I think there's other exchanges which serve that area. eg. peel hall is served by an exchange in heald green.

you will not get your upgrade until the area you are in is ready

check out this post

For what has to be done, before you get it, - browbeating poor misinformed CS associates won't get you your upgrade any sooner.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st

do you actually have to unplug your stb to get the upgrade working (whenever that will happen)?

Re: New Speeds - June 1st

From what I understand, no you shouldn't have to re-boot your modem or STB. Anyone else know for sure?

looking at your info on the left it says "wanting to change please help" i and others have posted links on how to do it. Have some balls and stick to your convictions and leave or stfu and let NTL get on with the upgrade. Honestly lets have some grown up talk on here not the babys in prams spitting out there dummies.

It's only the 3rd of the month and already we have

I am going to leave
there lame
Idiots
I want it now.
if i dont get it i am going to leave " insert date here"
I want a refund.

and the list goes on and on and on

I don't think that improves things any, to be honest, what is the point in making statements that can't be fulfilled - isn't that what NTL are being accused of doing?

Re: New Speeds - June 1st

It Would Probably have been better if NTL had said by the end on june, this roll-out should be finished. All that is needed is a claer statment from the company then everyone knows the score.

Im working on one of the biggest computer roll-outs in Scotland (not NTL related) And we have a clear plan of action as i guess they must have.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st

Why do the need to change the "profile" of the UBR?

Then you'll know that things change and other things can get delayed. This is why NTL don't publish their plan of action.
