The system may say 4Mb but that has been updated ready for billing. They will find they are still on 2Mb. The only areas with 4Mb are Cardiff, Swansea and Belfast as they have had the config files rolled. Do not ring ntl to be upgraded as they cannot do this until the config files are rolled out in your areas.

whats most telling though considering its a so called 'free upgrade' for current paying users, is that they can update all the billing systems,advertising,employee's so quickly, but not deploy the the configs, almost half way through the month and only 3 areas activated so far........

wonder if it will vastly improve tomorrow (tuesday)?.

What part of "Customers with 2Mb Broadband accounts will automatically receive 4Mb by the end of June" do people not understand :)

......shall we give them the benefit of the doubt first? If it doesn't get done by the end of June which they say, then you can lay into them at hearts content.

I was just asking if there was any info as to which area are likely to be upgraded next.
But the Engineers post if true means that I'll be upgraded last as Im on exCWC Bromley :( .

Oh well should get it eventually just more waiting to do :p: would have been better to know roughly how long.

That comment wasn't aimed at you specifically, sorry if it seemed that way, it was meant as a reminder to those who keep asking similar questions.

If a date was specified for a particular area, someone would ask, "What time?"
