Hey guys,

I just applied for 4MB last Friday and the technician came round to my house yesterday to set my port to 4092. He told me to check again in an hour's time (he came around 11.30am) to see if my line got upgraded or not.

Now I know this is a bit too good to be true... and it was. I'm still stuck at 1.5Mbps at the moment. So my question is, how long is it usually until the line gets upgraded? Do I need to keep resetting the modem to check if I get upgraded or not?

Bonus question: When do you think would be an appropriate time for me to start spamcalling the technician and complaining about how the speed sucks etc etc?

And yes, I'm impatient

Guess I'll wait another few hours then... sigh

Checked my modem and everything seems to be fine. Up is 4096 and down is 512 and the sky is blue, etc etc.

I just called the installer and he said apparently the server didn't update my status during the night and that's why I'm still capped. According to him, the server updates every midnight and if my status wasn't updated then there must have been a server crash or something.

At least that's his excuse anyway

Now he's telling me to wait till midnight again and if still nothing he asked me to sms him so he can email the technical people to do it manually. What laaa... tomorrow Saturday already, if nothing happens tonight obviously nobody will be in for Sunday right? That means have to wait till Monday night till something can happen is it? Haihhh... Why can't he just email them today and be done with it already!

Oh and if anyone's interested, my IP's starts with 115 as well.

Well I guess I spoke too soon? I'm getting 3.5 now which is good enough for me. So what's so great about this 218 premium IP you guys keep talking about and will it get me laid or what

Ah ok. Nice to know. Would be useful for L4D2 I suppose.
