Yeah we should really be annoyed because they're giving us the fastest available broadband in the UK and charging the same or less for it. Tsk, some people.
10mbit uncapped for me from September.....ooh boy, time for a bigger HD I think
people like you who are just satisfied with what they give is the reason why broadband is so exspesive and poor in this country, you just take what your given with my qquestions or rants. EXAMPLE being the price schemes! if you phone BY up and rant and moan they wil lgive you hald price for 12 monthes, but im guesing you pay the normal price.
Yes im complaining beause almost EVERY other BB provider in the uk stick to the 10% rule for uploads, hell even ntl are rummored to be sticking with it with 1 meg up on there 10 meg lines.
Blueyonder are doing to little too late, by the time everyone has been upgraded "xmas" im sure adsl2 will be soon to roll out, and 24 meg down and 3 meg up seems a lot more prosperouse
Jesus, stop whinging about the upload speed. For the majority of users a faster upload speed would be useless while everyone will benefit from faster download.
We're currently on the 2Mb and were wondering if we should upgrade to 4Mb. Guess a free 5x upgrade to 10Mb has made our minds up for us.

Glad you happy with it
but at your lack of wanting better broadband in this country, yup lets just take what they give us with no gripes.im hacked off thats all, seeing swden lines with 24 meg down and 8 uplaods for £32 a monthe does this to me lol!
Who needs this huge upload speed?
Unless you are running a server or a business or illegally file sharing, none of which are considered legit by BY then I don't see the need, maybe I'm missing something?
For the majority of users a decent d/l with a good ping is the priority, what you can say for BY is that they don't impose a cap on their users which is one of the main reasons I stick with them.

When the upgrade is free then I don't think we've got a right to gripe about it, do you?
Yes, there are better services available in other countries but I think most internet users in the world would kill for a 10Mbit service like this, we're the lucky ones.
green face at your attitude.

why are you ranting when you aren't a BY customer
regret leaving them now ??IF 1 meg up is provided by others then BY will follow, its called business, they are not going to launch a product that beats the competition by a huge amount.
I am getting 2.5 X my current download speed from a company who have provided me with an almost faultless service (has been down twice for a short time in 4+ years) for a lot less than i am paying just now..
ummm, I think I should be more than satisfied..
I pay £35 at the moment for 2mb and was paying £35 for 1mb before the last round of upgrades before that 512kb was £25.
If I were offered a car on rental and someone said that for free I could have one with an engine 10x more powerful and didn't use any more petrol then I would say that was a good deal. If my local blockbuster ran a buy 1 get 9 free offer I'd think that were good too. In fact there aren't many situaltions where you'd get a deal like this for no extra cost.

Im actually still with BY and am getting my 8 meg adsl line turned on on the 23rd, i was waiting to see if BY upgraded and they have, but the lack of upload speed has made me decide to can it. the 8 meg line features over 60kb/s upload, all helps you know.
oh did i mention its cheaper than there 10 meg? i know its 2 meg slower on the down, but with the adsl2 rollout im guessing that should mix thgins up a lot.

I've been an early adopter of every improvment in computer telecoms since the 300/300 baud modem - people like me have been driving progress by spending our money for the latest tech which has allowed sponging whingers like you to benefit due to economies of scale.
I don't normally stick people on my ignore list willy-nilly, but having seen the excrement dribbling out of your whiney cakehole, I'll make an exception in this instance.
