Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

Yes, indeed. When we lived on the other side of the street, we were the very first customer to be connected to the cab.

Thanks :) Good to have it confirmed, there's been a lot of errors on the checkers in this area in the past so I was trying not to get my hopes up!

Also explains the high amount of crosstalk we were getting towards the tail end of last year. Given the <10Mbps ADSL speeds and zero alternatives, I'm not surprised they managed to fill it up!

Have they started trialing 200mbps in some areas I noticed the other night my news group download was hitting 206mbps and a speed test I just did now hit 192mbps

Thanks read the last few pages and didn't see much but that explains it.

I'm still on 12Mbps.

I'm supposed to get upgraded by the end of May but considering it's been constantly put back (for well over 6month now) I'm naturally not holding my breath! :mad::rolleyes:

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

Mine's just been put back as well, to the last Wednesday of June. I hope this isn't the start of a trend.

Kinda ironic, spend 6 months being unable to get FTTC because of an EO line and as soon as the goverment pays the cost to have the EO line converted I can't get FTTC because Openreach can't be bothered providing the capacity.

Well according to the VM area checker I'm now on 152mb just a shame my config file is still saying 120! :dozey:

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

Assuming you have restarted your SH with no joy, go to the VM site and punch in your postcode. If they have deals at 152Mb in your area that would confirm your suspicion. If your area is activated, time to call CS.

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

I've seen activated areas where they haven't yet upgraded the infrastructure. One customer reported slow speeds having just upgraded to 152 meg and when he posted his stats, he was still on 4 downstream channels. Imagine what happens in peak times with most people having been duped into upgrading for a few squids per month extra outlay.

A mate on 120mb just sent a mobile txt telling me he hasn't been upgraded yet either so they've obviously not sent the config files yet! :td:

(I'll give em til Wednesday then I'll go afew rounds with that bloody ***** Indian callcentre of there's! :erm:)

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

The 152 was always available to new customers, didn't mean an area had been upgraded for existing ones.

---------- Post added at 11:23 ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 ----------

Someone messed up some configuration there. There should have been no areas on any less than 6 downstreams when the previous uplift was done, let alone the 152Mb one.

Re: 200Mbit coming soon? (According to a survey)
 

I hadn't forgotten! I was one of those who rang up CS complaining that a guy up my street could get 152Mb cheaper than I could get 120Mb just because he was a new customer. After being pushed from pillar to post, ( onshore call centres ), they sent me the new config straight away. :mad: That's why I'm recommending that guys above should ring CS.

Fingers crossed calling in will get people precisely nowhere in the next round of tier uplifts, that caused a few problems.
