Signed up for BB L/TV L/Phone M and moving into house that already has cable (ex-Telewest).

Read the Upgrade Schedule for 4Mb to 10Mb but some London areas are still TBC - how can I know which POP I will be connected to? New Malden / Croydon / etc - there is no Wimbledon (SW19)?

Thanks.

Once you have the cable up and running if you click the CONNECTION on the top menu bar it should give you something like

cpcX-flitX-X-X-custXXX.lutn.cable.ntl.com (with number where the X's are) in my case it specifies that I'm in the Flitwick area of Luton cable district.

Post yours up (but please hide the numbers and do NOT post the IP)

Thanks - will do so on Monday (hopefully my booked install on Sat will be okay).
Just checked status page and Croydon area is still TBC as of 12/8.....

What's the first bit of your postcode Russ, just the first 2 letters and numbers?

Some parts of SW19 are on New Malden and others are on Croydon. PM me your full postcode if you want me to check.

I believe your area runs via Croydon see http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/existingcustomers/faster/schedule.html

I imagine the name Flitwick has some other variations by some people Kymmy.;)
We have some good one's down here though, "Dicker", "Lower Dicker" and for the well heeled upstanding citizen there is "Upper Dicker".:)
