Want to check upgrade date for my sister's internet in Hertford.
Hi guys,
whats the url for the page to check when they are upgrading the local area, I moved house from Cuffley to Hertford yesterday and NTL came and fitted the 512k internet for my sister to use (I will be getting 2mbit ADSL in a week or so)
How easy is it to get the broadband changed from 512k to 1mbit? is it just a speed upgrade NTL do at their end or does a local engineer have to come out and tweak the box outside the new house?
Thanks,
|

Don't know about the speed upgrade, but, if it's a SACM, you should be able to upgrade via the ntl web site. STB's you have to phone up, but no visit requred, unless it is a PACE STB, in which case it will have to be replaced by a nice shiny new Samsung.

Never tried it (I'm on STB), but I think it's instantaneous. You may need to reboot the modem.
