	arsen Head Arse UKTerrorist 01:28 26/4/2004	Terms and conditions 50% speed increase applies to downstream bandwidth speeds only - upstream bandwith speeds will remain at current levels(128k for 512k service, 256k for other services. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Fox ClanNEW 01:29 26/4/2004	getting a bit ridiculous the difference between upload and download now on 3mit your recieving 12 times faster than you can send [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Fox ClanNEW 01:32 26/4/2004	We understand that a small group of our 'power-user' customers may benefit from increased upstream speed, and will continue to look for ways in which we can meet this need. think 512 upload would reduce pings in games by quite a lot. 128 -> 256 makes a big difference [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	MiG 01:43 26/4/2004	upload and download rates dont affect ping, u get the same ping with 256k blueyonder as with 2meg [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	prawn 01:58 26/4/2004	I'm sure that extra half a meg download'll come in handy :D Now all I need is the £100 back they've owed me for over a month :/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Wardie 04:28 26/4/2004	[flame]FU WICKED YOU c***[/flame] My BT 512k gives me random pings, some servers 30-40 (rarely) and generally (40-50). 60kb/s downloads from good mirrors. Would like SHDSL, sooo expensive :( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Scrappy Sniper's Alley 07:47 26/4/2004	BY is the most reliable service I've had. (had modem, isdn, adsl). The only problem is when you come to move or get reconnected after not playing the bill :) Nice to see they are giving their customers happy. Though an increase in upload would be much appriciate.

	dartt! 08:25 26/4/2004	512k down and 128k up? Don't most companies do 256k up? I was thinking of switching over to BY but I don't want to sacrifice upload speed ( for games and bit torrent ) :( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	w1cked Croydon 08:40 26/4/2004	unlucky Wardie! and my sisters fit. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 08:55 26/4/2004	lets hope their prices aren't 50% higher :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Pash 09:16 26/4/2004	im a current 2mb by customer, been a customer for 3 years and never had any real problems, very reliable and fast service. 3mb will be nice but tbh with ya I just want that upload increased :[ . The reason they wont increase the upload anyhow is because if they increase it they cant fit as many users on the network which means they lose potential customers. This is what ive been told by my local bb techy. Its nice blueyonder are providing the fastest service for broadband in the uk but I still think not enough people know enough about the technology to question why the uploads arent increasing etc [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	`Spectre Intrigue 09:24 26/4/2004	Nice one :D i aint ever had any problems in the 2 yrs i've had telewest blueyonder either, better upload speeds wud be nice should come along soon mebbe. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	w0rm 09:24 26/4/2004	At the end of the day, about 90% of the customer base are just home users..people who just download a bit of music, check their mail and browse the web..all download. There isn't much scope for upload really, just between the small minority..which always looses! :'( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	SFAL^Sarge Viva la! 09:38 26/4/2004	they will not put the upload speed any higher than 256k and they never will. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Carb theb0g 09:51 26/4/2004	It's not the fastest service in the UK Pash. There is a company that currently provides 6MB ADSL (Bulldog DSL). [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Wolfie WanadooWolfie 09:52 26/4/2004	keep up Myers The good news about the upgrade is that the cost of each service will not be effected, meaning you will be receiving a quicker connection for the same price! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	monkE euthanasia 09:54 26/4/2004	1.5 meg ! im so very happy : ) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	tiSSue 09:56 26/4/2004	wont include ntl, ntl just put their price up £3 for their 1mbit :/ [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Crappy Super Breasts 10:04 26/4/2004	I'm not a BY user, I've got 2meg Nildram dsl. But I would imagine that like most things the competition will be worried and eventually have to follow suit in order to remain competative in the market. HURRY UP AND GIVE ME MY 3MEG U c***S NILDRAM!!! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	m0rphy 11:09 26/4/2004	it says on the Blueyonder website we're gonna download 50% faster? I'm not a mathmetician but as I have a 2 meg line at the moment, surely an upgrade to 3 would mean a 3rd's worth of speed increase? SORT IT FALSE ADVERTISERS! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Seaweed 11:29 26/4/2004	bandwidth does not affect ping, ping is latency ie the TIME it takes for something to reach the server NOT the amount being sent [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	trousers 12:27 26/4/2004	NTL are currently trialing a service which is a program with a 'turbo' button which means for periods that you need it e.g. downloading patches etc you can increase the speed upto 3mbit etc and then drop back down to 600k/1mbit or whatever, no idea on cost though as its only being trailled atm [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	muffin The Incarnate 12:51 26/4/2004	As far as I know there is no reason for the upload to be any slower than download other than it costing more for the companies in bandwidth costs etc. The idea of ADSL and cable etc was that people would prefer to download than upload, in most cases this is true. If you are on a 50 : 1 connection on 512 lets say. That means 50 people share that dedicated amount of bandwidth, hence the slow down at peak times. Therefore, for example they could stick 100 people on the 512 upload portion then cap it to 256 upload. I think on a basic level that is how and why it works. Standing by to be corrected.

	Kraken 13:16 26/4/2004	How much bandwith would a webcamera relaying a pic every 10 sec take up? If an internet Cafe had one, would it affect gaming on a 2mb down 512k up connection? [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
