Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
If you read on the status page of ntlworld, there are currently lots of upgrades and maintence going on. Could this be related? Some of the upgrades are to the billing systems. Could this be to enable VOD in areas which don't have it yet? You need to sort the billing systems out first, otherwise customers can't buy anything., unless they are going to give us VOD for free!

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
The "billing system" upgrades are unrelated. NTL is currently migrating a dozen or so legacy billing systems, inherited from the companies they too over, into one new "Harmony" system. It is possible that Harmony is required to bill VOD correctly, but VOD certainly isn't the driver for Harmony upgrades.

Two ways to check:
1. If BBC1 is on channel 1 on your STB, then you are in Bromley. If it is on channel 101 then it is Langley.
2. You could use this: http://www.dslzoneuk.net/ntl_region.php

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
How long is this software going to take to roll out across Bromley?
And then how long afterwards is VOD going to take to roll out after that?

Re: Bromley upgrade starting....
1) Quite a while.
2) A lot longer than that.
