Well thanks for that.I had a result today,waited 15 mins to get through.I said to the girl,i was told to call back when i got my bill if a had info about the 10 mbps.I said to her that i have gone to www.ntlworld.com/upgrade,but it told me to call you up.She put me on hold for 30 seconds,came back and said,"you will need a new modem,and the earliest will be 3rd January afternoon"I said Ok then,that is free isn`t it, she said yes.

So it looks like i will get full speed after Christmas then.

After upgrading from 2mb to 10mb I was getting speeds of around 6.7mb. I have a Ambit 120 modem and a Belkin wireless router. I found that I could get 9.8mb using the wireless side of the router using a laptop. I have tonight formatted the main computer to see if it was a software problem and found the cause to be Zone Alarm Firewall, as soon as I deleted it I was then running at full speed.

I hope this helps some of you and apologise if this has been said before.

Okay, can someone explain this to me please? According to the NTL email I just got from NTL them selves, 1MB and 2MB go to unlimited, but it doesn't state anything about the option of being upgraded to 10MB with lower bandwidths at the same price? Has NTL ditched that idea?

Has NTL changed its idea over the upgrade of customers to the 10mb service???

I read that customers were being upgraded at no extra cost to the 10mb. I know see they are charging ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£34.99 for the higher speed. Is this for new customers??? Or does it apply across the board. And does this mean that next year (if they are still upgrading for free 'at no extra cost') that we will have one of their famous yearly letters saying the price increase????

Hope someone can answer this one.

No, currently the users that had been paying ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£37.99 (34.99 from January) have received the free upgrade to 10Mb. The 1Mb and 2Mb users will get the free upgrade later next year at different caps and prices for free, unless they want to stay on the 1Mb and 2Mb unlimited packages.

I'm currently at 23gb for this month, so what happens if you go over your limit. Do you get cut off 'til the next month?

JonathanLH · 25-12-2005, 22:18

I have read that after the config file for a Samsung STB has been downloaded, that when pressing the page up, page down, blue. it will show something like bundle.03. Mine still shows as high. Does this mean I have not got the config file yet, or does it vary from area to area what is shown. I reboot daily, but still shows the same. Maximum download is still 3mb rather than 5.

Many thanks
