Hi guys just to let you know Nottingham (NG8) has got the upgrade. I was downloading this morning and saw i was getting 500kb/s!

lightning89 could you post your modem config? Someone on here could then tell you if there is a problem if your modem has accepted the update. Some modems are refusing the new config files. My dad's surfboard did this. If this is the case faults are really good at sorting this out.

I was advised that this was up to the job when I registered but it seems there can be issues with both this and the 120.

Thanks again.

Installed my Ambit 256 this morning and this is result:

Hopefully this result will be maintained

Anyway, they're sending me a new modem. Are there any particular anomalies to oook out for when setting a new modem up? And thanks to everyone for their help on this.

Well, they said it would take up to five working days, it's now the fifth day and no modem. So I rang again today, and they said that the modem would be with me by 8pm this evening. When I asked how it was being sent, he said by regular post, and when I mentioned that my next delivery was tomorrow morning, he just repeeated that I would get it by 8pm this evening. How can they do that

Hi Hansi, it may well be delivered by independent carrier,

When I received my new modem (a few months back) it was delivered, as I had been led to expect, by UPS. It was my understanding that VM use UPS for all deliveries of modems and, as might reasonably be expected, a signature is required.
I do not know, however, if UPS do deliveries at eight o'clock at night.

hansi · 29-07-2009, 20:27

Well that's what the man from Mumbai Calling said, now I've got another ten minutes to wait.

---------- Post added at 20:27 ---------- Previous post was at 19:48 ----------

Well, as expected, it didn't turn up. So, another twenty minutes of listening to mind numbing music and they have now said they will send another one within three days. Here's hoping. Can anyone from VM speed this up for me if I pm my account number please? Im not very au fait with the newsgroups. Thank you.

New 256 modem arrived today, and here are the results:

Very happy indeed.
