"The cable company indicated that 31,000 of its 297,000 high-speed internet subscribers were on a 1Mbp/s service. In addition Telewest still has 280,000 dial-up internet customers. The 1,500 places on the 2Mb blueyonder pilot scheme were snapped up by the company's 1Mb customers within just 12 hours, Telewest said."

Two Megs? Damn, nobody told me about that!

The Register had the story yesterday: "Telewest is considering an increase in the number of people it will take on its 2Mb broadband trial after all 1,500 places were snapped up in just a few hours. "

"Telewest Broadband has begun trials of a new wireless broadband connection, enabling customers to access its blueyonder broadband internet services via a wireless access point and their digital set-top box.

The new self-installation pack is being trialled with the companyâs existing digital TV (DTV) customers in the North West and makes use of cable modems embedded in set-top boxes. The pack also utilises a pre-configured Netgear wireless access point and enables a connection suitable for either 512kbp/s or 1Mbp/s blueyonder broadband services. "

I wonder what price this is?
