Whereabouts in Cambs do you live?
I'm in Cambridge itself, connect using a standalone cable modem, & got my upgrade back in late August (I think) - despite the postcode checker saying it wouldn't be done until November.
You might need to ring tech support & get them to do it for you if it's due but hasn't gone through automatically - 0845 650 0121 [or, one of the ntl people here may be able to help]

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Just a quick thought about the newly announced speed upgrades - I take it this means all broadband customers will have to be given on of the new Samsung boxes, 'like all the 1.5meg customers did?
Cheers,

Only if your going to want 2 or 3Mb for 1Mb the old pace boxes are ok.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Yeah sorry, I did just mean the higher speeds - forgot about the 1meg. Sounds like a good deal to me - they're meant to be quite a bit better from what I've heard. Also forgot that Langley only currently use SAC modems, although I'm sure the Samsungs are meant to be launched there soon aswell.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
I'm currently in the LE6 area, on a 1mb line, and still haven't recieved the upgrade yet Any ideas? They said September, then october, but haven't heard of any change yet.
My average speed using spped tests is about 1mb still (dropping to 750k often, and peaking at 1.2mb) but even when downloading form a very good HTML source, my peak is 121k, same as it's been for 2 years now.

There are a number of technical reasons why Leicester has not been upgraded yet (apart from a few in error ) - our ntl sources tell us that they hope to have them sorted in the next couple of months.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
on Leicester.
Stouffer I feel sorry for you, personally I dont think its right that some customers wait for what could be 6 months after other customer's for upgrades, and I am also in Leicester and now on 1.5mbit, but the performance is abysmal at the moment with fluctuating pings and transfer speeds, I think the Leicester part of ntl's infrastructure is in need of a rehaul we have been stuck on analogue tv and poorer internet performance then other national ntl customers for a while now.
On upload speed increase
I think ntl were planning on not increasing upload speed but didnt confirm this in case the market reacted since their initial announcement and now telewest have announced increased upload speeds and this new LLU ADSL residental isp from easynet I think ntl will raise upload speed's to keep with the pace, wether or not only the top tier gets the increase will remain to be seen but I would be surprised if we dont see 384kbit now.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Who knows what ntl might do - ntl told me they are thinking of keeping the upload speeds as they are but as I have previously said this is probably an indication that they are still thinking about it.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
Somebody needs to remind ntl of telewests upload increase, hopefully ntl will follow in suit.

Why?
The vast majority of NTL BB customers don't need any increase in upload speed.
