Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Awwww... that sucks.

The engineer just installed the new STB yesterday whilst I was out and I was expecting to come home to a nice faster connection (and a TV service that didn't crash). It should have been a day of joy. Instead I come home to a broken router... :sleep:



But at least the TV feels nice and fast now. :D

I donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t know about BB Speed Upgrade, Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢m just looking forward to getting more than 400k for a sustained period on my 1mb STB connection with nothing else connected. (Bexley Area) Anyone else having problems in this area?

Have you told NTL?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I emailed Scott Gooding to ask what was going on and he replied (which was nice) and he insisted that the telephone number was correct but since I was having problems I could make the appointment by email instead, which I did.

Interestingly, when he replied he expalined why I needed the upgrade and said that my Pace STB would have to be replaced by a SACM. I was under the impression that everybody in London SE9 who had broadband had to use a STB to get broadband if they also subscribe to TV services. I was not aware that a separate SACM was an option. Is this true, or have ntl made another balls up?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Wow! 89 pages...forgive me for not reading through it all. At the risk of repeating a question, does anyone know if the Luton network is supposed to be running at the upgraded speeds yet?

I'm on 600k SACM and it's still at 600k not 750k.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

If you've got a Pace STB, It'll be replaced by a Samsung STB, not a SACM. So yup, he was wrong.

There's no such thing as 'too fast' as far as internet goes - what you can do with 1Mbit you can do 10 of at the same time with 10Mbit, or do in 1/10th the time.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hmmmmm, Most people around luton (Or on its servers, including me) were upgraded in mid august, might not have finished upgrading though, could try ringing T/S and making sure, oh, and have you tried rebooting the SACM (Edit ...) recently?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Thanks StopIt...will give it a reboot to see if that makes a difference.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I presume once you get PACE box replaced with a Samsung this doesn't mean that your going to get the 'updated' speed straight away. That being the case is there any way of finding out *when* the changes will actually take place.

I had my box replaced yesterday and am within the Manchester / Worsley area, any timeframe on the speed update?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

According to previous posts - sometime in October.:(

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

:mad: :mad:
When I looked at the postcode checker for St.Albans back in August, it stated we were due to be upgraded during September.

Checking today, it now says October, I am not impressed.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hi All,

Here in Cosham my STB was changed for a samsung some three weeks ago but I still haven't been upgraded from my original 1Mb to 1.5Mb.
Does anyone know when Cosham may be upgraded. ?

Thanks all.
Phil.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

From whats been said previously, October at the latest. :)
