*yawn*
I really wish some staff would learn the meaning of the words 'I don't know' rather than making stuff up.

The last time I checked, not many people are very patient, or quiet about public transport either :P

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
Got a letter from NTL this morning stating that they will be contacting me in the next couple of months to arrange a date to exchange my STB.
The letter says that in order to get the new 1.5mb service a new STB is required and this is going to be exchanged free of charge 
There's also a picture of the new box, although i cant tell what make etc it is, but its nice and shiny silver
Im in a ex-cable and wireless area, so it looks like the current pace STB box that I have isnt capable of the new speed increase.
CAnt wait for the new box to arrive.

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds Late Summer 2004
Yup - I understand there are some swap outs going on. Not that the Pace can't do 1.5Mb, the one on my desk does and believe me it's damn quick (176Kbytes/s sustained). However, I don't watch TV on it since someone nicked my TV so I can't say if it affects that, or interactive, or makes the box play Cliff Richard records or some other ghastly side-effect.

I got that letter too this morning, the only problem is I already have a shiny new Samsung box that I got when I joined earlier this year...
