Cable Forum - View Single Post - Speed Increases 1st June

I have a serious question for anyone with the know how. Some here are "laughing" at people expecting the speeds to all have been switched exactly on the 1st June. I wasn't one of those expecting that - but when I spoke about switching speeds, I wasn't warned it hadn't been done in my area either.

But I digress. If NTL have been in a position to have offered 10megs to anyone who would have wanted it in the past however many months. Then what is the big deal about switching all those over on the 1st June?

Surely if they claim they could offer every customer "up to" 10meg, then switching those over to 4meg must be as easy as tapping something in on a keyboard? I have managed in the past to change speeds with a quick phonecall.

So honestly - why the wait? And why no upgrade online like last time? It can ony be that they know the network can't handle it? And if that's the case then why offer it in the first place.
