"Dear 1Mb customer Exclusive opportunity to trial the UK's fastest unlimited home Internet service As an existing blueyonder 1Mb customer, you'll appreciate how speed has transformed your Internet experience enabling you to browse web pages in an instant, enjoy streaming video and download files in a fraction of the time. So how about a service that's up to 40x the speed of dial-up and 4x as fast as BT broadband? blueyonder 2Mb is the new revolutionary Internet service from Telewest. It's the UK's fastest unlimited home Internet service. We want to trial our new 2Mb service with 1,500 lucky blueyonder customers for it's first month. You must be an existing blueyonder 1Mb customer to take part, but there will be no extra charge for the duration of the trial. The trial will take place from the 26th March for 4 weeks, during which time you will have access to the Internet at speeds seldom ever experienced by home Internet users. All we ask in return is your feedback, in order for us to successfully launch this 2Mb service nationally. If you'd like to trial the UK's fastest unlimited home Internet service please visit http://fastest.blueyonder.co.uk Hurry, places are limited and we can only offer it to the first 1,500 who register. Please do not reply to this email. Yours sincerely blueyonder" I so hope I got in quick enough....only about 10,000 or so of us on 1mbs in the UK so should be ok.... |

It does sound kinda decadent, I guess... but it's my job to investigate tech like this so I'm not complaining... 1mbs gets me Divxs in real-time....2mbs is DVD quality...Video on Demand and all that.... (it's amusing that our work connection is a 2mbs JANET link...but shared between several 100 people....now that has made me feel decadent...:)... fuck....I soooo hope they choose me as one of the 1500 ....There can't be many more people whose life is more ON than OFF-line... |

YAY!!!...forgot to mention but I'm on the 2mbs trial...3 days gone...27 to go...(altho I'm going to have words with the blueyonder people and see if we can come to some agreement to extend that...they owe me a favour or 10...)... "blueyonder is pleased to inform you that your exclusive 2Mb trial is now ready to go. All you need to do is follow the instructions below and your internet connection will seamlessly transform from 1Mb to 2Mb, giving you the fastest home Internet connection in the UK. Switch off your cable modem. Unplug the cable modem from the mains electricity supply for approximately 30 seconds. Plug your cable modem back into the electricity supply. The amazing 2Mb service will be your default Internet service until April 13th and you'll pay no more for it than your current blueyonder 1Mb monthly charge. We will contact you at the end of the trial to resume your 1Mb service. You will also hear from our market research agency so you can tell us what it's really like. And, if after the trial you decide you can't live without the speed you can pre-register for blueyonder 2Mb in preparation for its national launch. We hope you enjoy the latest blueyonder experience and look forward to hearing your feedback. Best wishes The blueyonder team"... 1mbs was lovely but 2mbs is even lovlier....256K a second.... Divx movies dl in less than an hour... God knows how much they'll charge for it when it goes live....I'm getting quite a thrill being part of the trial tho.... |
