That isn't the bandwidth that's used on your cable modem really. He's talking more about that raw bandwidth available to your home, which includes all the bandwidth getting soaked up by digital and analogue TV. Without changes bandwidth freed up by switching off the analogue services is not available to cable modems.

Saw a couple of people in Derby had been upgraded so I rushed to the modem to reboot!

Guess what! Still 2mb!

Whereabouts are the Derby folk who have been upgraded? Spondon (which is ex-cw I think) here....

All of Derby is Ex-C&W. The upgrade is done on individual routers on the ntl side and there are a few feeding each area.

Lucky you

I'm waiting for my upgrade here in inner city Leeds. It's all graffiti, youth gangs, boarded-up houses and pot-holed tarmac roads

Had to call NTL about another issue and at the same time asked when Oxford was going to be upgraded. He looked at my account and told me I was already on 4Mb and it was active as of today. Still on 2Mb though even after a reboot

Please read people! You are on the 4MBit Tier but it still may not have gone through you area! Have patience! It is... after all, a FREE upgrade
