10mb upgrade from hell
 

hi all,

Ill start from the begining. I was/am on 1mb, went to the NTL upgrade page, entered my details and cliked the 10mb upgrade button, the process failed! error14 call CS,

I contacted customer services, and they told me i am on 10mb, i then checked the modem config files @ 192.168.100.1 the config file is still at 1mb.

I contact customer services again and they put me through to technical support, in India, the agent created a log saying from his system he see's me as 1mb but paying for 10mb.

Great. What am I ment to do now!!! everytime i contact CS they put me through to technical support...

Paying for 10 and getting 1. Not happy bunny

Have you re-started the modem yet ? The upgrade may not take effect until you do.

Also done this several times. cloning mac address on my router to get a new IP is the easiest way I have found to get a new IP, No difference still on 1mb

stop paying your direct debit - it's amazing how fast they come and fix a problem if you withhold their cash

Update:

Still getting thrown between CS & TS. What an absoulete joke.

The config file is still showing me 1mb speeds, NTL recon its 10mb. how the hell can i prove to them its 1mb...

The TS guy in India, now is saying that it takes 2 days to upgrade to the 10mb,

what an absolute joke,

I cant recommend NTL to no one as its taken me over 4 hours and god knows how many calls just to get a simple upgrade, which is not simple.

ARHHH

Re: 10mb upgrade from hell
 

it took them around 2 mins to upgrade my speed.

Re: 10mb upgrade from hell
 

yep sounds right.. it happens instanly usualy why is it taking so long this time round!!!

Re: 10mb upgrade from hell
 

The 48 hr thing is the truth.

Re: 10mb upgrade from hell
 

I dont believe it to be honest, you will notice if you upgrade online, it is instant every time, you click continue and within 10 seconds your modem is rebooted with new speed. Delays only occur when customer services are involved, so it isnt the system that needs 48 hours.
