ZrByte call NTL and tell them you had the letter but heard nothing, they will arrange for a tech to come out and swap the box, thats what I did as I hadn't heard anything from them

Yeah, I think I might just do that, especially since I dont want to be paying the same price for a lower service than what everybody else is getting.

Don't worry about that m8. It seems (listening to some forum members) that no one will get their 1.5mb upgrade till we all have shiny new boxes......so you are holding things up for the rest of us

Re: 1meg STBers - Has your box been swapped yet ?
What I'm wondering is what is gonna be the cut off date - the letter said that if you didn't make an appointment when the engineer called you, you'd be downgraded to the 600 (750) service and be charged appropriately

Re: 1meg STBers - Has your box been swapped yet ?
A rather pleasant sounding female member of the NTL staff called me this evening to arrange a time for my STB to be replaced.

Re: 1meg STBers - Has your box been swapped yet ?
A guy came to our house today, no warning, swapped the Pace box for a Samsung one. It looks nice but we've had no internet since.
Spent almost 2hrs on the phone to NTL being pushed from pillar to post, one department to another, being given the wrong phone number (ended up at Greenwich Council Department for the Deaf - who were extremely annoyed because they keep getting NTL customers phoning them for broadband support).
Eventually got through to someone who said the box is dodgy and won't accept the signal. Someone will phone within the next 24 hours to arrange a convenient date to replace it. A "convenient time" would have been straight after they took away the good one and replaced it with one that doesn't work.
