well downtime for upgrades don't matter to me, you didnt hear me slag of ntl once I knew the leics outage was for upgrades, I am hoping I get an upgrade sometime this week.

BBking I am curious why ntl are so secretive over the upgrades, compare this to BT who have public online records for each telephone exchnge showing the status of how long before upgrade and estimated date of upgrade to NTL who have staff who know but cannot report estimated date's trust me when I say thats bad public relations. NTL should never have announced this back in may if they were unable to act up on it in a decent timeframe.

1st August has arrived but no sign of an upgrade here in Norwich (600 cable modem customer).

Has anyone actually read the posts stating that it would be highly unlikely that NTL would do such a thing on a Sunday?

I hope they start to sort these issues out cos we do like NTL for there prices but right now they being a ass

what you say is quite true over the last few weeks there have been a few problems with cable in rochdale. Even the tv started playing up it was like that for a week. We have not even got the upgrade round here
