[.: JaCkPoT :.]

There are confirmed reports Watford is using N3 now on all channels and as a result the following areas are affected.

Switch to N3 within 2 weeks of getting the card through the letter box. At least you will know how long you have left when it arrives LOL.

Any Telewest set to or receieving new cards?

Got mine in Bournemouth last week

You can say what you want but all these people saying March is the end are living on another planet, there is no way in hell that everything will be done by the end. Like I say for you people in Liverpool and quite a few other telewest areas including the north east 6 months minimum is the most likely.

Yes your right mate there are so many areas to send cards to there is no way VM will be able to do the whole country by easter as antisipated.

MonkeyAL thanks for the info, what the issue with these areas, is it just their size or do they have a differnt set up in some way?

Thanks

Its not particularly an issue its just about timing and priority.

you may have noticed that a lot of areas have gone to 3.7, this is just a standard network software upgrade which is going to happen. just like in the past when it went from 3 to 3.2 all the way upto 3.6 and so on.

What is happening is EX C&W is being focused on first as that is what Leeds and Watford was. The areas around Leeds are then being converted onto the same network and net id so this is why they are going next.

Basically if you are not ex c&w you are not going any time soon.

The CAID has appeared in some non ex c&w areas but this is for initial testing and some new installs will see cards start to appear as a test. Which is what happened to leeds, which took around 5 months start to finish.

I also have good info on the areas I quoted but like I say you can apply this to other areas like Wales, Northern Ireland, much of the north east and a lot of Birmingham.

I'm in no way saying its not going to happen, all I'm doing is trying to help share with you what I know and trying to help you understand the process and timescales. Which are what I have previously quoted you all
