[Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

[fragless]

Rebooted here, a couple of times and still 1mb, stand alone modem, anyone got the update in or around Darwen/Lanc's?

Yep, myself and my Mum are having sloooooooow problems here in Belfast....would using a proxy help? I tried a few but to no joy.....seem to have answered my own question there!

[stephen5131]

I mean, my house and Mums house, both on 700k, some speed tests say 700, but in practice it seems dodgy....we had one that said 24k....

Apart from the first few who were done as part of the trial, has anyone on 1meg thru the STB been done today??

No 1Mb STB customers have been upgraded, as part of the trial or otherwise. As has been said a couple of times, we need to swap the boxes out, apparently.

Imagine my excitement when I get my bill from NTL stating that my 600k BB is going to be come 750k some time during August (check ntlworld.co.uk it says, for more details). So I rush to my PC and before I get chance to check the website, I have an email from NTL - 600K BB to 750k during August.

I can contain my excitement no longer, so rush to the website as fast as my fingers will allow me to type. The suspense is mounting as I'm prompted for my Post Code so they can tell me exactly when this is going to be. I enter my Post Code, click the button, and.......

Your service is due to be upgraded during the month of August

Talk about "anti-climax"!
