Interesting timing, Eircoim announce their 2-5Mbits upgrades yesterday so NTL announce their intention to go beyond 3Mbits the same day .

KTRIC

All the way to 10meg as I was told by a chap in NTL a month ago.

dlofnep

LOL.. move to a city and you'll be fine.

zoro

Help, my modem says Ntl: 250 on it and I'm on their 2 meg, what will this mean for me?

edit: will 2 meg be upgraded to 10 meg also or something more moderate?

I'd say give them a call for yourself and see.

Think my modem is a 250 aswell. Reckon they're the newer models so I should be ok.

from http://www.chetnet.co.uk/articles/index.php?page=index_v2&id=91&c=4

ntl:home Series – 100, 120, 200

The ntl:home series was manufactured to ntl:’s specification by a leading Far Eastern electronics manufacturer, Ambit, now known as Foxconn. All models are both Ethernet and USB.

The 100 model is Docsis only, so comments as above on Eurodocsis. Introduced in April 2002.

The 120 model is a special “Dual Mode” Docsis and Eurodocsis development for ntl: it is believed to be the first such development of a Cable Modem. The 2 in 120 meant “Dual Mode”

The 200 continued the “Dual Mode” capability and utilised a Docsis 2.0 Broadcomm chip although Docsis 2.0 has not been deployed on ntl:’s network.

i assume that the replacement will be the ntl:250 which is smaller, as they say in the letter. there's details of it at http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/141/ntl-release-new-broadband-modem

Perhaps this might explain why I was getting only 4meg when the upgrade blip occurred last month.

Im in Dublin 6W and too just received the letter, Ive got the old 100 modem and am supposed to have somebody calling out next Thursday, that however remains to be seen, just cant trust the b@5tards. Although I did notice that they have dropped the prices of the top 2 packages by a fiver,

And was just told on the phone that once they install the modem the speed will be doubled immediately at no extra cost.......

What does the 100 look like? Mine is about a year old and grey but I have no idea of the model!
