Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Still no 750k upgrade for me in Teesside. :(
It's particularly annoying because a few months ago my BB charges went up from 19.99 to 24.99 (I used to get the cable modem owners discount) so the extra speed would be some sort of compensation. :bigcry: |
Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
flubflow why did they raize your charges did you have to get a new modem

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Just spoke to a very helpful guy (Hadrian - thank you!) in TS who took my modem off the system and put it back on again to force a config update and now I have 750K - hurray.
He also told me that all SACM users should be upgraded by now so if you're not try calling TS. |
Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Still no speed-upgrade here (Worsley / Manchester ) .. Have had the Samsung for two weeks or so now and presumed 1st Oct would result in the 1.5 upgrade.. When is it going to happen .. sheesh ..

They suddenly decided, presumably for reasons of greed, that the people who own their own cable modem no longer deserve the £5 discount. I had not made any changes to my service. They just decided that they need the £5 more than I do. I complained, asked for my discount back, and got this unhelpful reply..... "Thank you for your recent email. I can confirm that as per the communication back in May NTL have withdrawn the discount for owned modems. NTL service and maintain all modems wether owned or rented and as such will now be charged the same. Please accept my apologies if the information was not received, and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Should you require any further information regarding your account or wish to discuss this further, please contact us on customersupport.teesside or call our Customer Management Centre on 0800 052 2000 from your ntl telephone. Yours Sincerely ***** ******* CMC Administration and Support (ntl C.O.B.I)" So, I asked them that if that was the case and I was now paying the same as everyone else then, like everyone else, I demand that I have a brand spanking new cable modem and I'll sell mine (not that there would be much market for it). I got no reply so, to cost them some money and save me some, I called them to stop some telephone line featues. I think they suck and if after I get no further when I eventually manage to get to someone higher up in NTL then the cable TV is going next year too. I might send them a monthly bill for the "hire of my cable modem". EDIT: Still no 750k speed upgrade yet either. :mad: |

however just to play devil's advocate... if something goes wrong with your cable modem would you be prepared to pay ntl £50 to send an engineer out to replace it? (which would result in you having an ntl rented modem anyway because you won't be able to provision any other modems on the ntl network and therefore not being justified in paying less than everyone else anyway) |

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Hi... Looks like I'm late to these discussions, but anyone in Brighton experienced any upgrade in their speed yet?
Here's what I got from the speed test just now: Sat, 2 Oct 2004 20:45:01 UTC 1st 128K took 1061 ms = 123536 Bytes/sec = approx 1028 kbits/sec 2nd 128K took 1042 ms = 125789 Bytes/sec = approx 1047 kbits/sec 3rd 128K took 1082 ms = 121139 Bytes/sec = approx 1008 kbits/sec 4th 128K took 1061 ms = 123536 Bytes/sec = approx 1028 kbits/sec Looks like I'm still on the 1Mb :( Then again, I'm still a bit hacked off in general - we're not even close to MMB (Multi-Mega Bit) yet. Anyone checked out the speeds in Sweden? Telia - 8Mb :disturbd: , Bostream 26Mb (for about £30/month!) :Yikes: and Bredbandsbolaget doing 100Mb (for around £38/month!!!) :bigcry: . Got links if anyone's interested... Cheers, Wilty |
