Your service is due to be upgraded during the month of October.

I am REALLY cheesed off now!!!!!

Erm mine showed november. And as previous posts showed I was rather cheesed off. Try powering off modem and back on again as when I did this the speed increase was there.

It's all a lot simpler than some people are making out. Taking rumours as facts and what people guess goes on at ntl is a good recipe for getting in a muddle.

it's nice that south manchester is used for tests!
i was one of the lucky ones who got on the original trial for stb broadband in early 2001 and got 3 months free before it officially launched

is there any reason for this area?
is it because we were first to get digitial tv first in the country with cwc...?
