If it's not then NTL have some serious problems. Take a look at this and you tell me as this is what I got when downloading from Microsoft:

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Rang NTL CS at 4pm, regarding upgrading to 10 meg from the current 2 meg I'm on now, was told that NTL officially launching the 10 meg service on 1st december.
Told to ring back on that day, and I can have it then.

Just tried this. It downloads a file and tries to flash your modem.

Did a reboot but I'm still on ntlhm120_ntl0001.cpr.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

I tried it and it asked me to login then gave me the 404....

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

How long did you have to wait for your modems to get the new config file. I spoke to CS this morning who said that he had upgraded me, but still not getting 10mb, looked at my modem config, rebooted modem serveral times but nothing.
Should it have happened very straight away, its been 10hrs, i take it that its not going to happen now :(

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Mine was upgraded before the CS rep finished the sentence telling me I was upgraded. :Yikes:

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Just read all this thread ( well over two nights ) and decided to have a look at modem status page and it looks as though i have ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr, but i am still on the 3mbit, but then again i have not asked for the upgrade, but i presume my 120 is all set to go, am i right.?

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Just hit 1.14 on Nvidia.com

But I could of sworn blind the 100's could not do 1 meg. :confused:

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

In my experience, NTL can give your modem the speed change config file WHILE YOURE ON THE PHONE!

Certainly after yesterdays CS cock up with me, this evening my modem was rebooting itself as I placed the phone down. Voila, 10mb.

Thats how quickly they can send the speed upgrade down the cable.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

We are getting closer and closer to the launch date and I have no doubts NTL are working every day to tweak the network. I don't expect to get 1.14 every day, well not all the time anyway. Now I'm on 10mbit I'm quite happy to go with the flow while they sort the issues out.

I'll be interested to see what the consistant speeds are when they officially launch the product.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Server 2003
Without the Service Pack, PCI slots appear to be limited to 5Meg, presumably XP is similar.
Incidentally, on-board NIC's don't have this limitation.

Just in case you do a clean install and wonder where your connection speed went prior to you installing the Service Packs.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

modem here has been flashed with the firmware upgrade, but no sign of any drip-drip increase in speed (Ambit 120 here, had it since getting broadband 4 years ago). I guess that the speed roll-out will happen any time now. I, for one, won't be contacting CS for the speed upgrade (tried once, got nada).
Lets see.. it's only 11 days from the 1st Dec... lets see what happens then, thats surely going to be slightly more interesting..

Ah well dude, I think you owe me a quid! Not bother how you get it to me but I'll chase you for the rest of my life until I get it ;)
