I have a modem... seemed the only way to get reliable broadband as I had no end of trouble with STB's (Pace and Samsung).... I feel I must apologise in advance though, if I had a STB then all the modems users would be first... sod's law, and I AM SOD!

Since there are two people I know in both HG1 and HG3 that have recieved upgrades, they must have been on STB's - lets hope us Modem users are next on the list today or 2moro.

I checked just before I came to work and still on 2meg

Based upon my own experience, NTL tend to upgrade STB users last.

Many apologies for laziness - not followed thread, just kept nipping in to see what was what.
Released IP this morning and rebooted Samsung STB. Now got:

I'm on (or was on) 2mb silver tier.

1st 512K took 1094 ms = 468 KB/sec, approx 3856 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1078 ms = 475 KB/sec, approx 3914 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1078 ms = 475 KB/sec, approx 3914 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps
4th 512K took 1094 ms = 468 KB/sec, approx 3856 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3885 Kbps, 3.8 Mbps
Happy to have been upgraded in OL4 (Oldham).
Up and down speeds great and consistent.

That's all.

No, you don't have to do it. I just did it as added measure, so shut up.

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
Does anybody know why STB users have been upgraded first this time? Every upgrade i've been part of they've been last. STB were upped to 4mbit last week in Stoke while the modem users are being made to wait. Wouldn't it make sense to upgrade STB and Modems in one area at a time? Instead of seperately

Maybe there are less users connected via STB's - gives NTL chance to bring the changes into effect slowly maybe?
