Anyone know about Orange upgrades to hig?her speeds

bobobrussel

I recently received the following e-mail from Orange, saying they are carrying out some work on the system today, but despite the promise of increased speed, nothing has changed - speed varies between 6.5mb and 1.5mb

Hello

Great news. We're making some changes that could mean we can speed up your broadband service - for free!

We're going to complete your upgrade on 25/06/2007 at some point between 8am and 6pm. It'll only take about half an hour, but during that time you won't be able to get online.

Any ideas what they are doing?

They did mine when it was wanadoo. What they may be doing is setting up LLU - which is basically where they have their own equipment in the exchange to manage the connection. In theory this could allow faster speeds.
Good luck - when they did mine, I was without broadband for 3 weeks!
