I was told the same thing by CS. I was also told the same thing by an NTL Engineer on my street this morning.

I've booked an engineer for next week to change to a SACM from STB Connection. Hopefully I'll be alright for the 10Mb then.

Connecting through a STB is old hat now anyway. When one breaks so does the other usually. In my experience anyway.

Shame the STB's cant take it though, as I'm reluctantly changing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it is my motto and my STB has been fine, no trouble for over a year. But I want to upgrade like the rest eventually, so needs must as the devil drives ;)

I phoned and they said NO. :mad:

First of all they said it's only under test, then she checked her emails and came back saying its only available in certain areas, they need to get their stories right!
Im in basingstoke, hampshire :rolleyes:

Well customer services think I am still on 2mbit and told me it dont exist yet, then I got downgraded to 2mbit after the call because of this I am back on 2mbit.

If I try to upgrade again I get this.

You have already changed the speed of your cable modem since your last bill. We regret that becuase of the nature of cable modem billing, it will not be possible to change your level of service until your next bill has been processed. If you require further assistance please contact customer services. If you need further help, please contact our customer support (0800 052 2000).

I've just phoned 150 customer services, spoke to a great Scotish guy who said what can I do for you? I said I want an upgrade on my broadband, he said no problem hang on, he came back and said Mr Marchant you are now on 10meg. :D :D :D :D

Officially no-one should be upgrading any existing customers at the current time. There are some CSAs who hav been incorrectly upgrading speeds.

Please do not call in in the hope that someone will upgrade you, this will increase call volumes in to the centre. People can not be upgraded at the moment this is because some of the older modems out there do not support 10Mb speeds (currently), customers using these modems will be contacted to arranage a new modem (or a solution could be implemented) and others which support the speed will be upraded automatically and everyone should be done by January (all being well) https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2006/02/3.gif

The 10Mb will be available to new customers, installed with a new modem. If people are upgraded incorrectly with a modem that does not support the speed then there is the potential for them to lose the service completely, which I am sure no-one wants.

Well I think that I have eventually been upgraded. The new config file is cmreg-mota4100-bund03.cm.

Strange thing - since this was loaded a few minutes ago, docsdiag has stopped working. Anybody else using docsdiag have this issue?
