Yeah - bad wording for 100/10 which I added to my text as an afterthought. Doesn't alter the fact that you'd be hard pressed to buy it right now though - at least in most areas and the final product will be 120/10 (or is that 120/12?)

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)

TS10 got upgraded last night/this morning along with the firmware upgrade, am only getting around 10meg or so download speeds rather than 60meg at the moment - was getting 30meg most of the time. Either they broke something or are still in the process of upgrading.

Got an early upgrade today and unfortunately had to let my vmng300 go but I got a matte superhub which I think looks nicer than the shiny ones, tho I suppose its just another cost cutting measure.

Weird-I'm in TS3 and haven't got the new config file yet, though i have rebooted the modem several times. Went to the mother in laws today who is also in TS3 and she did have it and was getting ~16mb.

Modem mode caused the speed reduction to 10meg, using the SH in normal mode delivers 60meg. Guess I'll give the new firmware a run out.

Weird, if they were held up due to a fault or delayed delivery of hardware etc you can understand it being put back a month till August or something but how has it been put back 3 months minimum. If they had the resources planned for it to be completed by July what on earth has happened that it is now going to take a ninimum of 3 months?
