The 10Mb service isn’t the end for which seems to be an ever increasing NTL speed, NTL have plans to increase this speed as and when their framework has been tested fully. “Currently, an NTL technology trial in Chorleywood is delivering speeds of up to 20Mb to a school, small business and several homes. This level of speed and bandwidth offers the opportunity to enjoy a host of new services. These include high definition TV, 1000 channel global radio, video conferencing amongst friends & family, global gaming, low cost IP telephony, video email, and of course the things people already use broadband for, but at much greater speed.”
