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

Welll done NTL 300kbs which was around 280kbs download in now 976kbs on the 1mb connection here in Glasgow.



How easy was that, put in my user name and pass and bang it was done, fantastic and I thought 300kwas good web pages are just there with no wait.



Very happy

Very happy here Just upgraded from 300k to 1mb.

I guess they won't hammer down on the caps if I don't abuse it, because I genuinely do only game and download now and again, it's mostly surfing.

I get the following error when pressing the "upgrade to 2mb" link that is floating around:
The username (xxxx) entered is not the registered subscriber associated with this cable modem.Please go back and try again with your cable modem username and password. If you need further help, please contact our customer support (0800 052 2000).


What department do I call? I picked CM Tech Support Fault dept, or something like that.
Try the username part of your primary NTL e-mail account and it's associated password.

I'm connected to Erskine. Doesn't seem to have been done yet even after a reboot. Did you do it manually?

LOL, I agree. There's no point in posting really, speeds will be pretty similar anyway. Keep on topic people?
