    Mine is "To be confirmed" in Manchester area - I presume that is short for "Yes, you will get it but after everyone else in the country has had theirs for 6 months."

    Schedule is stunning, they start charging us £2 more from now but they cant even tie a bloody month down for when most get the speed upgrade!

    Yeah, I thought the same mate. Was gonna start a thread with this link, but thought WTF is the point.

    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    Well do you feel the need 4 Speed. well internet speed that is,
    after reading the posts on this thread my head is a spinning with things i would like to say, but i is fucking at spelling and would be here all night typing.
    anyway may i just say sorry to all the ones out there that have had a uninformed Cable engineer come to your home and not knowing all about the fucking services your isp is offering. the truth is we do not get told about new speeds or were the fuck the sky channels have gone. we are just like you we have to go home at night and read good post like this one to find out what the fuck is going on.So Sorry. oh and if we were offerd more cups of tea, well you would be sirprised what we would do for you.
    Dave.

    To see if you have got the new speed take the power lead out of the modem for about 5-10 mins then put it back in, let it boot and then test. ring 150 tomorrow and tell them your modem seems to be running slow and went of last night for about 5-10 mins can have a look at your modem from there end to see if all is well.thay will do a test or 2, as there doing the test ask if i is possable to see if you have had your upgrade yet. talk very nice to the one on the phone. i will take time to hit all the modems that are being upgraded as well as hitting all the new installs that go on in a working day. fucking shit loads.

    What the hell does this mean, what is the point in pulling the modem out for 5-10 mins, let alone phoning them a day later asking if you have been upgraded, nothing and I mean nothing is going to get you upgraded faster until its time for your area ...

    Also its not the people on the end of the phone that upgrade you, so all in all a pointless post ...

    I was lead to beleave that if you remove the power for about 10 mins then plug it back in again it is most likely you will get a new ip address, unlike the old days when it stuck to your mac address. then as you have a new ip in a new range it will send you the new 20meg cm-file.
    and regards saying (Also its not the people on the end of the phone that upgrade you, so all in all a pointless post) being nice means they will try harder to help you and maybe send you a new hit,as it is in the south west as am i.
