Was just uploading some files and noticed it was flying, sweet.

Anyone in Birmingham been upgraded yet?

Samurai Jack · 28 Mar 2006 at 14:28

I was told yesterday by the support desk that it should be by the end of the week for Birmingham/Solihull area (but that's really what we've seen anyway). I'm getting my old SB3100 cable modem swapped out on Friday just in case.

Will the old surfboard modems not operate at the new speeds? I've got a SB4100

Sheffield is upgraded.

You're fine, providing you're using Ethernet with a 100Base-T NIC in your machine.

The SB3100s only had a 10Base-T port and thus couldn't achieve the full speed on the 10Mb service.

Dosen't seem to be any faster here mate.

How can I check?

Shall I restart my modem?

Yeggstry · 28 Mar 2006 at 20:09

Easiest way to check:

http://192.168.100.1/logs.html

you should have a log entry like this:

2006-03-28 09:52:17 6-Notice 0x041D0318 SW Download INIT - Via Config file cm-4096-384

in this case it shows that I was upgraded to 4Mb today

Vertigo · 28 Mar 2006 at 20:42

The Motorola modems don't show the name of the config file, all you'll be able to see is that the modem rebooted, which in itself is a fair indication that the upgrade has arrived.

im in yorkshire im getting 1.2mbps seems to be active

yeehaaaa!

Type_R · 28 Mar 2006 at 22:12

The wait continues here in BHX

Itsjody · 28 Mar 2006 at 22:14

well im currently getting 3 mbps according to speed test, although i should have been uograded to 4 meg.
checked the log file and it says this - 2006-03-28 21:06:13 4-Error 0x041D050C SW upgrade Failed after download - Incompatible SW file

Itsjody · 28 Mar 2006 at 22:20

scrap that, just rebooted modem and run speed test, 3.9 mbps WooHoo

Phaser · 28 Mar 2006 at 23:04

I just rebooted my modem and spent an hour looking at a blinking flashing light with no net access.

And because I rebooted my router the log has cleared too.
