Default FAO Telewest Blueyonder customers

did you get this mail....an upgrade for freeeeeeeee

blueyonder broadband 3Mb becomes 4Mb
The flagship 3Mb service becomes even quicker - a 4Mb connection which offers speeds up to 80 times faster than dial-up access. We're also increasing the upload speed for this service to 384k. Price remains £50 a month.


blueyonder broadband 1.5Mb becomes 2Mb
The 1.5Mb service also gets a boost to 2Mb, for the same price of £35 per month.


blueyonder broadband 1Mb
The standard service will increase in speed from 750Kb to 1Mb, but will still cost £25 per month.


blueyonder broadband 256Kb
The entry-level 256Kb service will remain unchanged, costing £17.99 a month. (Currently offered at £14.99. Click here for more details).



"Dear customer


COMING SOON - EVEN FASTER BROADBAND

At Telewest, we're committed to providing you the best broadband services at the best possible value.

So with this in mind, we’re especially pleased to announce our second programme of speed upgrades this year to make your blueyonder service even faster.

We increased the speed of your Internet service in April by 50%, from 512Kbps to your current speed of 750Kbps. When this second speed upgrade is completed, your new speed will be 1Mbps – a further 33% increase.

Furthermore, this increase will come at NO EXTRA COST and with completely UNLIMITED USAGE. Your current monthly charge will stay exactly the same.


THERE’S NOTHING YOU NEED TO DO

Work on our network will start in December and be completed by January 2005. Everything will happen automatically, so there’s nothing you need to do. There’s no need to contact us.

Once we’ve completed the work in your area, we’ll write to you again so you’ll know exactly when you can start enjoying your faster speed.

The team at blueyonder"
