Re: Oh Its Pretty!! New 50Mb Modem

Seen it a couple days ago but cant remember were. It does look very nice indeed. Looks like they have gone for the black thats all the rage at the moment like in the PS3 and Samsung HDTV's Plus many other items (Really are dust magents though). Seems to be really popular at the moment.

I want one !

But I still want one ! lol

Do you live in Dudley by any chance ? If so are you one of the choosen 200 ?

TBH unless they do some work up my end then it will be pointless even having 50MB here as there's so much trouble with 20MB. Think were oversubscribed.

Re: Oh Its Pretty!! New 50Mb Modem

Simply upgrade to 50 meg for one month, they complain about STM / crap speeds and drop back to whatever you are on now. Free modem and/or cut rate 50 meg for a while.

Then be reminded you agreed to a new 12 month contract and that it's tough luck, along with being told there's no STM and that your speeds have been proved fine by previous diagnostics
