I kept in mind what this forum said in past posts and kept it very light and pleasant and bugger me 20 seconds later the modem lights went off and now I am on 10mb, I will do a test and post the result if you want.
Not sure what sort of modem it is but its new and says Ntl:home 200 on the bottom.

Just tried that approach myself, I politely asked whether it would be possible to become part of the pilot scheme on the understanding that if anything goes wrong then it is my own fault, only to be refused.
The lady then started talking about the fact that my SACM is not capable of the full 10Mb, I asked her what details she had in regards to my modem (I used to be connected through a pace STB, then Samsung STB after finally settling on the 200 SACM), she replied that she only has the MAC address, not the actual model details.
No matter how polite I was she still wouldn't upgrade me, even though I stressed that I knew that if it all went belly up it would be my fault.
Was hoping to do some testing on the Runcorn UBR (and stress test my router which is quite a few years old...ready for when things really do kick off so I can buy a new one in readiness if need be.)
Ah well.
