The is alink somewhere in this thread to another forums site, cant find it now but it has a statement from NTL regarding the whoe shooting match.
Explaining why there was confusion over 10Mb roll out. Something to do with Glasgow only to start with but word got out and people from all ove rthe country were asking to be upgraded.

WIth regard to equipment AFAIK all modems will 'work' with the 10Mb service.
SB3100 will only achive a max of 5Mb
SB4100 should get 'close' to 10Mb.
All others should be fine for 10Mb.

This was all from the ntl post..

My reckoning of why people are only getting 4-6Mb speeds is that the network isnt fully upgraded in thier area, this would be why ntl are no longer giving out the 10Mb upgrade on request. That's my guess anyway.

TBH I am happy with 5Mb its the 512 uploads that are the big improvement. More people on my CS:S server now ;-)
