Re: NTL Broadband

thanks umfufu, that worked!!

Not only did I fix the volume issue, I can now control the dvd player from the UPC remote too.

If I can just get it to boil the kettle I'll never need to leave couch again.

Re: NTL Broadband

Down with the folks for Christmas using Sky Plus instead of NTL

I have to say, Sky's menu system is absolute shite.
NTL is much more user friendly & less annoying.

upgrade time...

I got a text from them while I was away telling me that they'd upgraded us and to reboot the modem. Definitely noticably faster when we got back yesterday and tried it out. It was painfully slow before if we were both using it at the same time.

Re: NTL Broadband

What's the up speeds on these new packages? If UPC are rocking docsis 3 it's a pity they're not offering some phat pipes up.

 

[pete]

i get 1.5mb up on the 20mb so i'd expect that to bump to at least 2mb

Yeah I notice that - they did the same thing about 3 years ago too with the same contract extension.

cheers pete, not quite 15Mbps, but better than 9, which is what it has been max-ing at to date!

 

[Ferox13]

Its up 10megs alright on the down speed and an increase of about a meg on my up..

Cheers for letting us know..

 

[dleacht]

Thanks for pointing out that small print Pete I almost missed that. I was thinking faster could be better but as I dont wanna be stuck in a contract, I'll stick with what we got

so would i need to have been upgraded to fiber to get the upgrades?
