That's should just lower my monthly usage allowance, but not the speed.

if you ask to go back to ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£24.99 then your speed will be lowered to 2meg.

it seems like it's like this...
if you're on 2mb and you want 3mb, if you do the thingy, you get 10mb...
if you're on 3mb, you have to find a nice kind person at CS who will oblige...
also, it seems hit and miss as to who is getting it, what modem you're using and where you are.
It also depends if you get the indian call centre too..
Either way, if you're on 3mb, unplug modem for 15 minutes and see if when you plug it back in if you get extra speed..
I've all but given up really... I'll wait until I dont' get error messages on the tier page, and they update the information on their website so people don't' have to sit and twiddle their thumbs or get antsy with CS...
We'll get our upgrade soon enough I guess... just wish there was more clarity and people knew what they were doing at NTLs end.

So we can take that you are giving out an official statment saying ntl have launched there 10 meg cable connection and its not still in trial. or am i reading what your saying wrong.

I was upgraded to 10Mb on the 8th, but as of yet can only get between 4.4Mb - 8Mb.

When will I know if my area has been upgraded (assuming that my Terayon can acually receive the full 10Mb)

Also what does UBR stand for and how do I know what my UBR is (CM20 - Cambridge - Langley)

gota say id hate to see some of this lot at xmas time, lol they must harrass santa something shocking in the runup to pressie time

real bad lack of patience, hehe

I am in belfast and I upgraded but the speed is fluxuating heavily but my modem firmware does confirm I am on 10mb.. I have noticed an increase in browsing speed but my speed tests say im on 3mb

... whats makes you think its happening on wednesday

Just tried the online tier change, but it wont accept any of the user id's and passwords we have setup on the account. Have a Terayon 210 so doubt I will get full speed anyhow. Gutted if I have to change it as the Terayon is a great modem

i think "from wednesday" because last week when the notice of major work on the network in england appeared on the server status page people started to report faster speeds were there were none before, now a week later they add a second notice listing other parts of the country including belfast.
No other reason. not that im in any hurry but it just seemed to be similar in pattern to the previous week with various parts of england. Time will tell.

I ran Dan Elwell's speed test, but have two problems:

1. cannot enter the correct speed I try to enter 1200000 / 512000 but get enter only numbers

2. It doesn't display my D/L due to time outs

kin242 · 15-11-2005, 23:28

I have enough probs keeping under 75 Gb on a 2 meg connection. I really dont need the temptation at the moment

rydwg · 16-11-2005, 01:42

seeing as 2mb get 240k downloads, shouldnt 10mb be gving out 1200k speeds as opposed to the 1000k or slightly above people are getting even with the 250 modems. maybe the network isnt upto it yet?

I forgot to say that I was previously on 3Mbit and had moaned all last week about not being able to get 10Mbit. The phone call surprised me.

It launched on November 8th, it is an official option on the ntl systems, what is not happening until December is automatic upgrades. What is so difficult to understand about this ?
