Hello folks,

Just wondering if anybody in the UK could answer this question for me, at the moment ive got a 600k NTL cable modem and I get a fairly decent 60-70k a second max when download popular files through k-lite.

The monthy fee for a 1mb is an extra £10 a month and I was wondering if it was worth it??

Anybody here got the 1mb connection???

What kind of speeds do you get??

Thanks in advance

QP :)

Yeah I heard about the 1gig cap aswell, I think what happened was that so many people complained about it they decided not to bother.

Ive easily exceeded 1gig in a day and nothing has happened!

personally im happy with my 600KB ntl speed [with the exception of its frequent cutouts], unless you happen to download a lot i dont see the point of paying an additional 120 a year.

Right I got the 1mb :D please dont pay any attention to people trying to scare you off with the 1gb thoery. It is worth it. I reach speeds of 130 - 140. I would recommend getting it. I download nearly 2gb a day and ntl havent done nothing and Ive been doing it for 6 months now.

The 1gig thing is a gimic to try and make people pay extra for things that they already have.

i think that it's bulldog adsl. they have a service which you can only get in london that runs at 1Mb during the day and 6Mb at night, it's about £120 a month tho, but i so want it
