NTL introduced bandwidth limits in November (unknown to me until I arrived home) which I can see as a serious issue. The result was that I needed to upgrade to a faster connection to get increased bandwidth limits because at the moment by amazingly fast 1mb connection is useful for about 10 hours – that’s how long it would take me to max it out if I was downloading.
So we rang them up and asked to upgrade to the 2mb a second connection which has a more reasonable bandwidth limit. They said we sure could but the current set top box modem couldn’t handle it so we would need a new modem. No worries, they could have that to us by mid-January. Just after I go back to uni as it happens.
Lot of good that is. After moaning to sales they are coming next week or something now, I don’t really know what’s going on but it looks like the bandwidth limit is going to stay until January when they remove all the bandwidth limits which means I will be stuck with this limit until January when I only have like a week.
