Telewest Broadband FYI
 

Price of the 4mb package is to be reduced to £32.99/month (current 2mb price)

2/4mb subscribers will have their bandwith increased to 10mb

1mb subscribers will be cranked up to 4mb at no extra cost.

Effective shortly ;)

yeah saw it on their site on thursday, cool aint it:D:D Cant wait for 10meg:D

"1mb subscribers will be cranked up to 4mb at no extra cost."

eh, I read what you typed and it doesn't make sense. Don't you mean 1mb will be upped to 2mb ?

512k users are going up to 2 meg, 1 meg users are going up to 4 meg and 2 and 4 meg users are being put together in a 10meg £35pm package

The only gripe I have with Blueyonder is that they should offer their lowest speedsat a much cheaper rate. Some people (like my Mum) just don't need all that bandwidth. It's great for me and I'm willing to pay extra for 10Mb uncapped, but for my Mum £25 is a lot just for a broadband Internet connection. I think Blueyonder will lose some customers to cheaper ADSL services. And like most businesses, they only offer decent deals to new customers - that really pi$$es me off!!

They do 512k for 18quid, which will be upped to 2meg for free in september. 18quid for an uncapped 2 meg line aint bad.

I'm sure my Mum pays £25 for 512Kb :confused: I'll phone and ask her to check. Hope they haven't dropped the price for "new customers" over the last 6-12mths :(

I agree it's a good deal. They could offer 512Kb for a tenner uncapped and give people the option to leave the 2Mb upgrade.

Think its 15quid to new customers and 18quid for existing ones

ta, I'll get her to check.

Is this a wind-up?

Can't see any mention of this offer anywhere on Telewest or Blueyonder site.

I've got 1Mb at the mo', so you're saying they are upgrading 1Mb users to 4Mb at no extra cost and it's still unlimted?

If it is true it's cheap getting 4Mb for £25 a month.

:D Thanks!

10MB - 1.2MB per second mmmmmmmm

:D :D :D

That’s an average sized album in about 60sec and a DVD in about an hour and a half:D:D

Good isn't it.

A 10meg connection practically allows you to stream DVD9's :D

Blockbuster online DVD streems would be a great idea. Decide what you want to watch, leave it to buffer for 10-15 mins while you sort out your beers and crips then your away:D.

That concept, with Media Centre definately shouldn't be far away.

Copyright protection will be the only hurdle (not that it's terribly effective at the moment ;) )

They should be grateful that they'd get 2-3 quid for a stream rather than fook all, with 10meg connection I’ll be able to DL a film in an hour or so from the news groups
