I was getting apology message first, and when i refreshed the page
10-15 times, i finally got "Upgrade Now" button, but landed to

Why did they advertised 28th when they actually started it on 27th
afternoon and now ppl are getting error messages (

I think advertising a start on the 28th so far ahead was a recipe for
disaster. Clearly everyone was going to hit the website on the same
day.

My order went through, but bizarrely they have sent me a new modem, I
don't even use the old one!
