Have you made sure you are not entering into a new 12 month contract?

Re: ntl sacm

Re: ntl sacm
 

Glad to hear this is all goping well for you iffy.

If you're in an ex-Cable & Wireless area and want to get paper bills rather than email notifications for the SACM charges, let me know by PM.

Is that true that the STB cant taket he 1.5 meg? if so I will need to change to a SCAM but there is no way i am going back on to another 12 month contract with them, been on BB with them for over 3 years and had the tv since NTL took over C&W (was with nynex, and C&W formerly)

Re: ntl sacm
 

One of the other threads has on here today has dispelled that myth and said the STB with the current software on board will go up to 10 Mb, so a while before it becomes a problem.

Re: ntl sacm
 

LOL i misread the title for a mo there i thought it said ntl scam!

opps oops: :dunce:

Re: ntl sacm
 

How the hell do i get a sacm, iv been reading loads of post here about STB possibly not supporting the 1.5 speed increase in the summer.

Will NTL just send out a SACM ?
or do i have to beg them.

Re: ntl sacm
 

I misread it too :confused: how naughty it was for me to think it said " scam ".
Thing is, why are they renewing the current stb's if as somebody said, the current ones can handle the 1.5 mb with no problems?
Is it after all a SCAM to get us all back to 12 month contracts?
Perhaps somebody from NTL can enlighten us on the cons of the new format?

Re: ntl sacm
 

I had to sign up for another 12 months when I changed from Set to box to Stand Alone Cable Modem.

As far as I know, it's only the Telewest customers who wont get the speed increase if they're on STB 1mb.

Re: ntl sacm
 

I am only on a month by month contract for my broadband and I was a new customer. I think it was because of my monthly spend.
