They have said not all area's will get done at the same time, its a 'FREE' Upgrade just be patient.

They? NTL? where? Point proved, if ntl actually informed of what areas are being done and when, I wouldnt need to be so annoyed, but they havent, its so easy to hide behind that defence, but as NTL hasnt released ANY information about this upgrade, what else can I do, all that NTL needed to do is put on their status page "On 2nd august we will be upgrading the following areas, bla bla, .... " and I at least I would have known.
On a subnote, anyone get commincated to from NTL in any form before this? (As stated in the press release back in April?)

Glasgow seems to have not had it yet.

Although maybe because I have not rebooted modem yet.

Im not at home but matrix has eased my fear's, have to agree with the earlier post those who havent had the upgrade need to be given an estimated date and ntl need to inform all their customers whats going on else their could be hundreds of thousands with unrebooted modem's getting no upgrade.

Upgraded!:cool:

St Neots, Cambs. Everything working fine here.

To see if you have been upgraded, check the Cable Modem itself.

To do this:

http://192.168.100.1 User: root , Pass: root

Click "Operation Configuration"


in the box you'll see some settings, if you were on NTL's 1MB (like me) and you think you've been upgraded you should see this:

Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 1536000 bps Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 256000 bps

:D

(oops, I said STB and I ment Modem, sorry for any confussion.)

And to whoever posted the postcode tracker link thing, i get:


When is the speed upgrade happening in my area?

Your service is due to be upgraded during the month of October.

It doesn't appear to be very accurate! :/
