So :angel: would i be correct in saying they did not say they would have 3 but in fact would have a series which could be 2 or more :LOL:. In a nit picking mood tonight :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

No, Grimsby needs testing. I'm sure I can test it to its full potential with my ****ty little village with no customers and alot of spare local bandwidth ;)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

:LOL:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I think Manchester should be tested lol

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Me mate on Telewest got a upgrade a couple of weeks ago and his is approx 8MB [ although TW also say its 10MB service] Makes getting games off of Fileplanet faster but how many times are you going to use those speeds.

A lot of people will abuse it for a while im sure, but the novelty will soon wear off.

Must killllllllll dilli :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Trials month ;) doesn't really count as 'speed update' month. Products are certainly not going to be commercially available this month, so his guesses based on the grapevine don't work this time :)

Considering ntl themselves didn't know until recently the dates for trialling and releasing bloke in pub must have had a few when he gave out dates for things that were still on the drawing board :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

All very odd cause after reading the latest posts in this forum i phoned NTL customer support this morning and they told me

"NO ONE has 10mb service, it is going to be December before ANY ONE gets it".

I explained to him that people in this forum are saying they have it an he simply and clearly said

"this is UNTRUE"

He then went on to tell me

"NTHELL is not run by ntl an there for what u read here is rubbish"

i pointed out to him that i was aware that the forum is not run by ntl but explained that some NTL staff/engineers use it to which he replied

"those people wouldnt know as ntl has not confirmed anything to anyone at this time".

Now either this particular Ntl employee is not being told whats happening or he is just plain lying to people. lol Not like them to do that.

But 1 thing did become very clear during this phone call an that is that ntl customer service dont give a **** about paying customers inquiries.
Ntl should take a tip from the bt advert "its good to talk" an maybe retrain some of there staff as in the case of this person he lacked the basic ability to be civil. But he will be pleased to know that a complaint was logged against him shortly afterwards not that i expect ntl to take any notice.

So once again in the words of NTL .....
"NO ONE HAS THE 10mb SERVICE AN WONT UNTILL DECEMBER"

Ill leave it to you to work out whos the liar.;)

shouldnt it be all ntl customers should be tested......



for being insane 1st of all ;)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

It certainly doesn't count so far here :sleep: but we can live in hope.
At least the 3Mb is working good finally.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I know it's already been asked a couple of times, but could those members who are downloading at 8Mbps post their downstream & upstream data rates from the "Operation Configuration" page of the cable config web site.

User Name & Password = root

http://192.168.100.1

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

im sure that isnt an IP?.. net ip, or network IP?? no sure, doesnt look right to me.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

It's the access IP for the SACM.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

it allows you to check your cable modem config file - what we need is people who are getting 8meg or above to go in and access this screen then select the 'operation configuration' screen from it - then check the speed values on it and screen dump it and post here.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Hi Wasted.d,

Welcome to the world of ntl, the complete communications company..who can't communicate to their own front-line personnel.

It's a well known fact that the ground staff at ntl are told very little of developments. I know this first hand from when I used to work in tech.

This is exactly what CM Tech said to me on the day the 3mb upgrades went live. They weren't told what was going on at all.
There really is no point in calling ntl to find out when things are going to go live etc. Your best bet is to stick around here.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Hi,
I spoke to an ntl employee (not on the phone) and he said "november, definitley november but im not sure of the exact day." although
as Nate said, you should keep checking here for news.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

ambit modems show you max speed in the diagnostic screen.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Swansea is the last place on earth to know anything :) its best to ring sales, at the time of the last free upgrade I rang CMT and was told its not available yet, I rang sales and they said they could upgrade me now "If I want" :)

I had been told others had it, so rang sales (150)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

booooooooooo!!!

Just run the speed test again and i'm back on 3 meg again

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Omg how sad.. they degrade you?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I'm still waiting for people to post a copy of their config - there's been a lot of boasting about improved speeds but not one posting of a config screen showing it.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

lets face i though any thing we've had or may ever get (config screens) could be easily photoshoped by someone with a one meg config file.
it could probably even been done with paint.
ok i thought what the hell and have mocked one up with paint

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I've got 2 routers and an old Terayon TJ210 modem... therefore that page doesn't show up.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

thats fair enough
routers shouldent be a problem but the older modems will have the data in a different place.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Yeah, I've managed to get the config file for it once before, but it involved disconnecting the routers, putting the modem cable directly into the back of the pc and configuring the DNS to a certain address or something - it was a complete nightmare to get it back working afterwards.

If there is an easy way, I'll do it.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

the trajets ahve no web based config under default settings damn (just reading up on it).

nah it just fails to load up.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

sweet and congrats
were you on 3 meg before?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Yes I was.

NTL gave me no notice that they were upgrading it, I just noticed my downloads going faster one day and decided to look here and see why that was and thats how I found out bout the 10mb upgrades.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Still no upgrade in Derby. Waiting patiently :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Just checked i've not been upgraded either.. :(

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

no ofense martin but any one on less than 3 meg isent going to be done until some time next year, and your info says 2 meg

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

shouldnt be based on that.. and hopefuly, if there is such a thing as god, i wont be on NTL much longer.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

3mb people are going to be upgraded first, then it will be the rest next year, no way that anyone on less then 3mb will be upgraded.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Didn't NTL say they will not notify customers of the upgrades it's just a case of them hitting the switch then the customer doing a speed test to find out their speeds.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

thats what he said

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

ntl are probaly trialing new areas! would help if you told us what area you are in from what i know theres trials in hampshire at the moment

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

i wish ntl would tell us what is going on instead of us finding out from rumours people who for whatever reason are on 10mb trials.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I VERY strongly agree....but they probably wont tell us anything until they are actually rolling it out.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

so what department in NTL do you work in???

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

it was in the press release

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

been reading this thread for a few weeks now as a "guest" and there are still no signs of an upgrade in my area (notts)
hopefully, from what I've read, it will be next week

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

That might be a bit optimistic - I wouldn't be too sure that they've finished the trials of it yet. But having said that, it's anytime soon for those on 3Mbps. :) :welcome:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I am an optomist ;) and if it's not next week it will be the week after, or the week after that, or the week after that.
Thanks for the :welcome:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Not even mentioning the fact that NTL themselves announced that those of us on 3Mb will be upgraded first, can you imagine the uproar that would ensue if those of us paying £38 p/month were upgraded after those customers paying less? :confused:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I've got the 2mb service, but have been receiving 3mb for the last few days... :tu:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Shhh, don't tell everyone.... they'll all want it ;)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Talking of which, a few people on these alleged trials have done speed tests and achieve 8.2Mbps downstream, yes? Someone posted further up the thread...

Any indication of the achieved upstream speeds?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

was about 60k

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

That would suggest 512kbps... not bad, if it is just a trial. :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

these people upgraded do ftp speed tests please.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

theres another rumour going around that upgrades are starting tommorrow guess well wait n see if its true :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

where where i wanna see:D lets face it its not gonan happen, im gonan go all conspiracy theorist here and say i doubt il be on 10meg before july next year
come on ntl make me eat my words.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

go look on ntlhell and a quote from ntl's service status page

*On the morning of Tuesday the 1st of November between midnight and 6 A.M,
Service upgrades and network rebalancing across the country will result in a brief loss of service for all customers.* i wonder what that could be... it never usualy effects everyone...!

and a quote from someone on ntlhell

"I heard a little whisper the other day that the 1st of November is going to be the day, just wondered if anyone else had heard anything??"

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

its unusual for for the services page not to say that.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

id foudn that i meant on ntl:hell but i found it on the forums any way

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

My ntl installer just sneezed, that means that everyone at ntl are going to get a cold in the next few days.

C'mon people, if you have been keeping an eye on the service status page over a long period as I have (I remember & prefer the previous site design) you'd be aware that the service message in question is posted up practically every month, I've seen it mentioning nationwide rebalancing a few times now.

Besides, the update mentions UBR upgrades & rebalancing, nothing more, nothing less.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

have to say i agree with you i dont think it means anything

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Is today the day then ?

yea right they'll keep us waiting till the 24-12-2005 :p

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Hold it hold it sorry if i misread this but some areas are getting upgrades I am 2mb ntl with the ambit usb cable modem ( sacm ) in the Manchester area, could I be upgraded?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

According to the statement by Ntl, you won't be upgraded until January, at the earliest. The end of this year is a date quoted for 3mb users. With 2mb and 1mb users being upgraded after that.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

But that just plain sucks, sod the rest upgrade the highest paying...hmmm me ponders moving ISP.

I know this is for the network saving bullcrap they like to spout more like to push people onto paying £37.99.

I for one will upgrade my package soon as 10mb is available... nevermind paying the extra i want 10mb... emm sounds lush :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Sounds lush yes but I fail to see ntl's problem with upgrading everyone, if it is down to there servers, then I wonder seriously about the quality of there systems, if they are not upto the job don't offer the service.

Be like a hospital opening a new ward with no beds in it. POINTLESS.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Nope, 3mb customers get the upgrade 1st. Then others following next year.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Spent a 'little' time on the phone asking about the upgrade and got a result.

According CS my 3mb bb in Harrogate will 10mb end Nov/early Dec............................................... ..........

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

To be honest it sounds very bad business practise to ignore the rest of the users for the highest paying ones, be like a car dealership giving the GLX car buyer a free meal and making you wait in a cue in rain for a hotdog from dirty blogs caravan. Just because you own the LX.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Its to do with load Since fewer people are on the 3mb its easier to upgrade them to test the capacity and how the network performs before letting the hoards on.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

How far in though? they upgrade the 3mb users, find aload of "mythical" techincal problems ( rake it in with people upgrading so hence my next point) make the 2mb and 1mb users tempted to this 10mb by making us wait well into Febuary I bet, and once people moving to the 10mb service at £37.99 is slowing then finally upgrade us.

Thanks NTL over 3years service and your going downhill IMHO quicker then BT.

To test it? so they are not sure about there own systems? if so why even talk about offering the service?

And hoards on? so let the rich payers play with the new toys then the riff raff??

Anyone know a ISP provider for Manchester which values its customers on all tariffs?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

So, in your experience of rolling out 10 meg to 1.5 million users, what do you advise ntl do? How do you suggest they orchestrate the rollout?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Area by area start small in more outstreached sections, localise the release and slowing put the stress on the systems, this way you dont have people on different tiers getting annoyed as everyone in there segement is done at once.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

But then those who are not in the 'outstretched' sections would get as annoyed as you seem to be by not getting upgraded at the same time as those in the outstreached sections... :rolleyes:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

So if they give 10meg to the 3meg users, does this mean i can expect to pay 1/5 of what they pay for my 2meg connection.
or do i change providers :confused:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

And those who pay there bills and see's there neighbours get updated and they dont and live in same street get more annoyed.

So move your rolling eyes away matey.

I know I aint paying £24.99 when you lot on 3mb have 10mb. And ntl can come and kiss my hairy behind aswell.
