Why don't we get these speeds here in the uk? :angry: . I pay equivalent to $50 a month for 600k down/128k up. And this is the best deal over here :angry:
We need more competition over here. Lame ass BT dominates the phone line business and NTL the cable :angry:

Muscleman, when you say tweak, are you refering to the small tweaks that broadband site suggests?
Where do I find some better ones? i've used the suggestions from Broadband, and didn't get any results :(

Wouldn't that be a violation of anti-trust laws? That would make them more likely to push Disney and ABC shows on their subscribers, and stifle the competing networks.

If Comcast takes over, all the rides are gonna be really slow, cost more than they're worth and break down when you really want em.

Hey I'm with NTL too, but I've got the 1MB connection @ £35 a month.
As soon as I move house I'm going to sign on with these...
Central Point (http://www.cpbb.co.uk/)
Although Telewest already have 2MB connections available, NTL customers don't live within their area. Plus, Telewest charge £50 min for 2MB connection.
Check out the link I posted :D

Thanks for the link samurai, this looks like an excellent offer. I think i'll subscribe after i read the small print :D . My NTL contact can be cancelled because i've used it for over a year now, so i'm free :D
ive got the telewest 512k service for £25 month, may upgrade to the 1mb, i cant get dsl, im to far away from the exchange.
