YES! Upgraded finally here in SG4 as well. Got done at 2am yesterday and auto-rebooted apparently, cable modem's been up for 22 hours according to Docsdiag and on the new 750000bps :)

Very pleased, cheers for finally getting round to us, NTL.

EXCELENT !
just been upgraded, various speed tests put me at about 720/730 Kb/s. which isnt to bad at all. i just re-booted the modem this afternoon and it had been done. My dad thinks that 300K is fast enough though so he gonna put us down to that (from 750) to save money :( £7 fuxing a month, not worth it IMO. im gonna try talk him out of it ;).

thanks to NTL for making this happen so quickly, and so far, very smoothly.

Anyone from NTL in the North West (BillC?) care to comment please?
Pm on its way :)

no letter at all saying we were getting extra speed.

We had the pace box originally for the broadband, then we got a modem installed and ntl proceeded to rape our bank for £65 without ANY warning (even by the main email account for the sacm internet setup!), so we phoned them up and explained we were not pleased that they took the money in that way. NTL then said they would not change the billing for the modem (which had to go on a 2nd account btw... why? well, im not sure... same name, address and everything) so we could pay it in a paypoint or with a payment card or something as they couldnt do that with new accounts (im sure that was utter BS tbh)

So we got the eng out to take the modem out (who actually took the modem but left the power plug and coax cable in place all plugged in (nice and safe tbh init?), looked at the router, grunted and left. I came home from work and set it all back up myself (understandable I assume... routers arent supported i guess would be the reason).

So... back on pace box but wanting a samsung box for our extra speed which had the visiting eng contemplated it, he could have saved a job of re-visiting and installing ANOTHER box which we're gonna phone them for tomorrow.

so err yeah... thanks ntl :/
Pm on its way

Still not on 750k but postcode checker says I should be :( Its a SACM and Ive tried rebooting same prob.

Edit: Having said that Robin Walkers test gave me the following


Quote:
1st 128K took 1687 ms = 77695 Bytes/sec = approx 646 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1563 ms = 83859 Bytes/sec = approx 698 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1640 ms = 79922 Bytes/sec = approx 665 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1640 ms = 79922 Bytes/sec = approx 665 kbits/sec
But Dan Elwell's test says its downloading at 580k
And CNET bandwidth meter says 580k also

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 
ok, i just checked the Status page http://www.ntlworld.com/data-feeds/e...osites/upgrade and it tells me my area is upgraded?

does this Only mean the New boxes have been installed but not the Speed upgrade?
