Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

I rang them to say that I'd not been upgraded and I got fobbed off - if they give you anything better then I'll call them again!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Nikko,

I'm connected via a SACM. Yes, we are ex-C&W - should this make a difference to the upgrade?

Not to be picky but they said late summer which is August, given that September is the start of Autumn, but then again this is NTL!

Just wondering has all of Manchester, Rochdale, Bury and Oldham been upgraded? if so would that mean that the new modem files could be sent out for the 1.5meg stb service?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Calm down people. Not everyone is due to get the upgrade straight away. There are still 20 days left in august!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

It's interesting how everyone on the Luton UBRs seems not to have been upgraded - at least it's not just me

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Cyclone - have you had to reboot your modem to get the improved speed?
