But aren't some people just getting confused with what is classed as Baguley and what is classed as Manchester? For example, Stockport comes under Manchester on the Virgin 'Where's my upgrade?' page...and Manchester IS flagged as 'July'. Baguley, on the other hand, is still flagged as 'TBC'. Are some people just assuming they're served from NTL Baguley servers based on their proximity to the area of Baguley? I am definitely served from Baguley (I am M14), as when I do tracerts or 'Who Is' type searches on my IP address, it actually says bagu-cache-X.server.ntli.net, which means I am served by Baguley....and unfortunately I'm very much still stuck on 4MB (I've checked the modem config page.....and yes, I have rebooted/powered down/powered up several times.)
The more I think about it, the more I suspect this is what is happening here - as much as I would like to believe Baguley is in the process of the upgrade, I am very doubtful. I mean, just how sure are the people here claiming 10MB that they are in fact fed from Baguley servers and not Manchester servers....servers we actually *know* are being updated in July?

But when you do a tracert (click 'Start' - click 'Run' - type "cmd" hit enter - type "tracert bbc.co.uk" in the DOS box and hit enter), does it actually confirm you're on baguley servers? It should say something like 'bagu-t2cam1-v126-network.virginmedia.net' on one of the lines of information. I mean know you're actually in or near Baguley, but that isn't the same as being served by Baguley.... You could be on a Manchester server - it is a complex network.
You see, there are people in this thread claiming Baguley has been upgraded because they're in Stockport and on 10MB, when Stockport is classed as a Manchester server on the 'where's my upgrade' page. Yet there are several people like myself in this thread, who *know* we're on Baguley servers, and we're definitely still on 4MB. Doing a tracert will help us get to the bottom of this discrepancy and I for one would appreciate it. Thanks.

If the folks saying they're on Baguley UBR's and getting 10MB could go to here
http://tools.virginmedia.com/ and confirm they're actually on baguley UBR's, I'd appreciate it. A lot of people with this upgrade could well be served from Manchester UBR's. As there are a lot of us in the thread that are definitely on baguley that are 4MB still. Manchester is down for July, Baguley is TBC.....I'm still not sure that this isn't UBR/location confusion.
For example, going off
http://tools.virginmedia.com/ I am classed as 'cpc3-with2-0-0-custXXX.bagu.cable.ntl.com', and the modem config after a reboot says:
Network Access : Allowed
Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 4096000
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 400000
Maximum Upstream Channel Burst : 1600
Modem Capability : Concatenation Enabled, Fragmentation Disabled, PHS Disabled
Maximum Number of CPEs : 1
This doesn't add up for me until I see information similar to what I've posted here showing that the UBR is Baguley, and the config page says 10MB. Although I hope I'm wrong, and it would be nice to be proven wrong.
