Being impatient doesnt make NTL CS ops give differing stories.

Being impatient doesn't make NTL incapable of rolling out products with effective communication strategies.....

NTL being crap does that.

If I had not been told on the first call that it would be done, I would not have been so impatient.

Hi there, I have it on very good authority that this is the case, you can not get 10 meg through a settop box, it has to be a stand alone modem.

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)

Being impatient is when the service is not available in my area.

What really rocks me off is that my next door neighbour is on 10mb and I cannot get it becasue Im on 3mb and he upgraded from 2mb,

So the 2mb users have prefence over the 3mb users, which cant be right!

NTL being crap does that.
I'm rapidly losing the will to live reading this thread.

What is wrong with people who are getting a whacking great big increase in speed (for free) but might have to wait for a little bit longer to get it.

Just because you aren't immediately getting the service is no excuse for toys to be thrown out of the pram. And some of the comments on this thread have been pretty disgraceful.

It is entirely possible that Ntl CSR's have the ability to upgrade customers and have been told not to until full rebalancing has taken effect. Have any of the whingers thought of that?
Would you like to be on a 10Meg config file that does nothing as the local network is congested badly?

Personally I can't believe how many of the "Ntl are rubbish", "I knew they would screw up" crowd this has brought out the woodwork.

I just remember when the 3 meg rolled out it was the same here and I was on the other side to what I am now.Patience is a virtue chances are most of you would not have known this upgrade was happening if it wasnt for this site anyway.It would have just rolled out which is all NTL say there doing anyway.Its the impatience of some that cause problems for NTL and this forum has seen it before

How are we to know when we have downloaded 10 linux DVD isos worth in a month.
It's likely not to be out until January the monitoring software. That doesn't mean people will be able to abuse the service for a month though, people going way over will no doubt be brought down.

People want the lastest and greatest mate NTL should be more then aware of this and should accomadate such things. As you say its happend once before so they should of lernt from the mistakes they made last time. Which it seems they have not.

Again it comes down to one thing - communication and the CS agents have not been given any!
