Can anybody give me any info re UBR upgrades ? I have had lots of slow speeds over the past month or so (since the 4 - 10 Mb upgrades), have had an engineer out (who incidently lives a couple of streets away and is having the same problems) who checked everything out and made a phone call and said the problem was down to over utilization and that ubr upgrades will be carried out for this area (cpc3-birk2-0-0-cust***.bagu.cable.ntl.com) on 21 Oct and that things would improve then. I have checked the Virgin site but the only UBR upgrades appear to be for Liverpool etc. I'm on the 20Mb but sometimes struggle to reach 2Mb at other times I get 17-18Mb, in fact I've had my upload speed greater than my download speed on several occasions, upload is never less than 550Kb. What I would like to know is if these UBR upgrades are going to happen anytime soon?
