Relaxing is very much an odd concept to some people in here - as is the idea of 'real life'.

Why dont people stay on topic?

chrisjones · 17-06-2006, 10:19

Are you mental? This 'Topic' has 79 pages now! Is there not enough 'Topic' in the other 78 pages?

Sorry but that was just a silly comment to make.

Hi all first post

I've been on NTL 2 Mb B/B for a few years now so the free upgrade to 4 Mb was a nice surprise. I've been on NTL upgrade page and it states that I'm already switched to 4 Mb, phoned C/S in India & told, " thats correct you are on 4Mb" I think.??

So why is it that ALL the speed tests I use, off this site & others, I'm still on 2 Mb...1.9Mb to be precise.??

Anyone have any ideas????

Using a Home200 cable modem by the way.

Regards

^ its that sort of comment that sparks off stupid arguments in these threads and then you get pages full of two people with massive egos arguing over something really stupid.

Big thread discussing 4Mbps here: http://cableforum.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=46487

So if every one is going to end up with 10mb what are they going to do about people like me who have a older type stb that can't cope with any thing faster than 1mb?

Just ignore him then, baiting/flaming him amounts to bullying tactics in my eyes.

Rant over.

Fair enough... will leave him alone then... just don't see why everyone is so touchy.... I'm just a cheeky scouser from Harrogate having a laugh, that's all!

@Adcuz : congrats... looks like in general the south is getting upp'd first

Still no upgrades in PO4 area, Portsmouth.

anyone elses speeds all over place lately.

Last night I found my basic cable package had been kicked off - I could still get the movie channels, thought. Rebooting the box didn't help, so I called Customer service. He said he would do a reboot and I should 'phone back in 2 hours if nothing had happened.

Of course, it all went OK and I was back up and running. It never occured to me to check my BB speed until now. I seem to have the 4 meg service now.

Thank you NTL. Mind you I would have liked to be told that's why everything went screwy. Other than that, quite OK on the whole. Yes, I lost telly for about an hour, but I watched some DVDs instead, so no 'world in peril' stuff.

What a bunch of great guys!
