ntl has unveiled plans to set a new speed record for broadband. The move, to make a 10Mb connection its standard product, is due to be completed by the end of 2006. This is set to be the quickest consumer broadband service in the UK.
The first customers to enter the realms of F1 will be the current 3Mb Broadband customers. Customers will be upgraded to 10Mb by the end of this year. Their monthly usage allowance will increase from 30GB per month to 75GB per month. All other customers will be able to 'speed up' in 2006.

There will be no change to the monthly tariff prices.

With 10Mb, surfing becomes a more enjoyable experience particularly if you have more than one PC at home. For instance, downloading a music track will take just 3 seconds (vs 30 seconds @ 1Mb) or a movie preview in 30 seconds or a 30-minute video in just 3 minutes (normally 30mins).
"Our broadband services will become amongst the most innovative in the world and certainly well ahead of anything else in the UK," said Simon Duffy, Chief Executive Officer of ntl. "This is a major step towards delivering Britain's digital future."
Some customers with older modems or hardware will need to purchase a replacement to experience the full benefit of the speed increase.
