Telewest have followed
NTL and
announced a 10Mbps service for some of it's cable customers in a shake-up of
it's connection speeds.
As will NTL there will be no cost penalty, but the good news is that the service
will remain uncapped, as opposed to NTL who seem to favour a PAYG approach. This
will mean that although the initial cost of the connection is slightly more,
there will no no nasty surprises in store for heavy users.
Also Telewest are planning a much more aggressive upgrade program than ntl with
upgrades starting next month and completing in early 2006, whereas NTL won’t
have completed their upgrades until the end of 2006.
"There have been a few ISPs making a fuss about 2Mb services
recently, but that often represents the maximum speed they can offer at
the moment. We're making 2Mb our minimum speed and we'll also be
offering a choice of affordable 4Mb and 10Mb services for more demanding
internet users."
"What's more, our customers will be able to make full use of this extra
bandwidth because we won't be introducing caps and all the new speeds
will be available across the network. With blueyonder services you
actually get what you pay for." |

speeds, the details so far released are:-
- 512k increases to 2Mb for £17.99 (upstream increased from 128K to 256K)
