Still nothing in harrogate and im still getting repeated 'error' messages in my modem logs regarding software updates. It seems its trying to update every hour or so.

Hi here's the exact upgrade schedule. TBC just means date not yet announced but guaranteed by end september. =]

Looks like a race between us (Oxford) and the Brother in law (Wolverhampton) as to who gets done first

both still TBC

LE11 - still no upgrade

Am currently at work so cannot check the logs but I had a quick squiz at the modem page before I left the house and it still said 4meg.

Anybody know when the upgrade is happening in CV21 (Rugby?) I got the mail promising it about 6 months ago!!!

If the 10mb>20mb upgrade last year is anything to go by then the Wolvo area will be the last to get this upgrade! lol

ironic seeing as one of the first cable offices was in Dudley!

That is the problem.. Because Dudley was built so long ago the build is such that the areas covered by each Broadband Pipe are massive. (4000 homes per node). So in order to split it down to something more sensible like 1000 or less they have to put new cabinets up and put fibre in the ground etc.. So it takes alot longer to upgrade Dudley than almost anywhere else.

Long time browser,first post,oh hi all too,anyway,have been with NTL/Virgin for going on eight years,and very happy with my internet services.
Started off with dial-up,then proggressed to BB after a couple of years.
Been waiting patiently for the upgrade from 4,to 10 meg.
Have rebooted my modem a number of times over the last 24 hours or so,and no upgrade, all ideas to remedy this situation really appreciated.
I,m in Leicester,LE3 to be more precise,thanks.
BTW,i was using a router,for x-box live,and ps3 live too,but have taken the router out of the equation,and am wired via ethernet directly to the modem,thanks again.

Does anyone know if the 4mb Ntl:Business users will be receiving the 10mb upgrade?

Why would they as there is already a 10Mb tier!

And no, 10Mb users CANNOT get a free upgrade to 20Mb!!

No.. Business already upped their Tiers a little while back where they moved everyone that was on lower than 2Mb/s up to 4Mb/s and everyone that was on above 2Mb/s to 10Mb/s.. They have since brought in a 20Mb/s Tier so them's your choices!
