I have 6 mps cable with no known restrictions on bandwidth. Considering I've downloaded Vista DVDs and the VPC for Whidbey bandwidth restrictions would be a problem for me.

NTL would up this to 1Mb/s for the same money if I request it, but with a 3GB/month bandwidth limit, and to me a slower speed seems less restricting than having to keep downloads to 10MB a day, hmm just Windows updates could use that up! NTL are said to be planning to upgrade all users to 10Mb/s over the next this year and 20Mb/s next year and just base the charges on a bandwdth limit. After all it's the bandwidth that costs them money and not the speed. Apparently they can get up to 50Mb/s out of the existing infrastructure if there's a demand for it. So ADSL may have the edge at the moment but cable could soon be a lot faster. ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
