Chris Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 There's no extra charge for this - it's absolutely FREE which means you can enjoy 50% faster broadband for your existing monthly charge.You don't need to do a thing!By the end of May, all 512k, 1Mb & 2Mb customers will be automatically upgraded, enabling them to go 50% faster.Click on the 50% faster calendar on the right for timing information that will be updated on a regular basis. * blueyonder broadband 750Kb The standard blueyonder broadband service will increase in speed from 512Kb to 750Kb, but still cost from only £25 per month (£27.99 if no other Telewest service is taken). * blueyonder broadband 1.5Mb The faster 1Mb service also gets a 50 per cent bandwidth boost to 1.5Mb, for the current price of £35 per month (£37.99 if no other Telewest service is taken).* blueyonder broadband 3Mb The flagship 2Mb service becomes the UK's first residential 3Mb service, offering speeds up to 60 times faster than dial-up access, from £50 a month (£52.99 if no other Telewest service is taken).More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Radfordin Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Shall be interested to see what difference it makes. Interesting that I had a phonecall from Telewest last week and they didn't mention this. The chap didn't even bother trying to sell me an 'upgrade'.

expertec Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 What'll the upload speed be when the 512k is upgraded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Upload remains the same - 128k (which I didn't actually know despite having had Telewest for nearly 2 years - funny how this little fact was never mentioned!)http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyonder/get...age=bbs_tsandcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 :angry: could really do with a bit more upstream bandwidth, but it's not costing anything extra so... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Agree - would rather the up went to 256k than the down to 750k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
