LOL!... if you say so!... not gonna go there, or someone somewhere is gonna start crying about me being off-topic again and the nasty man gonna slap my wrist and stop me posting!

...and for the record I am actually quite glad it's taken so long... have really quite enjoyed getting a rise out of some over-stressed people on this forum! ;)

God people, calm down...

If NTL said they'd give you a free upgrade in August and it happened now, you'd all be happy. They aren't even out of their time bracket and people are moaning.

On an entirely unrelated note... East London, Samsung STB has been done.

Seems like it. Their deadline was the 22nd though wasn't it? That might explain it.

When you have rebooted your modem/STB and then run the speed test up the top of the page in the dark blue line...
