What's not to be happy about? :confused:

You haven't got a free upgrade on the day that you weren't promised it would happen on anyway? :shrug:

Given the debacle of the last upgrade, I'm impressed with this one (mind you I've been upgraded :D )

It was quick and easy and even arrived before I was expecting it, this MUST be a first for NTL ;)

Congrats to all involved.

I have upgraded today from 750kbps to 2048kbps but I haven't noticed an improvement in my surfing experience. Should I be able to get compensation from NTL?









:p

Well the update was supposed to have been sent to me at around 2ish this afto and still nothing. So I ring up tech support and get through to the indian call centre.

The bloke doesnt have a clue whats he talking about. Apparantly its because I need to delete the cookies and history. That will get my up to my requested 2mb speed. :erm: And he was adament on that too.

Oh and by the way, he also wondered why I wanted to be upgraded to 2mb when on his records I'm using a 55mb connection. No joke. :rolleyes:

I asked to be transferred and he wouldnt saying there was no1 else available to take my call.

Fair enough, I still havent been upgraded but theres still plenty of time. I would at least like the decency to talk to someone who knows what I am and they are on about. I have never got so irate talking to CS. It was a joke.

Ok lads new question and glad most are on the new speed.



I was on 300K and I have a cable modem Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m happy with 1Mb just now but will I have problems with this modem if I jump to 2mb?



Will that nice upgrade thing on NTl check my modem again?

All SACMs can handle the current speeds of up to 3Mb :) and way above them.

sav112,

If you have a stand alone modem (not a STB) then you'll have no problems with any of the currently available speeds. If you have an STB you need to call and ask for a samsung.
