Title: durty durty NTL customers
Post by: [TiG]jalls on August 07, 2005, 03:03:59 PM

CABLE giant NTL will announce tomorrow that its 1.9 million broadband customers are to get a service of ten megabits a second, the UK's fastest consumer internet service.

Announced with annual results, the service will be rolled out to all NTL customers, starting with those signed up to its current fastest rate, three megabits a second - a measure of the amount of information delivered through cables. There will be no price rise, but customers will pay different rates depending on how much is downloaded, says Bill Goodland, NTL's internet director.

At the new speed, it will take eight seconds for a full CD of music from a service such as iTunes and only minutes for a whole feature film to download.

Maybe telewest will get that too because NTL and Telewest are the same I think.
