Hmm - Does anyone know when the Bury / Radcliffe part of Manchester is being upgraded?

I know it says July on the VM chart - but if people in Bolton and Stockport have been done, surley Bury and Radcliffe are close?

Have you rebooted your modem yet? And no noone knows any firm dates.

If you're still awaiting your upgrade, then please reboot your cable modem. This should fix the problem, alternatively dial 151.

Yes, after rebooting my Modem (thanks eth01), I just noticed I am getting 10MB (even though my area says TBC). Birds are singing, the sun is shining, everything is good in life now that I'm getting 10MB (and the full 10MB too). :)

Apologies to the Gods of broadband for thinking that Grimsby would be last to be upgraded. Now all we need is sunshine year round and I'll be happy. :)

Welcome to Cable Forum.

Sometimes i think you have to wait for it to settle down for a day or two but someone might be able to help you more.

You should be going a lot faster than that. Everyone else seems to be reporting 9MB plus.

Aye, but I can dream. :) And when we get our 2 day's worth of sunshine a year, even Grimsby seems like a nice place to be... And, love the lyrics of that song Kevin T - who knew there was a song about Grimsby :D
