No....

What would be stupid is to pay for a residential connection, & then moan when it doesn't perform like a business one.

Now that would be really stupid.....

Nah really stupid would have been posting on a forum that logs your IP address while slagging a lot of NTL staff off and talking about using your NTL residential connection for business purposes....... :erm: :angel:

good point :D :D :D

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Well the main differences between business and residental is usually SLA and contention ratio's, so if eg. their is a business line down and a residental line down in the same area the business line will be fixed first every time.

I have read this whole forum Thread and this guy has appologised to the NTL staff twice and they are still giving him abuse. What a great way to advertise your company's technical support with that kind of atitude. WELL DONE NTL TEAM. What sad people 10 people had to try and ruin that guy what a great NTL team 10 against 1 my turn to help him out. If people can read he said he was using the service to help with customer services and to get drivers etc. This could be selling on ebay, amazon many more online shops. He could be getting drivers for his own Hardware or for repairing computers anything like that. I think people who have given him grief owe him an appologie as he has said SORRY. Anyway hope someone else helps this guy with his battle.

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

welcome to the forum, but I am not sure what your point is?

since he apologised there have been no replies by NTL staff, let alone abusive ones...

however, anyone who comes on a public forum & calls a group of people stupid twice within their first two posts should not expect any help at all from that group - their restraint is, in my opinion, admirable.

The thing is do you know from the posters who are ntl staff and who aren't, probably not :rolleyes:

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Erm most people posting to this thread have No connection with NTL, are not employed by NTL and are definately not paid by NTL ;) So how about apologising to us for falsely accusing us of something?? :p:
Oh and he said

I dont care what people think about me in here i was just looking for some info in here and noticed this forum so i had to try and help the guy out. He does have a good point about the connection though mine has played up from day 1 and im paying for 3meg

Feel free to start a thread about it then, it may be something as simple as signal strength being borderline or it might be equipment malfunction but without details there is little anyone can offer as to a solution.
If you start a thread and list things like Operating system, connection type (ethernet or USB), SACM or STB, router if present, Firewall and AV if in use etc.
Check here for what details would be handy

and here for info on retrieving some useful info if you are on a SACM

Oh and if anyone had felt that they were being abused in this thread all they have to do is use the report post function and the team would have acted ;)

Re: Upgrading to ntl 250 modem from 200
 

Hi, hopefully I might have came into the right forum. Big Question here, if your NTL modem: 250 is not registered with the MAC add is it possible to just plug it in anywhere and use the internet. Reason I am asking is my mate got a NTL :250 modem from someone, and my mate moved into a flat, anyway's there was a NTL co-axial cable already installed from the previous tennant, again, anyway's he plugged his NTL modem in and hey presto! it worked, I have asked him if he is registered with NTL he said he never has. This got me confused as to how his modem is doing this.? The reason I know that it works anywhere is he moved from that flat into a house which again had the connectors, plugged it in and hey presto! it worked. How is this possible.?

---------- Post added at 14:11 ---------- Previous post was at 13:59 ----------

Also this is not the only mate who is able to do this. There is a guy in my flats who also gets free internet, same modem box etc. These guy's have no idea really about computers or modems yet they just plug and play. Could it be that there MAC add is not registered with NTL.? please help my head goes ga ga !! lol from thinking about it, yet I come up with loads of answers in my head, but do not know if they are right or not.
