Telewest has commenced rollout of its planned broadband speed increases, spearheaded by a new 10Mbit package.

Around 40,000 Scottish customers in Motherwell, Dumbarton, Castlecary and Uddingston were first on the list, with a further 100,000 homes in London set to follow over the next week. A full schedule is available at the Blueyonder website.

"We're committed to rolling out these significant speed increases to all of our blueyonder internet customers by early next year," said Eric Tveter, president and chief operating officer of Telewest Broadband. "Combined with our new PCguard security package, our customers are enjoying fantastic added value."
