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.

Re: Areas already upgraded (2012 double speed upgrades)
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?
