Brief update

Site modifications

As some of you will have noticed, I've made some relatively small changes to the site. This has been done in response to last weeks announcement by BT that the preregistration scheme has ended. Exchanges previously labelled as "Collecting pre-registrations" have now been changed to "In planned rollout scheme". I intend to make further changes to the site soon, although it's that dreaded time of the year again (exams!).

Telewest begin their 50% faster rollout

Telewest users on a number of forums are reporting that the speed of their service has been boosted already. For those that missed the news last week, Telewest are to give all Blueyonder users 50% extra bandwidth for free by the end of May. The full schedule for the rollout has not yet been made public.
