When you say "have also been upgraded" do yuo mean via that link, or automatically. And can you confirm that the aforementioned link is indeed for new and old customers alike to upgrade?

Just want some level of sanity restored to the proceedings - at least we will have a final word on it (for now )

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)

just got off the phone with many different operators (with 4 out of 5 not knowing about the increase!), the last chap told me he had now found out about the increase and had sent the new config file to my cm and told me to reboot both pc and cm... i have and update still not happened for me in Stockport area. Does it happen virtually straight away or can it take a bit of time?

I would upgrade mine from here, but I don't know my parents password and I don't think they know either

Read through the topic, if you call CS they will upgrade you. Just be persistant with them.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)

On 300k service, checked website and it only gives option to upgrade to 750k or 1.5Mb.

The postcode checker on the http://www.home.ntl.com/page/usagefaq tells me I can't even get broadband.

However, using the link https://autoreg.autoregister.net/cgi..._tiermigration it allowed me to upgrade so I am now on the 1Mb service

Did you get her name?
