I use DuMeter too, but i've been having problems with it, crashing and getting runtime errors when i run certain other things, like Half Life 2, and a few others. It's still the best i've tried though.

i could have sworn i was moaned at a couple of days ago for going off topic is it ok now some of the higher cf members are doing it

I think that instead of increasing the d/l speed they should improve the u/l speed first. What is the point of Having 3MB d/l when u/l is only 300K

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Increasing download speed is far easier than increasing upload speed. Which would you prefer, 8 Mb down with 300 k up, 3 Mb down with 300k up or 2 Mb down with 300k up?

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

I think NTL's upload is saturated on my ubr and many others so I am against increased upload speeds.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Maybe the bulk of the public (and therefore NTL's customer base) don't really do much uploading?

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Must admit, upload has never been a concern for me, or most of the people i know.
There are many who always want to download faster, thats for sure. ;)
However having been on the internet quite some time [Compuserve dial-up anyone? :(] these days i would sooner have constant speed and reliability, something i cant knock NTL for in all honesty.

as long as its over a meg in speed always on and cheap i dont care

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

What is "broadcast traffic?"

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Traffic directed at a number of hosts, rather than just one. Just like the way a TV Broadcast is transmitted and lots of TV's tune in to it by "listening" to a frequency.

Cheers

Web radio is broadcast

But your selected Video from Broadband Plus would not be.

Have I got the idea

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

sorry to go back to an old posting but i haven't been to the forum for a few days and wanted to reply. I actually did go over 30gb the other month. And yes it was legitametly with the beta of world of warcraft, a free trial of everquest, an everquest 2 beta, the matrix online beta and several other beta test. i also subscribe to official music download sites and yes i did download a few linux distro's as i have 2 machines and was looking at setting up an old 486 pc as a firewall box for the other system. Now i'm the first to admit this was not normal usage, it was a one off. most monthes i use about 9gb at the most. All my point was that i would prefer a monthly limit rather than an inforced daily limit as a daily limit of 1gb will not let me enjoy beta tests as much as i do. i think that the caps are a good idea it will get the leaches away from NTL, and improve all the other users service. Just want a monthly total cap thats all

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

oh and i can't wait for the speed increases. especially the upload speed increase even if it is small, it's very welcome. Will give me that bit more of an edge in online games

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
 

Both Web Radio and Broadband Plus are non-broadcast. Your computer requests data from a server (be it video or audio). Broadcasting is only really done on local network segments.

IIRC web radio is multicast rather than directed or broadcast. Don't know what that means in terms of caps, though.
