Larney Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 They just send a command to the cable modem. They change the downstream to 1024kbps (or other speed depending on your package). They only send it once to tell it to just go to 1mbps, they dont mess around with half-upgrades etc...Some cable modems allow you to see a log and it should have an entry for the speed increase: http://192.168.100.1/signal.htm That link is for webstar cable modems btw. For Motorola Surfboards: http://192.168.100.1/logs.html 585071118[/snapback] Cheers, I'll try that when I get home (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteMan Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 BlueYonder are really looking after their customers. I started by paying ?35 for 1mb BB, then they upgraded to 1.5mb and now they are upgrading it again to 2mb....and all for no extra cost. You always think there is a catch...not this one! Amazing!

It IS the best ISP in the UK without a doubt mainly because it just keeps on upgrading for no extra cost to the user and NO DOWNLOAD LIM:D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larney Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyonder/Get...UpcomeAction.do That isn't showing anything but http://192.168.100.1/signal.htm says I have 1024kbps. My speeds seem varied. Anybody in Sheffield been properly upgraded or anywhere else by now? This thread has gone abit quiet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrXBob Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Apparently we've been done (Sheff/Doncaster etc...) but my modem log still says this: 4-Error X501.35 Unit Update Failed. Like it has done for a few days now. adslguide gives me this now, at least: Downstream 2013 Kbps (251.6 KB/sec) 2174 Kbps (inc. overheads) Upstream 239 Kbps (29.9 KB/sec) 258 Kbps (inc. overheads) So I'm at 2mb now instead of 1.5 :D Still kinda pointless though, when most download sites arent even fast enough to cater for your download speed.

I've noticed ALL my downloads now go at 110+ which is nice. Now time to upgrade to the next flag 1.5 / 2 and 256 upload and see the increase in downstream mainly but a nicer increase in upstream.Anybody else been fully upgraded yet or got any news?

Larney Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 True, i'll give it until tomorrowcheers 585093630[/snapback] Give it until tomorrow night, alot of places they get the upgrades wrong and re-do them (said earlier in the post). Try shutting down your PC and resetting everything tomorrow night and see if there is any difference. Save telewest some time I suspose because alot of people will be phoning about the upgrades.

Larney Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Sweet (Y) Just a quick note, my upload speed was really slow last night so I reset my modem and router and it worked fine. I think people with routers don't get their modems reset properly? Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt26 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'm in Doncaster and mine hasn't been upgraded. Actually, more likely it has been and my dodgey old modem doesn't feel like updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
