Sorry Horace but that would not get NTL off the hook either, because that way it would seem that there were some getting double the speed of others for free and could you imagine the uproar. Especially if it is rolled out to certain areas like the roll out has been done. At first i thought of that myself but on reflection, I and a number of others would be fuming

at NTL for not giving it to ME ME ME first. as it is i am still waiting patiently for my upgrade that i am expecting before the end of the month and yes I have said before the end of the month sorry.

It seems big parts of the country has been upgraded over night. If you are stilll on 2mb it might be worth rebooting your modem.. My upgrade only took effect after a reboot.

it eventually does popup .. just have to leave it awhile, i guess its getting a hammering with everyone getting excited

Anyone been upgraded on a set top box yet? I have a Samsung so it should take the 4mb upgrade. I don't care what area you are in it would just put my mind at ease to know that the upgrades are happening to STB's.
The first areas upgraded seem to have been cable modems only

but now there are some other areas done i am a very concerned person. I know it's not the end of the month and all that but you would think "someone" with a Set Top Box would be done by now.

Can someone tell me if i have to reboot to look if i have been DONE. I am on Merseyside
