:beer: ALWAYS A GOOD THING


These new STB Samsung ones are they improved in some major way such as not crashing when checking cwctv.net email on telly net or something else mediocore where the old ones tended to lock up die fizzle and eventually bbq themselves. :rolleyes:

Gives this box 4month with my dad

Re: BB speed increase & STB
 

To resurrect an old thread....

I think my BB may have been upgraded from 600 to 750, but as was feared by the engineer who came out last week, the PACE box can't cope. I can just about do one thing at a time on the internet (slower than dial up it seems), but try and run P2P stuff and it all dies at about 10kbps (yes, not a typo it's that sloooooow). Meantime the TV picture keeps crashing.

If I do reboot everything, it seems to fly along for a minute or two then gradually grinds down to a snails pace. And there was me hoping tonight do VPN to my office to do a bit of updating of works IT. Fat chance.

Trying now to get a cable modem installed, but according to CS can't get an appointment for an engineer to visit even to check the STB until next Wednesday (a week later), as I can't be in tommorrow morning. I'm gonna go mad if I have to reboot the STB five or six times a night in the meantime.

Thinks another call to CS tommorrow is in order.
