Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
I just wondered... has anyone had an upgrade half way through the day... what I mean is, if I have 2 meg at 8am, is ir worth bouncing my modem my 5pm when I get back from work?

I would have thought it is always worth a try as it seems it can happen at any time

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
looks like Renfrew has been upgraded.
i only rebooted my modem about an hour or so ago, and the config files had been upgraded.
done a speed test but slightly higher than normal on the 2mb.

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
Well here in Manchester we have just been offline for over 4hours of zerro speed. So not sure NTL can sustain 4mb in this area without spending money my down times are always long and over the years starting to be more regular. instead of once every 4 yrs to yearly.
NTL only said their was a problem in Oldham area when I called but I was also affected so most of Ashton area would have been also.
come back online and still 2mb config file.
