Err, i think it was this bit here....


Sorry,you weren't actually calling me a liar - you were implying what I said was lies. You should be a politician, or work for NTL. Oh wait, you do :D

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Enough of this please. Kneebs have you asked BBKing if you can publicly display his PM to you?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Well i will ask more questions tomorrow and keep asking till i get a someone to answer.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

And it looks like i was red repped :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

No, he isn't around to ask. I did say I normally wouldnt post details from PMs / emails, however in this case, it was warranted.

Its not like he's asked me to keep quiet or anything, however edit my post if you feel the need.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Not by me you weren't. I did feel like red repping you however, but I didn't. Now thats the end of it from me..

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

It's never warranted to post contents of PM's on the site, by all means name your source (if your source doesn't mind it) but not post all the contents without express permission from the author of the PM.

Anyway lets not drift off-topic here...

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

No it was not you :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Just had a look at your account Bill and its been left by someone who is unable to give or take rep points just yet, so it should be showing as grey and its not a red rep as such.

Anyway lets not drift off-topic here... :notopic: :cool:

You learn something new everyday:)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Lets hope his bosses feel its warranted also he could be in trouble. I certainly don't want to be around when BBK sees this.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Unless PM means Public Message instead of Private Message, then no. Don't expect any more help from this quarter if you carry on in this cavalier manner. Luckily my boss is quite forgiving.

As it happens, my information came from a chance conversation with the same gentleman Kneebs has been talking to, so that's circular intelligence backing itself up - in fact I suggested he talk to Bill C whose opinion I trust. Still want to see some more evidence, but I have perfect licence to stop helping in my spare time if people bruit my private conversations about and devote my attention to what I mainly get paid to do.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

If you want a chat tomorrow feel free you know my number :). :p:

Looks like NTL are going to wait until the 31st August before they update my SACM 600K to 750K.... Does anyone know if it is to do with me having bought my SACM and then getting a discounted rate for my service...??
