There's no gaurentee that you'll get a 250 modem,It depends what stores have in stock.Spike

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

True.

Also, what makes you think that a 250 would resolve? They're essentially the same hardware anyway

Hey Guys i wasnt giving all the NTL Tech support grief just the guy who told me it was an optical cable connection as he was the one giving me grief. I know its co-axle as i used to work for ntl installing the broadband and cable tv. I thought it was a new word they are using instead of co-axle. The modem broke because i was angry with it and pulled it out to quickly. I havent used an x-box or anythin like that and it has been disconecting way before i broke it. So the guys who work at NTL who havent helped me over the phone "IM SORRY". I dont need to call tech support for a new modem as mine is working ok i was just wondering if i got another it would be more stable. I was also told before i broke my modem that the reason it was discconecting was a power shortage in the modem. So i will say it again sorry guys i just wanted some help with a new modem.

Even so, all this goes to show that you never know who is watching. You've upset quite a few ntl employees with your remarks. Be more careful in future and perhaps you will get more helpful replies

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Well im sorry i have had to offend people in here i wanted some help and yess i did'nt need to leave my remarks but if people had given me the help in the first place i wouldnt of been like this. I am like anyone else if you guys were losing money for not having access to the net then i think you would be like me:mad: . I tried to get help from someone who told me he was going to get a techie to call but no-one called. Thats what started this off im not an abbusive person i just like to get help for the service i pay for. I have seen a lot of unhappy people posting on here and i can fully understand why. Anyway I wont be leaving any more remarks< Not because NTL staff look but as respect for the staff who do know what they are talking about.

You only have a 'right' to be angry if you are paying for a business connection from ntl.

If you are using your residential connection for business purposes, then you have no right whatsoever to complain.

If you rely on your connection to make money, then you need to have the proper connection to go with it. :)

At the end of the day i dont pay £24.99 a month just to browse the net. That would be stupid i would just get the £14.99 package. Its being used to run my small buisness and my online tech support etc. I repair p.c's, mobile phones, x-box's, ps2's, etc. I need the speed to get drivers and testing programs. A buisness line would be too much for my benefit and my guess would still be unreliable.

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

As the old saying goes ...... " You gets what you pays for " :D

My business line cost £75.00 a month and has so far had a 100% uptime apart from a sunday morning fault that was repaired within 1 hour of reporting !

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Hi mate what is the speed of that service because that sounds interesting. Also how long have you been using that type of connection. Cheers :disturbd:

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Thanks for that mate i will have a look into it. Does anyone know if there is a cap limit on the ntl broadband 2 meg?

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

AFAIK 30Gig per month same as 3Mb. I think I saw a thread on the forum about it somewhere.

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Thanks Paul appreciated mate.

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

He said he was employed by NTL...... So why does he call them stupid.

I wonder.

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
