I just got a letter off NTL offering 128K for 14.99 a month and a one off £25 installation fee,I pay this for freeserve anytime at the mo so is it worth it? I would get the 600 or the 1 meg but i canny afford it

What ya rekon?

Yeah definitely worth the upgrade. You'll only be getting around 40kbps outta your 56k modem on a phone line anyway due to line conditions.

So this would be 3X faster (which is quite a bit) and would be always on, so you have no dialling up, etc... well worth it if you're paying that already!

Thanks Tim i was thinking of that no dial up thing. Plus it's not much more than i'm paying now!

How much do you have to pay for Blueyonder? Do you have Modem cost's?

Oh and why Adam? NTL not good?

You prolly wouldn't have been able to go with telewest. Those two companies work together and don't supply the same areas. You're stuck with one or the other (although telewest - blueyonder is great )
