Manchester area: Oldham, Bolton, Burnley, Rochdale, Blackburn, Salford, Stockport - Complete

Baguley area: Birkenhead, Macclesfield, Runcorn, Stoke, Warrington, Brombrough, Stretford, Wilmslow, Withington - TBC


It makes perfect sense now, after actually looking at it properly
A couple of days ago I was convinced that it was a similar mistake people were making a lot in this thread. People claiming to be served from Baguley servers (which you and I are both on, I'm Withington/Fallowfield here) were saying they had just gotten the upgrade to 10MB. I was convinced that they were actually on Manchester servers and that they were getting confused. However, a few people posted proof that they were indeed on Baguley servers, and then posted the modem config page to show that they had actually got the 10MB upgrade. So we can deduce from this that Baguley servers are actually being upgraded at this moment in time, area by area (it is huge!), even though it is still saying 'TBC'.

So at least we know we're close.....and not to pay too much attention to the 'Where's My Upgrade' page.

Yet on the 'Where's My Upgrade' page, Stockport is listed as being on the Manchester servers, which we know are complete. Curious this. It says:

Manchester area - Oldham, Bolton, Burnley, Rochdale, Blackburn, Salford, Stockport - Complete

Baguley area - Birkenhead, Macclesfield, Runcorn, Stoke, Warrington, Brombrough, Stretford, Wilmslow, Withington - TBC

The info on that page must not be 100% accurate if you're in Stockport and on Baguley servers?
