Telewest broadband cable users in here!
Discussion
Just incase you were intersted and were not aware!
Telewest has rolled out its blueyonder cable internet access, 1MB down and 256k up to its home users for £35 a month
here is the info
1Mbps Service for £35 a month.
Just one catch - it is only available to BlueYonder Cable Modem service users - see their web page here.
The service is the official launch of Telewests 1Mbps service after the trials in Scotland. Pricing is £35/month if you take other Telewest services, or £39.99 if you dont take the basic Telewest Cable TV/Phone package.
It will be interesting to see what the take up of the service is like and whether it will purely attract users who find that they need more GB's per day bandwidth or those looking for their occassional downloads to be faster. At this price we may see all the heavy users on it which could have implications for the contention levels in the local area - which could then result in the eventual irony of the price going up or bandwidth metering getting introduced.
It is worth noting that Telewest assure us that they manage the local contention ratios to ensure that contention isn't an issue, so a few heavy users shouldnt spoil things for everyone.

hehe I dont have to worry about contention ratios .. as they are all old biddies where I live and I can not imagine them surfing the net like Seth Armstrong on Betty Eggletons Web cam, some how
I have had cable for a year now and always had 60+k a sec download.
But we are also spoilt at work .. as we in the IT dept know how to rape our main line and restrict all our norty branches
Heavy users download films about prauns
and other things from special ftp's

Why they just can't nip down Comet and get a cheap radio to listen to music...bbbeeeettterr than ddddiiiggitaallll....
