Telewest Increase Broadband Speeds To 10Mb (Uncapped) With 50Mb Available In 2007
Following on from NTL’s announcement earlier this week to increase its speeds to 10Mb, Telewest Broadband has just announced plans to shake-up its blueyonder internet services and outlined its capability to go much MUCH faster in the future.
Telewest have increased their broadband speeds across all their tiers with the top tier now reaching 10Mb at [...]
ntl Increase Broadband Speeds To 10MB
ntl have just announced that they are increasing their broadband speeds and making 10Mb the standard speed for all users, starting with the current 3Mb users. The rollout to all users won’t be finished until the end of 2006 which sounds a very long time and will cause a lot of dissatisfaction (my brother [...]

Personalised Homepages - Not Cool Anymore?
After watching the channel 9 video which includes a demo of the upcoming Microsoft Start project it made me realise that portals don’t seem to be investing a lot of effort into allowing users to personalise their homepages anymore.
In the late 90s this was all the rage and offering personalisation was seen to be important [...]
Bulldog In The Dog House
Things should be looking rosy for Bulldog with its own equipment in exchanges and innovative 8Mb service, but unfortunately that’s not the case.
Bulldog seem to be struggling to provide a decent service with customers queueing up to slam it for what they claim is its lousy customer service.
ISPA (The Internet Service Providers Association) is now [...]
WiFi stealing

I did once when my ISP was down and [...]
Google Over-stretching Again?
Google have just invested in Current Communications, the largest provider of broadband-over-powerlines in the UK.
I can’t see what expertise Google have to offer in this field. I’m starting to think that Google have too much money to hand and are randomly investing in companies and products. I really think they should just stick to [...]
Broadband wars - just Speed Vs Price?
The broadband war will soon intensify in the UK as LLU allows operators like Wanadoo, AOL and Tiscali to offer their own products with speeds in excess of 8Mb and with the cable operators also planning on trialling high-speed services.
However, for those users who have already been tempted to Bulldog’s 8Mb service it hasn’t been [...]
Newsgroups Safe From The RIAA?
Institutions like the RIAA never seem to go after newsgroup users, even though these users tend to be the biggest downloaders of content.
For instance, one newsgroup user at my ISP downloaded nearly 1TB in one month.
Maybe the RIAA are ignoring Usenet users because prosecuting them won’t act as a deterrent as the average user will [...]
ntl Reduce 1Mb To £9.99 - Don’t Ask Me Why
When other ISPs are trying to maintain access prices by bundling in more value, ntl seem to be fighting a price war without any apparent adversaries. ntl have just reduced the price of its 1Mb product to £9.99, apparently to match UKonline.
However, UKonline’s offer isn’t really a threat to major ISPs as it is [...]
