Re: New Speeds - June 1st

Even if the ppl on 2Mb got just the 400kb upload that would be great for games but as everyone else is offering upto 8Mb services this update is the only thing keeping me on ntl.

All we can do is sit and wait and report when we get the upgrade. NTL did say June 2006 for this upgrade, didn't they? Wonder who got the upgrade today?

Re: New Speeds - June 1st

Well, I am in the Birkenhead Merseyside area and still no joy after all this waiting I don't want to sound like a sad old moaner but i'll probably be the last on the NTL schedule for upgrades( hope and admin from NTL is reading this). I understand it all takes time and next time they upgrade wouldn't it be nice if they said nowt and we all just got a surprise one morning. Anyway not worried about the upgrade just yet, it is, after all only first thing in the morning and CS are prob still in bed dreading all the calls from irate customers saying He's got it up the road and i aint 'Why not'. Remember it is a free upgrade and so was the one to get us to 2mb as was the one from way back when it was 600kb i think to 750kb. I think the price has stayed the same £24.99 since i joined NTL with 128kb and that was lightning then.

Keep it up NTL you have my vote and thanks for the freebies along the way.

I think NTL could save themselves a lot of unnecessary enquiries if they published a rough rollout timetable and gave updates so that customers could see how the rollout was going.

In that way customers could see that it was not worth enquiring until after a certain date had passed and they were not getting the service provided by the rollout.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st

Just a question, I get my BB through a Samsung set top box, will I have to unplug it and restart all day to see if i have got the upgrade. I could be sitting here getting frustrated at the end of the month and it is there waiting to zoom me into orbit.

I never know what to do for the best. or can someone refresh my memory about how to get the bios up on the tv screen and tell me what bund... i should be lookin for.
