CS Attempt #2: Explained previous dialogue with CS & TS and said I wasn't happy that I was getting a straight story. Knowledgeable CSA explained that roll-out wasn't complete so I might not experience a full 10MBit/s service until post December but if I was happy with that caveat that they could upgrade my connection to 10MBit/s. They also commented that letters would be going out during December to those 3MBit/s ntl customers who would need hardware upgrades to get the full 10MBit/s service and that they would be supplied with replacement Cable Modems (Blue ntl 250's).
