Are they still charging £50 to upgrade modems?

As far as I know, You will only need a new modem if yours has become faulty or if you require a speed that requires one of the newer modems.
NTL will supply you with one free.

i still got an old cmx and dont get anything above 7.5meg, shows how long i been with them but also im getting random stalls on the conenction, data rate drops to 0 and i have to reboot the modem to get it working and sometimes even with a reboot it will stall again after afew minutes where sometimes it is fine for days

cheers guys

If you are on the 10mb service, then yes it is not going to serve you much good and you would need a new modem (ntl:250) from NTL.

For 1mb or 2mb you will be fine with this (NTL Home 100) modem still.

Not true I am sorry to say. Ambit 100/120/150/200/250's will all support 10 Meg service.

Motorolla 3100/4100 will not get the full throughput as the ethernet connection on the modem is a 10baseT.

As far as the 20 Meg service goes, 150 is the oldest modem you can use on this service, the 200 and 250's should work no problems at all.
