I'm sure if he knew he'd say.

I'm sure the people who do know aren't here and wouldn't say anyway

And if you do know, do the honourable thing............

upgrade to 3meg if you want to be first in line.

Just to let you guys know, just been in touch with NTL regards upgrading my 3mb to 10mb and the chap said that it is unlikely to happen until the end of next year, there trial about 750 people for a week now but it is doubtful that we would see an upgrade until mid next year, not sure if this is true but he did speak to his supervisor, I even threatened to leave NTL but this made no difference. I am in Manchester.

handyman · 18-10-2005, 12:01

I don't think 1 user threatening to leave is going to make much difference. Its in motion and ntl will be cracking on with things as best they can.

Whats the desparate need for speed?

drewbert73 · 18-10-2005, 12:05

Its not so much desperate but I am considering DSL because its cheaper and faster, I only threatened to see if that sparked the usual we dont want to lose you speech and i managed to get more info. just thought id let other people know because the general impression is that 3mb users will be upgraded by the end of this year which doesnt seem to be the case, sorry if ive upset anyone, i will keep quiet next time.

Your opinion is as important as everyone elses here, so don't keep quiet, ever!

From what I know, it will be the 3 meg users, who are paying more now, that will get the service first, then from january onwards, we'll see it rolled out slowly everywhere.

handyman · 18-10-2005, 12:22

3meg customers should get the 10mb service in december though you will be very lucky to get a csr to discuss this with you. I've been to ntl new product breifings and you get all the info but you also get a list of notes that you are allowed to tell customers which is very little.

ian@huth · 18-10-2005, 12:23

It could be the same as the last lot of broadband speed updates where customers could go online and upgrade themselves to the new speeds as soon as they were released thus avoiding the wait for the automatic speed upgrade.

mcmanic · 18-10-2005, 12:44

my letter said end of December automatically upgraded "there's nothing that you need to do", and 1st customers in the UK to be upgraded to 10mb service with usage allowance of 75gig (Brighton area).
