It seems Telewest has gone live with its 2mb broadband leaving NTL dragging it`s heels (who is my provider) i i live less than 2 miles from a telewest franchise...arrgh:eek: ...anyone who is on the Telewest network and wants to up their speed can go HERE you lucky devils.
 
I was paying that for 1mb cable with NTL which they have now reduced to £35.

I would pay £50 for the 2mb service.
 
Just seems a lot for an internet connection, I think that £30 is a lot though. :)

(note: £50 is 80.2 USD)
 
It's cheaper than the £140/month BT used to charge, not sure what they charge for 2mbit DSL lines now, but back when DSL was very new, it certainly wasn't cheap :)
 
We've got a 2mb ADSL line at work through Pipex, and that costs ~£130 a month
 
I went looking at the specs of the 2mb line and i have now changed my mind as the upload speed is still the same as my 1mb cable connection a poor 256k (30k upload max).

If it was 512k (60k) upload then i would bite their hands off. The upload speed must have quite an impact hit on the network for it to be kept at 256k:huh:
 
But what’s the contention ratio. Most new faster than before services are only fast until fifty users log on then it’s back to the 56k connection.

:( :( :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
