upc cablecom have released the new firmware STBA.01.50 (v1.50) for their white Thomson WiFi-cable modems. This replaces the previous version which was v1.39.

The new firmware fixes the corrupt-file download bug, which primarily hit Apple users and their DVD downloads or OS updates...

The update is for this modem:


They say all customers will automatically get updated, but it will take until the end of September 2012 before all customers are done (because they do them in batches).

If you want to update now, switch off the cable modem, wait 10s, then switch on again. When booting up the modem will get the new firmware. Be patient, and don't interrupt the process, or you might kill the modem! The update is finished when the Power, DS, US and Online lamps are all on steadily (i.e.: not flashing)

I just did mine about 10min ago. I also did a Factory Reset afterwards to ensure everything was set back to default. If you do a factory reset, don't forget to change your username and login, and best set your own SSID as well.

Enjoy!
