I'm greatful to the lady that put it through, i never said i was greatful to ntl... sure i'm happy it's been done but it's in response to competitors speed increases it's not "a gift" it's a way to keep customers.

went online to upgrade to 2mb manually rebooted the modem and connected to modem on 192.168.100.1 checked operating config and i have
downloads at around 240 compared to 90.

For a freebie regardless of any cap well done NTL you have restored faith in the faithless ;)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

It may have been asked already, so apologies if it has!

Has anyone received a automatic 'upgrade' without asking NTL CS by phone or using the upgrade thing on their website?

Ive a few mates who work in NTL swansea and theyre saying that the upgrade has to be sent to you and its not automatic? Supposdly trying to keep numbers down! :erm:

Hi all,
Just had my STB upgraded to 2mb through CS,(Blackburn) big thanks to all the positive comments in this thread about how to achieve this.
I,ve been with NTL for years, and have always enjoyed a great service.

not really great if "YOU" have to phone them for it.

Please help a dummy
 

I have the 2mb (37.99 per month) internet connect broadband through a NTL Home 200 stand alone modem and live in Bury (ex C&W area) Lancashire.

What exactly do I need to do to upgrade to the 3mb connection?

I've tried rebooting my cable modem to no avail.

I'm sorry for asking but there are too many threads and conflicting answers about upgrading speeds and I thought you might be able to help me.

Many thanks

Bubby;)

Response to which competitors speed increases? Most of the ones for more than 2Mb are six months away, if the trials work and if you live in the right place. Let's face it, no other ISP in the country can give more than 2Mb to as many customers as NTL can. When will some customers wake up to the fact that they are getting a damn good deal from NTL.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Technically YOU don't have to phone anybody for it. It would have been given to you at some point this month. It's just so happen that if you want it more immediately, it's better to do it online or phone them. Most people may be happy to wait patiently for these things. :)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Erm you don't 'HAVE' to phone, if it's really that much trouble could just wait for it to be done automatically, which for most places is a very short time away.

Re: Please help a dummy
 

If your area is ready to roll out the upgrades you will either need to ring CS and ask if they can do it while you wait or go to
http://www.ntlworld.com/data-feeds/e...cablemodem.php
and put your original account/ user name and original password in to get the upgrade to go through.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Check out Pipex, Telewest or even god forbid AOL. All 3 have no caps and they can do 2Mb or above for relatively the same price.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

All 3 Currently have no cap. Only time will tell if this remains the case though ;)
