Repost:

We have one of the original Business Essentials Cable modems, currently on 1.5 Meg speed. No sign of any upgrade in speeds here in Shepshed for that modem and no mechansim I know of, such as a web page, to upgrade.

Phoned Business customer support and they know nothing about a plan to upgrade Business Cable modems, he seemed to think the increase from 1 to 1.5 MB was news!

Anybody know if and when business cables modems will get the speed increase, please?

What's your point? Surely you're not suggesting that the internet is a necessity?

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

That wasn't appropriate now was it?

OT: No, the phrase came from me robbing the bloke of biscuits before you arrived :D

[edit: cool! just realised I got a rep for http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...postcount=1068 :D]
OnTopic: I'm happy with the upgade and say :clap: Thank You NTL! :clap:

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

i guess that means i should not use my d-link adsl modem too because that supports speeds of upto 8mbps??

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Why don't we call it evens? :p:

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

ok :)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

How on Earth did you get that from what i said? I said NTL should not use equipment that can't handle speeds that they currently offer, will offer or could potentially offer in the future. I don't know how you came with the answer you gave me?

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

My heart goes out to Orangebird, Debsy and all the other NTL reps on here that have to put up with so much abuse.

C'mon guys. Get a grip or at least get a life!

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Well the equipment they used supported up to 1.5MB, so why do you think they are upgrading the equipment now? :)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

I just phoned up and said
"hi i have been trying to upgrade my speed on the internet and it told me to phone you"
she said "no problem"

i said "i have 1.5 mbps and want 3 mbit,i already have a samsung"

she said "thats great we wont have to upgrade you then"

then she went on for a while saying that she is nearly getting tangled up in her headset wire,spoke to her for a while what a nice friendly person.

she said about the 1 gig a day but said as long as you dont take the micky.I thought i was going to be there all day chatting :D

How long will the update take?

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Speeds of 10 or 20 meg may be in the future - but if the manufacturers don't make the right stb for that speed, or the cost is too much, what do ntl do then? All they can do is pass the cost onto the customer. Which I don't beleive would go down too well.... :erm:

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
 

Should only take a few seconds to a few minutes at max.
