Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
 

yea, i think we were suffering a database outage, as to why my 250 eventually managed to drop through and find at least a basic connection and your's didnt , no idea, but again, im also back to the 2 meg, so, so much for getting the 4meg by the 22nd+1day.

i couldnt use that basic 150/32 for very long before it would drive you mad.

Hi All, I just joined the forum, thought it about time -- I was reading this thread this morning when all went pear shaped !! as others reported I too had strange speeds settings in the modem, even stranger both pc's had different readings for the same modem ?
It also tried to give me an IP addy starting 169. something or other, all that did was screw up my network config.

Anyway I now join you all in waiting for the ellusive 4mb

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
 

Dont worry... no upgrade here yet and browsing has got poor lately :o:

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
 

the 169.* basicly means it hasnt been given the real 8*.* ntl network address from the network and windows has seen fit to give you that 169.* instead.

if you want to mess with your networking addresses (not for in-experienced pc users) then take a look at
PE Network Configurator

http://www.geocities.com/pierremounir/
as also found on the UBCD4Win livecd MSwindows maker.

very useful at times, and even the novice can use it to see thier network settings and will be safe as long as they dont change something they dont yet understand......

ohh and welcome.

Thanks Popper, Just sorted out all the problems IP addys, port forwarding for a number of apps etc.
The Network Configurator looks as if it may simplify things if it happens again. will give ity a closer look.;)

Re: [Merged] Speed Increases 1st June - 2meg to 4meg
 

My connection in Farnborough Hants (GU14) went up to 4mb on thursday (well around 3.8mb accoridng to speed tests) but today its been really slow and speed tests are showing just 1.6mb.

I do notice there is load balancing schedualed for this week so hopefully that sorts it but if not im not going to be happy as my connection will have got worse rather than better as it was alwsy reporting 1.9mb before the upgrade
