I believe so, some fella in .... Nottingham is it?

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Yep, i think that was right :)

Now we're gonna have half of Nottingham posting saying that they havn't got it yet :LOL:

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I nearly had a heart attack there! I started a download of Ubuntu and got a start speed of 460kb/s which stayed for a while but dropped off to my normal 2 meg :(

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I had that kind of thing on my 4Mb TW line, started at 1260kbps.. stayed there for about 35 seconds then dropped to 480ish. Liking it :) Shame i'm not a 10Mb'er though :p

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I wonder if its a side affect of something, I've had short stints of speed before but nothing that high.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I wonder which 'lucky' area will end up being last in line for the upgrade ... probably the least likely area - you watch :-P

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

I have a serious question - I mean honestly, I do. If anyone here at anytime could have clicked on the upgrade to 10meg option on NTL's site. Why does a roll out of less than half that speed need to be done region by region?

I am not being sarcastic - it's a genuine question. There must be a reason, but I can't fathom it.

Wherever you live will be the last...

Because not everyone will click it all at the same time. However the upgrades are being given to every customer, whether they need it/wanted it or not.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Well yeah I took that as a given. I kind of meant that potentially the system must be capable of having everyone upgrade if they had wanted. And so having to do a slow roll out to ensure it all worked seemed at odds with that. But I'm no tech head - and was just curious.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Im guessing since its a 'freebie' it will be done as cheaply and reasourse frienfly as possible.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

While I'm on a roll asking questions in a "polite manner" :) - howcome you can't change speeds more than once a month? Is it merely a billing issue? I know this is veering off-topic somewhat. But if someone knows, I'd appreciate an answer. Thanks.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Could this be what we're all waiting for?

Hopefully..

Don't hold your breath, thats general network maintenance

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

Can I just make a suggestion to NTL with regards the roll-out order for the upgrades:

Start with the areas which still do not have VoD ! ;)

We do deserve some reward for our patience ! :angel:

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
 

i hope all these areas, have better fun than i have had in the last week....
