patience is not one of my strong points i just think its stupid im paying the same price as people whos internet is 3 times faster than mine.

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

That's not the point. As consumers, if we can get 10 chocolates for the price of 1 chocolate, we're going to want the 10.

But all the same, I get the same message - I'm tempted to ring CS, but being only on 1Mbps, I'm not sure they'd want to help. :erm:

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

Its ok as I am on a samsung STB and wont be getting it! They haven't released it for STB's yet I just been told :rolleyes:

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

[QUOTE=stairpotato]No the only reason why they would not get involved was because it was advertised on NTL's own website and not where Joe Public can see it, IE I had to use my user details to get to the upgrade screen.

Because NTL are displaying 2 service structures on their upgrade page then that is an advertisement, if by clicking the upgrade button and you automatically got upgraded to the next level of service without seeing the details of the service provided than that would not be an advertisement.

Simply put anything you can read than describes a product or service is an advertisement irrespective if it is in the general domain or in an area that you need to log into.

Not sure what STB's (if any) can actually handle 10M.

Hi all :)

Just been upgraded from 3mb to 10mb (SACM).

Did the following:

Rang 0800 052 2000
Option 2

CS: How can i help sir?
Me: I would like to upgrade my connection please.
CS: 2 seconds sir, let me check your account.

**a few seconds later

CS: The upgrade won't take place until December.
Me: I was told that 3mb customers would be upgraded first and it seems that 2mb and 1mb users are getting upgraded.
CS: 2 seconds sir.

**a few seconds later

CS: Hello sir, that will be done for you now.
Me: Many thanks!


Couple of reboots later and it's done.

Just downloaded a trial 50mb file in 46 seconds.... WHHHOOOOOSHHH!!!! :D

Was downloading at 1.12mb/s :p:

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

do all people on the 3 meg get the same message i do when trying to upgrade through website?

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

Surely the Samsungs wouldn't have been brought in if they couldn't handle it? :disturbd:

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

Well then thats me stuffed as they wont give me a SACM....guess its time to move on methinks as I wont pay £37.99 for 3meg when for the same price i can get 10meg, and I thought Samsungs could handle the speed?

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

No. I get that and I'm on 1Mbps - it's just the SACMs being daft.

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

15 minute queue

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
 

I've called them from 3 different phones in stages, so if the first CS rep says no I have another 2 tries already in the queue :)
