Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Well on the 750k to 2mb upgrade i remember i woke up in the morning of the first upgrades starting and looked on here hoping to find a way to upgrade without having to wait the whole month.
Everyone on here was saying if you use the upgrade service http://www.ntlworld.com/toolsservice...entUpgrade.php and type in ur details and then click next it gives u the option to go to 2mb from 750k. I did that and got 2mb instantly on the day the upgrades were first given out and did not have to endure the long wait for it to roll out in my area... Hence why im hoping tommorow morning when i wake up i will be able to do the same :). Maybe im just too hopeful :P
Anyone who was on ntl at that time will back me up that you could upgrade manually. I dunno if it was the same for the 3mb to 10mb upgrade as i didnt pay much attention to it as it wasnt my package but if it was, im sure it will be the same for this one.

I think you can only do that if you aren't already on the tier - so it will only be of use to those on the bottom tier.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I got my bill this morning stating 1x 4MB Internet and got all excited but nope, still 2Meg :( Maybe I should phone up and complain to see if I get a discount? :)

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

And everybody... in the words of Annie please... Tomorrow, tomorrow, betcha bottom dollar it WONT be tomorroooowww!!! :disturbd:


Only joking... good luck to all those expecting the upgrade ;)

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

my 2 meg is fine 240 kb/s all the time no complains from me, 10 meg was also fine never feel below 950 kb/s [got kicked off tho by ntl] so they cud sustain 10 meg and 2 meg, prety sure 4 meg will be a treat, jus u people are unlucky and automaticaly assume every1 is haveing the same problem as u unlucky 1's, bring n the uprgade !! tomorow yey !! is it jus gona switch from 12:01pm or what ? any1 know ? the modem will have to be reset i take it !?

If Scotty was working at NTL I belive the expression that would be used would be ""She canna take much more!".

Either this will all go wonderfully and every 2mb customer will get 4meg and be able to take full advantage of it or........
The whole network will grind to a halt for everybody and this site will be full of people complaining about not getting their full speeds on any package ad infinitum.

Hold onto your britches!

Horace or some areas will go smoothly and other areas will start to have contention and areas that already have contention will get heavier contention.

......


Or shaping will kick in same day and things will go somewhat different.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I think that's because NTL now bill you a month in ADVANCE (you should have got a letter explaining this), so you're paying for June before June comes along, hence you're seeing 4mb on your bill.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Not sure if have just cost myself some money, Recently upgraded to 2 mb, Awaiting 4 mb roll out. Went onto the upgrade page and entered my details. Was offered the BUND03 Service, No cost was mentioned on the screen. Pressed continue, Advised modem would reboot and then would be at new speed.

S**T looks like i have gone to 10 meg, Config file shows 10240000
Will my package price increase ?????????

What Is BUND03 ???????

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Its 10 meg and yes your price will increase to £34.00

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

lol -owned!

Seriously - can't believe all this hype. All this "I want 4mb straight away - should I phone CS in the morning" cr*p is really getting boring.

Wait and it will come - so what if Fred down the road has been upgraded and you havent but you're still paying the same price. This upgrade is being done for free and I really dont think that waiting a week or two even is going to really make that much of a difference. You're not exactly losing out on anything - just not gaining something. There is a difference.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Well said MagicMan, the sooner people accept the rollout will be taking place throughout the month of June the better. Endless speculation just clogs the forum up with useless posts.

The only things we know for sure are:

1. 2mb will be upgraded to 4mb.
2. It is scheduled to take place during June.

Anything else is just speculation/rumour!

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Trust me

Within 2 days all you will get on this forum is the sound of

A. Teddy hitting the wall.
B. Dummy being spat out.
C. "to the sound of someone jumping up and down and shaking fists" But i want it know.



We will have seen it all before. And see it all over again and again and again.

I bet you now that the first post will be about 8.10 tomorrow morning just after the first call to NTL CS to demand a upgrade or they will cancel
