Ok here goes my first post... I have been reading the site for ages and decided, today, now is the time to contribute.

I gave the 0800 number a call this morning, having tried a tier migration last night. I'm told by the chappy on the phone that most places have cable modems except this one (East Cheshire). He went on to say that the STBs from Samsung were not able to do 10Mbs and that he would send an engineer (Tuesday next week). The engineer will fit me a cable modem. I did have to fill in a new direct debit mandate - strange ! Anyway thought the above may be of intrest to someone...

A good friend (also a reader of this board), in the same area, phoned 2 minutes after me and was told that he will get a new STB, 10MBS enabled, in December.

Be good.
