ive just changed my BB package fro 20mb to 2 mb and they said it would take 24hrs to change it, its now been 48hrs and im still on 20mb what i was wanting to know is,

A) have they just not sent a signal down the line yet

B) the sub modem won't take a hit until i reboot it? in which case as long as i don't reboot it i will still get 20mb then when i do reboot it it will go down to 2mb

C) something else?


thanks
mike

virmin are slow as m8 if you are that bothered phone em and say you aint payin for 20 so either sort it or dont charge any more than for 2 meg
 
You'll have to reboot the modem to drop to 2MB but I wouldn't recommend it lol

Once the modem provisions onto the network it stores the config file in memory until next reboot ;)

Have fun while it lasts lol

:)
 
lol, i would, but maybe they might send a signal down to reboot the modem aswell, just a thaught might not be correct!...just a quick question... how much did you pay each month for your 20mb connection?

lol nice one! thanks it stays on till i have too reboot it then lol

i was paying £38 for the BB but i didn't see the point of paying that when i didn't get the full speeds + my internet usage has changed and i don't do a lot of downoading now, and now ive got a new m8 my mod 200 if i need the speeds i can use that : multi :

expencive lol, it would be good tho if your downloading movies a lot or programmes that are high in meg, lol
i heard that 200's are hard to mod, and go off-line regulary, but i do not know, i have two 200's but i can not mod them as they have taken the update, but im not totaly sure if they can still be moded.

ive heard people say 200's are sometimes ok and others not, this was my first modem and apart from a couple of first time mistakes etc it went ok and its up and running :)

i followed the new 2008 200 ambit tut, with one thing different i used tftpd32 instead of solar winds

do you mean when you say "they have taken the update" that they are bricked? if so theres a bit in the tut i said that shows you how to sort that ;)

You can still mod them m8, you just need a blackcat cable, 10-pin header and to be relatively good at soldering ;)

As Mike says have a peek at that tut. Only problem I have with the 200's is I can't get the darn serial to change no matter what I try..... But they still work anyways lol
