Wrong. Look at your own quote again. "Quickstart self-install is not available for up to 50Mb broadband." Says nothing about the Superhub. 50mb requires tech install, superhub does not. Superhub is not restricted to just 50mb, all other teirs can get it, most teirs get it free.

you look again it says Quickstart self-install is not available for up to 50Mb broadband.
30 mb is lower than 50 mb is it not

It pays to read the document, especially if you are the person quoting.

30Mb Offer: Upgrade from 20Mb to 30Mb broadband for no extra monthly fee. A one-off £30 fee applies. Manned installation may be required by a small number of customers however the £40 fee will be waived.

I did edit my post to show someone had beaten me to it.

T&C ATM don't matter as this is about the 30Mb upgrades not if 50Mb is Quickstart or not.

Either way, every modem is the same setup and provisioning wise. The only reason a tech goes out is to correct or confirm the correct levels.

An upgrade from 20 - 30 would very rarely require a tech, but I think its already been said a few times now :)

It would appear there are many not even doing that!
