Default Happy with NTL shocker!!

Hi all, this is my first post here and concerns my recently installed NTL Ultra 6Mb broadband.
Some background - moved out of home for 6-9 months cos of building works and moved to rented apartment in donnybrook. Had esatbt internet at home without too many difficulties.....problems with eircom over transferring phone in new place..... bought an 02 mobile broadband device - absolutely appalling, total waste of money, download speeds in region of 50kbs... avoid at all costs!!!!

Hate dealing with NTL as their customer service is appalling but decided to try their 6Mb broadband out of desperation.
Result: excellent!!! I'm pretty stunned to be honest, constant download speeds of 5.89Mb/s on speed test here, no matter time of day or night, and upload speeds of around 522kb/s. Also got similar download speeds on laptop through my wireless router.
I've only had it for 2 weeks so maybe this is a honeymoon period but I just thought I'd post to give credit where its due.
