That makes two of us, however remember who we are talking about I would have rather customers be given the choice which they wanted. O well!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

yeah I agree customer's should have the choice but cable modems are a lot smaller then a STB and gives superior performance but if you have the pc near the tv and like a all in one box for tv and the net then fair enough.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

If anyone is interested, our business cable modem (Samsung 140) was upgraded last night and is now flying at 1.5 MBits/sec.

Still stuck on 1mb with my SACM. After the outage last night I thought for sure that my connection would be upgraded.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

It's hard to deduce from the full article, it's either all areas or Charminster, Grantham, Grimsby, Stafford, Shepshed, Swindon and Whitchurch areas. The site lists several things happening on this day, but it doesnt say if the other faults will be for the areas listed or for everyone.
