Yeah, but I'm going home at 5, so I'll take over the "evening shift" if you like LOL!

Quite surprised, has been a good hour or so since anyone's said "it's a free upgrade, stop moaning", or "get back on topic"

That's quite strange as i can login with either FF or IE. Maybe try deleting cookies and temp files?

Probably down to your exceptions.

add the ip to IE's exceptions list and see if that works

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 06:17:54 GMT

1st 512K took 1093 ms = 468.4 KB/sec, approx 3860 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1094 ms = 468 KB/sec, approx 3856 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1078 ms = 475 KB/sec, approx 3914 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps
4th 512K took 1297 ms = 394.8 KB/sec, approx 3253 Kbps, 3.18 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3721 Kbps, 3.64 Mbps

Keep checking the maintenance logs for upgrades. We had about a week's work done before the new speed arrived.
youve had it for a full week, is that an STB?, lots of mates around here wythenshawe's BH,NG,WHP,PH etc are on NTL250's and havent had the upgrade yet, theres a possibility it may be booked for tomorrow looking at the latest posting
"
On the morning of Thursday the 22nd of June Between midnight and 6AM ,

Network upgrades will result in a loss of service in Seven kings, Folkstone, Baguley, Hemel Hempstead, Lichfield, Northampton, Leicester, Dunstable, Andover, Shettleston, Eastwood, Action, Peterborough, Swindon and the surrounding areas."
but that could just as well be normal non CM config work.

if your on a wythenshawe STB, it still seems odd that after a full week the wythenshawe NTL CM's havent also had their config's updated, still 1 major and 2 minor days left though so perhaps tomorrow.

Still 2Meg in CAMBRIDGE. Unless that's because i have the NTL Home: 100 modem...

Surprising really, as I see Peteboghorror has been upgraded, and that's just down the road.
