Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery

NTL has increased the cost of its unmetered Net access service by 50 per cent blaming increased costs for the price hike.

Punters will now have to spend £15 a month (it is presently just £10 a month) on non-Internet phone calls to received 24/7 unmetered access to the Net.

If users don't manage to spend a full £15 a month on voice calls, then NTL will simply round-up the figure.

The new pricing arrangements for ntlworld come into force on 1 February and reflect a 50 per cent increase for the year. Ouch. ®
