Telewest complete their 50% faster upgrade
Telewest have now confirmed that users of their Blueyonder cable internet service have completed their free 50% speed increase. The good news comes two weeks earlier than expected - a surprise bonus for the 498,000 Blueyonder broadband users [Source: Telewest Q1 2004 Financial Results]. Please note that many of these will be using the 256Kbps service, which was not included in the 50% faster upgrade.
Just to recap, persons living within a Telewest enabled area will now be able to receive the following services: (Please note that not all Telewest Broadband areas are able to provide the Blueyonder service).
| Old Speed | New Speed | Price per month |
| 512Kbps | 768Kbps | £27.99 |
| 1Mbps | 1.5Mbps | £37.99 |
| 2Mbps | 3Mbps | £52.99 |
(All prices based upon the assumption that you do not purchase any other Telewest services)
NTL have also announced similar plans, although these are not expected to conclude until the summer.
