No upgrade yet in Bolton on my ntl 200 modem.I have powered down every day this week shucks and no luck yet.
I have got a very patient attitude with ntl and All good things will come to those who wait (methinks)

If everyone thought like that we'd all still be using 9600 baud modems. If the Internet existed at all.

I'm not saying we should stand still. I have no problem with being OFFERED higher speeds, I can then take them as and when I need them.
However, this one is being forced on me. I presently don't need it at this time, and there's a fair chance it's going to make my connection unstable and unreliable. I'd rather not bother.

Still nothing in Dunstable as of 14:28hrs. The only difference that I can see is that Dunstable has disappeared off of the planned upgrade schedule!

Remember all to reboot your Modem/STB periodically

During a re-boot must the ethernet cable be removed from your PC?

No Chris, simply turning the power off and on should do it

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
I can't tell ya if HG3 is upgraded yet, as I am still at work... be sure I will post as soon as I get home though, either to say we have been upgraded, we have not (in which case I will moan a lot!), or I might post some random nonsense to get a rise out of some people and brighten up my day
