*yawn*

I really wish some staff would learn the meaning of the words 'I don't know' rather than making stuff up. :dozey:

Dammit, go ruin the fun why dont you. :sleep:

I wish NTL will make their mind up tho, its cheesing me off. :td:

How much will 1.5mbit be for Cable TV and Phone paying ntl: customers? £35?

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

I wish everyone would just wait quietly.Like public transport it will come when it comes.

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

The last time I checked, not many people are very patient, or quiet about public transport either :P

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

Got a letter from NTL this morning stating that they will be contacting me in the next couple of months to arrange a date to exchange my STB.

The letter says that in order to get the new 1.5mb service a new STB is required and this is going to be exchanged free of charge :)

There's also a picture of the new box, although i cant tell what make etc it is, but its nice and shiny silver :)

Im in a ex-cable and wireless area, so it looks like the current pace STB box that I have isnt capable of the new speed increase.

CAnt wait for the new box to arrive.

Sounds like the Samsung box :tu:

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

Yup - I understand there are some swap outs going on. Not that the Pace can't do 1.5Mb, the one on my desk does and believe me it's damn quick (176Kbytes/s sustained). However, I don't watch TV on it since someone nicked my TV so I can't say if it affects that, or interactive, or makes the box play Cliff Richard records or some other ghastly side-effect.

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

BBKing you have 1.5mbit already?

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

I got that letter too this morning, the only problem is I already have a shiny new Samsung box that I got when I joined earlier this year...

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

the same as the current 1mb price - £38

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

All very well incognitas, but by the time it comes it will be out of date :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

What he said ^

1408k connection??

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
 

Damn, thats expensive, maybe I'll get 2mbit ADSL...

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
