I'd imagine you wouldn't see the results until you reset your modem, but...thats just my thinking.

I just upgraded from 600K and my cable light on my modem went of for a second and came back on with 1.5Mbit

I would do the speed test but Im currently downloading at 175k/sec :)

1. Yes, they come round with a loaded gun and force you to do what they said you should do if you haven't worked out from previous posts the answer to your question. ;)

2. Upto what they said they would give.

How about sitting back and taking things easy and forgetting about the increase. You will get it when you get it. :angel:

Beh, rather upsetting that my broadband isnt actually double as I was already getting 256 without knowing it, I thought my dl speeds would soar to around 60kb/s :(

Incorrect, it clearly says that 1meg stb users are getting upgraded 1st september, 150k - 600k users stb on the 1st of august, stand alone modems 150/600/1 Meg Start 1st August.

If its incorrect why have I been told Manchester is being upgraded from 2nd August and my samsung arrives on the 10th August as this was the first date they had, and I will be on 1.5mbit then

Also bear in mind that none of this information was officially released by ntl, so we have no real guarantees.
