Give it a rest what use is 4mb if 2mb is crap!!

Peak time on 2mb in Manchester is a joke downloading sound card drivers at a whopping 5.2KB/s that is 2mb.

Think NTL need to sort the network and get staff to look after it before they upgrade.

As I have mentioned in the other thread that you have posted. I too am in Manchester and getting around 240kb/s as we speak.

You must have been downloading from a slow web site, can't blame NTL for that.

I have had 2MB broadband and the 750K before it for years and baring 2 to 3 days in total never had a problem with the speed.

lmao - ok then. What about "throwing their Air Max Hoodies out of the pram then" :-p

Getting back on topic (oops) - cookie_365, try rebooting your modem and seeing if you've been upgraded. I would but I'm in the middle of a download and dont really want to start again. Although, If I've been upgraded I could stop it now and then restart at twice the speed and theoretically finish it before I would have done had I still been on 2Mb!!!!

What, you mean I have to DO SOMETHING to get my upgrade? For crying out loud, it's already a quarter of an hour into June and now you're saying that NTL won't upgrade me unless I faff about with my modem?

I dunno, I'm off to Wannado ... or Carphone Warehouse ... or ... [insert name of isp with ad campaign featuring big colourful numbers here] ;);)

We're not all going to get the upgrade on day 1 as ntl said in their press release announcing the upgrades:

"The upgrades will be carried out on a rolling basis throughout June."

Now time for a reboot, just in case...
