Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

May have been last year for some people, but I can assure you its only just upgraded for me. I know when it happened as well because my set top box turned the connection off and I had to reboot it :)

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

tbh it is very dought full you have just been upgraded might have been that you havnt rebooted sins the upgrade was done in your area.
But there has been nothing done in the last month in respects to upgrades

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

Will you not LISTEN Diadem. Not everyone in britain was upgraded before 2006. Geez man.

A couple of people have said this and you've just totally disregarded them, and ME.:mad: Mr Bloomin' think he knows it all

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

Rubbish. I'm well aware of my download speeds as I use P2P alot, I can promise you it only just happened in the last week.

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

only reason im says this is becouse i know the last of the ubrs to be done was in march, i have just double checked this. i wouldnt say it if it wasnt true.... and i know becouse i have a job with them.

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

Now your saying March :erm:

Hmmmmmm????

Make up your mind. Anything before the 1st of January is last year and anything after is opposite.:dunce::p::dozey:;)

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

my ubr was suppose to be upgraded and the line but i dont know if it has im in north london and currently theres loads of ubr upgrades and high utilisation is of the charts can anyone tell me if ubr's near me have been upgraded.and isit worth me switchin to ntl to gt the 200kb upload more from my current 384kb upload, reason for this being i play alote of xbox live and need upload.

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

Perhaps they meant the last tax year, in which case March is last year ;)

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

You can't switch from BY to ntl packages at the moment as they still aren't unified.

Xbox Live is fine with 384kbps unless you're hosting. If it sucks playing at the moment it's a symptom of the high utilisation.

The upgrade strategies for ntl and Telewest have been quite different, and it may surprise to know that ntl have adopted the more expensive and forward thinking strategy.

Telewest have been wringing as much as possible out of as little expensive as possible by maximising efficiency on their network, while ntl have dipped into the wallet and been laying new fibre and splitting nodes.

For the geeks Telewest have been installing second downstreams in areas on the channel above the existing one to relieve downstream congestion and employing 16QAM upstreams to relieve upstream congestion. ntl have been employing (belated) 256QAM downstream upgrades which were done on Telewest a while ago, but they've also been doing extensive resegmentation, both removing nodal combining and a lot of new fibre and full node builds.

Pushing fibre deeper in the network is something that has to be done sooner or later, Telewest were doing their level best to avoid doing it due to lack of cash while ntl had the budget, bit the bullet, and got the fibre into the ground.

Re: Telewest/Blueyonder Speed Upgrades- Have you been upgraded yet???
 

so am i better off switchin to ntl even though its not much of a difference except the 512kb upload instead of 384kb?. because telewest are really started to p me off with there tech support i know everything they will tell me to do its very annoying.
