Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
The speed increase is quite noticable now, let's hope it stays that way.

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
Not got the upgrade yet after restarting my 120 modem here in Leicester, was hoping that I'd get it today as the status service checker on the ntl website said that there was a network upgrade in Leicester this morning.

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
I haven't been upgraded. I would rather they didn't bother. It's fine as it is. I have horrible feelings that something will go wrong and/or it will become less reliable.
If it ain't broke - don't fix it. If mine accidentally misses out I shall not say anything. I'm not rebooting it just in case, but I suspect it would reboot itself anyway. Why would I need more than 2mb? This dash for speed is just ridiculous. |

The dash for speed is the march of technological progress, it can't be stopped.;) For general web use (browsing and the odd download) I found 2Mb more than enough. Since being upgraded yesterday to 4MB I've realised the only time I'll be taking advantage of the higher speed, is if I need to download a new app. or update. It's nice to see the numbers on the speed test though :) As for the eagerness of the punters to see their upgrade arrive (I was as desperate as anyone :spin:) for me it was little to do with speed. As a Yorkshireman I'm always happy to get summat for nowt. :) |
