raptors892004 Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 You should call them just in case and ask if you are using the 3/768 internet.. Then post in here and tell us what they said.. Maybe its just that the new net did not kick in effect or it may be something with the modem/windows..

amc11890 Posted September 7, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 will do.....too late now maybe tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 The upgrade could come in the next days, as it takes some time for it to go in effect on the ISP's servers and stuff.. But its better to call and check than to be in the blind and don't know whether the net is slow or it is not upgraded yet.. Cable upgrades kick in immediately (my internet got upgraded 1-2 mins after i called the ISP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 most dsl isp's can make the upgrade start instantly, because they can control there dslam. same with cable. But there are still some that wait a few hours or even days to make the effect. But for you its been a long time, that upgrade should have already taken effect. what kinda modem do you have?

raptors892004 Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 It was probably one of those trainees on the phone who were still not up to date with the company's policy on upgrades and stuff and probably entered a wrong address or something and told you that you qualify.. Maybe billing said you qualify cuz of your account funds and stuff, not because of your address and hardware configuration.. My ISP never did that..

This may be a stupid question, but did you actually upgrade your account or just ask about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how the company could say you can upgrade, she can upgrade your net without mentioning the incompatability of the higher net speeds with your hardware (modem) or with the equipment they have in your area and then someone else from the company saying that you cannot have that upgrade.. Either their company database software is messed up or they work with different ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
