Seen it a couple days ago but cant remember were. It does look very nice indeed. Looks like they have gone for the black thats all the rage at the moment like in the PS3 and Samsung HDTV's Plus many other items (Really are dust magents though). Seems to be really popular at the moment.

I want one ! :)

But you do not live in Dudley:D
Only 200 people in Dudley have it officially at the moment on trial.

But I still want one ! lol

Do you live in Dudley by any chance ? If so are you one of the choosen 200 ?

TBH unless they do some work up my end then it will be pointless even having 50MB here as there's so much trouble with 20MB. Think were oversubscribed.

Simply upgrade to 50 meg for one month, they complain about STM / crap speeds and drop back to whatever you are on now. Free modem and/or cut rate 50 meg for a while.

Then be reminded you agreed to a new 12 month contract and that it's tough luck, along with being told there's no STM and that your speeds have been proved fine by previous diagnostics :angel:

Re: Oh Its Pretty!! New 50Mb Modem
 
I have heard its a 18 month contract

cook1984 09-11-2008 23:23

Re: Oh Its Pretty!! New 50Mb Modem
 
I guess it depends if existing customers are changed to a 12 month contract. When you change between tiers they don't normally start a new contract, or at lest don't tell you they are going to anyway.

You could always just reduce your payments to the lower amount until they sort it out. My friend did that when they kept charging him £2/month for their TV guide even after he asked them to stop it several times. Eventually they called him and sorted it out. Much easier than wasting time with their phone service agents who don't seem to be able to sort anything out.
