Can I demand a Samsung box from NTL? or do I just have to stick with what they give me.
My Pace suffered from bad slow down to the point of lock up, buttons not responding if I was doing alot of P2P on the 1Mb connection.

I'm guessing that 1Mb on a DiTV 1000 was pushing its capabilities. If you ask for another, I'm not sure if you can specifically ask for a Samsung ?

The Samsung has no problems now when I'm downloading on P2P
