I notice that I now have a new configuration file: tmota4100-gold.cm rather than mota4100-gold.cm. Speed is still 1 meg.

Could this be something to do with the upgrade?

Mine updated all by itself, I only noticed the extra speed when I d/l a new Nvidia driver the next morning.

Well, no speed upgrade in Reading yet. I don't think it was mentioned before but it seems likely now and also makes sense that NTL would upgrade certain areas at a time. That way they could control the load and monitor the network better - rather than causing a surge. Lets hope that if this is the case, then they decide to do a few areas every day and that way we can all get the upgrade sooner!

I thought it had basically been said by NTL that those dates were wrong? so no point looking for the increase today.

ah i see - ntl's 'lets not confirm anything' policy still holding fast. Dunno about you chaps, butthis could have been a huge opportunity for NTL to have a really positive PR excercise - wasted opportunity i reckon.

BBking I am curious why ntl are so secretive over the upgrades,
Not up to me - I'd be splashing press releases all over the place as soon as it started personally. Perhaps that is what will happen...

t for 'temp' - you'll be moved back to the original filename when your area is uplifted. STBs don't work like this, incidentally.
