UK: NTL ramps up broadband offering

Via the BBC.

Cable firm NTL has upped the basic speeds of its broadband offering to 10Mbps.

Subscribers will get a standard minimum 10Mbps connection speed, without paying extra. NTL said it was a "major step" for the UK's digital future."

The higher speeds pave the way for the online delivery of much better quality video and TV.

More people in the UK go online via broadband then by dial-up, says the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Broadband overtook dial-up in May, and now makes up 50.7% of net connections. Many people now have basic speeds of 1Mbps or 2Mbps.
