It won't as they are hacking it already

Re: 2mb to 10mb upgrade - when?
 

Just a recap.
I was informed by VM (English speaking) that the updates starts from today May 1st not everyone will be upgraded at the same time, you will be notified by letter when this will be, this is for 2mb to 10mb upgrade of course and depends on which area they do first.

One point to note.... I could well be wrong, hope I am but those with Set Top Boxes (STB) will not run at 10Mb speeds.

Just a thought, if I sign up with VM I'd be put on 10mb wouldn't I??? Any clue when this will be in the Wigan area?

I forgot to add.... the modem so VM tells me doesn't require a reboot it will see the upgrade automatically.

So if they are saying that it will mean customers will be ringing up to complain about their non-upgrade and we will be saying just reboot your modem please, you could not make it up.[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Thank you Moldova

*gives Moldova a giant cookie*

It looks like it may be time to get rid of this aging ntl:home 100 too...

Re: 2mb to 10mb upgrade - when?
 

Thanks for the link Moldova!!

i signed up for the 2Mb -10Mb upgrade, but it said i need a new modem!! it says a new modem is being posted to me. i have the ntl:250 blue one. i thought this was quite up-to-date and could easily handle 10Mb?

do i really need a new modem??:confused:

what is the new one like??

Thanks!

Re: 2mb to 10mb upgrade - when?
 

I've just done the same and I already know that my modem is OK as I have recently downgraded from BB L to BB M.

This process is a mess!

Taking this action is all about getting you an appropriate modem and does not actually move you up the queue to get you upgraded sooner. The upgrade will be phased in as with previous upgrades - region by region.

All this process is going to do is send a lot of unneeded modems to people and get them upset that they're not going to get to 10Mb any faster.
