If luton get the 10mb first thats not fair, want to know why?

Because its not me.

It should be good quality sky have purchased an llu isp which doesnt restrict it to bt wholesale prices and packages.

I think this is a very good thing, before ukonline was probably not given respect by ntl as a competitor hence no reflection on cap level's set, but if sky become the new owner it will be given respect and assuming sky dont drop the cap level's their is now a fair chance ntl will raise the 75gig cap to a 3 figure number to compete better.

Couldn't agree more, having 3 major competitors in broadband can only mean good news for us. (Not saying AOL and Wanadoo arn't major competitors, just not on the same scale as BT, NTL/Telewest and BSkyB in this country)

Maybe it's because we're the only bit of Hertfordshire left to not get VOD? Karma!

So people have been upgraded?

DieDieMyDarling · 22-10-2005, 16:04

I've seen a few claims, on various forums, not sure if anyone actually has got it yet though. There's been many email problems recently, past 2-3 days, i'm finding it very difficult to connect to the email servers, so maybe things are being readied for the upgrade?
I think if it was happening, there'd be a lot more than the 'few' i've seen posting, screaming from the rooftops about their new speeds.

Maybe those testing are keeping it quiet

Ive just had Broadband installed (ntl 3meg) got an e-mail with the order,quote Systems UpgradeFrom 8.00pm Thurs 11th November - Thurs 18th November we will be making improvements to our services and systems.
During this time you will be unable to make changes to your Internet Service,

Any one think this is the 10meg upgrade ?

Dobbo · 23-10-2005, 09:52

Might just be an improvement to your area and not a speed upgrade.
But keep your fingers crossed as you never know :P

I got told off someone close to me that November the 18th was going to be when the upgrades started rolling out..

Didn`t want to say anything as this may of raised peoples hopes but it does look the case after reading that email.

This is the full e-mail,the area is ashford kent

Systems UpgradeFrom 8.00pm Thurs 11th November - Thurs 18th November we will be making improvements to our services and systems.

During this time you will be unable to make changes to your Internet Service, however existing customers will be able to send and recieve emails, surf the web and upload to your webspace. Our Internet Support centres will have limited acces to their systems during this period. Normal service will be restored on the morning of Thurs 18th November. As an alternative to calling Technical Support, why not utilise ntl's new Broadband Medic online diagnostic and repair tool, available at www.ntlworld.com/help/broadbandmedic this tool will have limited functionality during the upgrade period.

It could be the upgrade. However, that is the same message that NTL post when they are upgrading their billing systems (and they *are* gradually rolling out a new billing system, called "harmony", across the country).
