Re: New Speeds - June 1st
Hi, first post here. I have a quick question about the 4mb service that is due to happen at some point and am worried that my modem might not be able to cope. It's one of the original Motorla Surfboard modems that we had when we first got broadband. CS don't know if it can handle the new speed and I don't want to get an engineer out for nothing and be charged for it.

Thanks

Sweet, only problem is if I try to access the modem using 192.168.100.1 (I think that's it), there is nowhere to put in a username and password so can't check the operational configeration page.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
I just get a motorola surboard page which shows some details on the modem, there is a page you can change values on but that's it. I can't double check at the minute as I'm work till 5 now.

Oh and I get that a lot

LOL - he beat you by miles!!!!!

I wasnt 100% sure about the router business. I know that NAT Routers only expose one IP address to the big bad world so I guess that should follow for physical addresses too. Bit of a schoolboy error !!!

Or it could just be because they know they've the whole of June to do it, and want to adopt a methodical staggered approach to it all

There are a fair few uBRs to 'do'. and a fair few cards inside those uBRs. You're talking upwards of 2000 CMTS cards. Perhaps a little bit less grief towards the people who'll be doing the uplift would be in order. I know those chaps work bloody hard.
