Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

Without trawling through 36 pages I'm currently an XL BB user so how does one upgrade to 30MB. Are there any addition costs involved?

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

Why would you need a tech to install it ?

I know with 50 they like to check the levels, but I've installed many modems, on all tiers and have had no techs out ..

no .. the only reason a technical/installer would go out with a 50Mb install would be to correct power levels ..


I'm not a tech or an installer ..

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

Whilst the web page was up it inferred that it was self install but if a customer was unsure a £40 install fee would be waived.

Free installation upgrade offer (usually £40): Offer ends 31st Jan 2011. Subject to network capacity. 12 month minimum contract term applies. Quickstart self-install is not available for up to 50Mb broadband. An additional £20 activation fee is payable for 50Mb Broadband. If you cancel during the minimum contract period you will incur an early disconnection fee. Available to existing TV and phone customers adding broadband size XXL (subject to status and credit checks). Customers on non-standard pricing will need to move to standard pricing to receive these offers. Downgrading services in your bundle during the minimum period will attract a charge.

No superhubs are being posted out all the time for 20meg customers.

The webpage did say if a engineer was required that the installation fee would be waived.

Re: 20 Mb/s to 30Mb/s free upgrade

Super Hubs can be installed via quickstart. However if your power levels are off then a tech would need to be booked to resolve this. This will be no different for 30mb

Wrong. Look at your own quote again. "Quickstart self-install is not available for up to 50Mb broadband." Says nothing about the Superhub. 50mb requires tech install, superhub does not. Superhub is not restricted to just 50mb, all other teirs can get it, most teirs get it free.
