I'm with ntl (300 k broadband) 17.99 a month

and I was wondering if I can go to some one faster for the same price

I ran a few tests and this is what I found

Your download speed : 283711 bps, or 277 kbps.
A 34.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 64484 bps, or 62 kbps.

also I heard they will start using caps soon.

so is it worth staying or can I get a better deal with someone else

In Feb that 300k will become 1mb for the same price, but you will have a 5gb a month cap.

whats 1mb if you cant dload more than 5 gigabytes.

if it was something like 15 or 20 then that would be different.

darkmatter - I used to be with NTL and as far as I'm aware there is in fact a cap in place, I believe it was 1GB p/day. I'd check the ToS.

1 GB p/day is alright but the new cap(5 GB/p month) sucks.

who did you move to?
