Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
Sounds like your modem could have gone into pre-reg state? A NTL techie was telling me about these problems yesterday - and advising me not to upgrade.
Not saying its that, but could be a possibility.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
seems like nobody can mend my problem.
Rang about 5 times, I'm not even fussed if CS don't want to upgrade me on the phone, but the message about my modem not being registered to me on the upgrade page is my concern.
After ringing 3 times, first being told its automatic, the second being told its automatic and that the error is perfectly normal (I tried telling the guy it didn't sound very normal) and the third time the nice lady said she'd do my modem there and then, and to reboot in 15mins or so and the problem with the account was missing some details. And the modem is registered to the account.
That was last night.
Still no change upgrade, but still getting the same error message about the account. I don't even mind waiting for it to be automatic, I'm quite concerned now.
Is there anyone I can PM who is able to help me as it seems nobody understands the problem.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 4)
Well I rang up CS today and had some more progress... The representative actually had a clue what I was talking about!!
She said that I can't have my STB (I have an old Pace one) upgraded until April 4th and to phone back to make an appointment around March 21st.
I asked her if I can have my speed upgraded to 1mb in the mean time and she said "It's a bit risky 'cos the boxes are only rated up to 1mbit" So I said "do you fancy risking it?" and she did.
So I went from 750K to 1Mbit, and hopefully doubling it in April

Sounds about right as I can access the pre reg site. Would going through the site again solve the problem?
