So much for the extra speed! The way NTL is performing, you may as well be on dial-up!

Re: 4 MB me

Will this 2mb to 4mb be for everyone? And is it a free upgrade? (E.g I don't have to pay any more and they'll magically upgrade it without me doing anything)

Re: 4 MB me

I'll have to wait, as I have a 120 modem; still, as long as the upgrade works...

So this is why the NTL site states that I am now on the 4Mb service, but still can only download at 2Mb?

put simply - yes

nationally the billing system doesn't admit to a 2 meg tier, anymore, but locally we wait for the techs to tweak the hardware

If you have 100, 120 ntl modem and are in cardiff or belfast around that area. Then yes.
