Paul, hang on mate, it could be a delay from the tftp server, or you could try manually rebooting your modem

Its good news week
SG6 area

Well its happened as advised by uni just went to http://www.ntlworld.com/data-feeds/.../tierMigration/ clicked on upgrade your modem then on upgrade to 750 or 150 what ever speed you are on, it then asks you to log in with username and password. That done I had the option to upgrade my speed to 2mb from 750 after an auto reboot I'm on 2mb

Did not see an option for the people on 300

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)

You people who are manually upgrading, you do realise that there's a new AUP don't you?

What happens if I reach my usage allowance?

Over the next 12 months, ntl will provide tools to allow customers to measure their data usage. When these tools are available, customers who approach their data allowance will be able to choose to

reduce their data usage for the remainder of the month
upgrade to a tier of service with a higher usage allowance
pay for usage above their allowance.

Until these tools are available, ntl will monitor usage but not apply the 3GB allowance, except in cases where heavy use is affecting network performance.

Now they are saying the usage is per month, not per day...

I wish they would make up their minds.

A usage allowance is the amount of data you are allowed to upload or download with your Internet connection each month. ntl's 1Mb broadband service, introduced on 8 March 2005, has a 3 gigabytes per month usage allowance. The allowance covers data sent (uploaded) to the Internet or received (downloaded) from the Internet by your cable modem.
