No change in Chadderton tried rebooting my Samsung box a few times this evening but no change. Has anyone in the Oldham area seen an increase apart from t'engineer?

Was thinking of doing something similar, but with a virgin in white flowing robes - couldn't find one anywhere round here though!

Yeah I suppose the white flowery robes must be hard to come by

My results

1st 512K went to market
2nd 512K stayed at home
3rd 512K had roast beef
4th 512K had none

Overall Average Speed = wee wee wee all the way home.

Are you on an STB or modem? Im guessing of the people in our area that HAVE been upgraded, they are on STB's.

DNKPets · 23-06-2006, 10:32

Just thought i'd check for the sake of it. Still 2mbit in Stoke.

Still on 2MB here in Houghton Regis, near Dunstable. When they said they were "upgrading on the morning of whatever it was", I thought I would wake up to 4MB. Obviously not!!
