upgraded (for free, or a small charge)

and is there anyone who can help me write an angry letter if things look like im due an upgrade?

BLOODY WANADOO more like wanadon't

just been upped to 10 meg on telewest for no charge.
was originaly on 512 which was upped to 1 meg,then 2 meg and now 10 meg.
also the TV pckage was upgraded with a software sky+ type affair.

no charge for any of the upgrades. time to change me thinks

I started on NTL 512k then got upped to 600k then upped to 1mb and now i'm on 3mb for no extra charge

10mb i want that

id change providers if i was you pete

well, id like to try the angry approach first, as they must want to keep my custom, and if all other providers are doing it...........

very strange that considering the NTL/telewest merger type thing that NTL seems to be so far behind.

yes,iam on wanadoo,and all new customers get the latest upgrades.current customers have to pay my twelve months is due in dec,and iam changing companies.who has changed? was it straight forward and was it a plug out and plug in or do you have to wait for them to set your new modem?

well, id assume youd just change the thing the modem connects to

new username and password

unless you change to a differnt way of connection, like form ADSL to cable or something

I read somewhere that NTL and Telewest have the cabalities to have stupid speeds 20mb+, dunno how true that is, but if it is id like to be upgrade to 20mb please

yes they can as they have the infrastructure. the cables mainly but they are not going to put out there highest speeds just now as they would have nothing more to offer. 10 megs okay for now

I think the only real limit for cable BB infrastructure is download capacity, the higher they give on speeds, the higher the level of downloaded data. This is AFAIK what pushes the systems rather than the speeds. ADSL is different on that issue however.

I'm with Tiscali,

Was on 512kbps and asked if i could upgrade to 2mbps broadband. Simply upgraded it without cost. £17 a month for unlimited 2mbps broadband, not bad, but i wish Evesham would have cable facilities installed.

I was on Dial-up then 512k then 1mb then 2mb now as far as I'm aware 4mb

Not that I have noticed much difference to be honest, but then again the last time i played a game online was ages ago.

Most downloads from servers are restricted anway so it doens't matter how fast your Broadband is.

Im getting upgraded as part of Nildrams initial testing to 22mb downlink. I think its quite pathetic really the upload is only 768k!. If your downloading at full capacity your going to use all your uplink bandwidth sustaining your downloads!

I'm still on 512k too Serin and BT can't yet give me an update as to when they are going to upgrade the exchange to move to anything higher! I don't think it's Wanadoo, it's BT not upgrading the exchanges, so Pipex tell me anyway, because every other person I know with Pipex has been upgraded. And now stupid stupid stupid BT are talking about trialling super-fast BB when they can't even get normal speed right

wel i live near the exchange, so ill go and ask 2moro

Your not gonna be sending a whole lot of data to the servers saying that you still want to download the item. Its just small packets saying "keep it coming" hardly alot to send to them.

Im with BT
I was on 56k, upgraded to 512, now im on 2mb.
Since they introduced 2mb they included transfer limits. I can send/receive 20GB a month thats nothing.

With blueyonder at 512k, supposed to be getting upgraded but nothing yet.

AOL 2MB

Not my choice, my dad pays for it

im on telewest blueyonder started on 2 meg now 10 meg free upgrade and im moving house soon and i will have to go back to 2meg no no no no
