How easy is it to upgrade or downgrade you Broadband?
At the mo we have that 600k bb = console package but we dont use it that much (Got adsl as well) and so my dad wants to downgrade it to 150k.
How quick is the process?

That's lame - I've always been downgraded before I put the phone down because I know that calling them back is a deathwish.

Downgrade time depends on how you access BB if its via a STB it can take a while via a cable modem is almost instant.

IC14 quick point if you downgrade to 150k you will lose the 2nd ip addy that you have as part of the console package as there is no console package for 150k

HTH

Are you rich or something?!
Two broadband internet connections! :eek:

Yes - downgrading is easy just ring them up - you can only downgrade speeds of you cable modem online, i belive you cant with an STB.

If you have an STB then the connection can sometimes run above 150 - between 150 to 256 , becuase of interactive on the STB!

Hope you get on allright, should be easy enough!

How is it that even the most innocent ntl-related questions on here so easily turn into a 'let's-flame-ntl' free-for-all?

If we're going to be reasonable adults, shouldn't we give them a chance to do the job before jumping down their throats? Fine, if they screw up, let 'em have it, but for goodness sake give 'em a chance.

Personally I think a couple of hours is perfectly reasonable. What are you worried is going to go wrong in that time?
