Re: Free 2 to 10 upgrade

I possibly think that the timetable link is specific to your own area. Posting it for other people won't work. Will try and find out tomorrow

Fairy Fairy,

This will help me, what is the name and model of your modem?
I am hoping it's the same as mine.

So they must be doing the upgrade in your region then if you received an email from them.

I will feel much better if I were to be told that I don't need a new modem either.

Current one is Motorola Surfboard SB5100

I know what the figures are, I was referring to when you said it went down when you applied for the upgrade.

Did your TV service freeze when you turned it on? I turned on the TV, and the picture looked like when you press pause when watching catch up, it then went back to normal, but I was unable to view ITV1 or CH4

Were you on 10mb before the internet went offline?

---------- Post added at 14:08 ---------- Previous post was at 14:04 ----------

Mine is still at the 2mb it seems

Was that after you registered the mac address with VM?

I wonder if you would have still got the 10meg speed if you had used the old modem?

Also, did you receive an email from them telling you that your area had been upgraded and that you were eligible for an upgrade?

If you do not register you will only receive the upgrade in October so best to register.
