that was random

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

what? im supposed to kissing blueyonders ass for taking action against the oppositions announcements, and evolving the communications service of the UK, to bring us upto speed with the rest of the world?

i think not. it's there duty. and don't tell me there doing me a favour. i still pay 50 pounds a month for the privlidge of my internet connection. im not saying i should moan --- I choose to do this. all im saying is there getting a sweet deal too. its not for "free". its evolution -_- but wait. i'm a 17 year old school kid. what do i know.

edit:oh, and adsl isn't "availible" in my area. so my only choice of internet due to my mum putting the phone line with telewest is blueyonder. i'm supposed thank them for that?

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

yes many areas have been upgraded.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

is right m8 bet ya buzzing no caps i hear as well shame i cant get Telepest stuck with Nthell wots the upload m8

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

384Kbps.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I'm on NTl in Glasgow, wow thats an amazing speed. I dont download much at all but im sure games must be fantastic on that speed.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Ping times won't be affected, who knows possibly they will, but for the worse for sure. There isn't any mp games that require 3mb, let alone 10mb.

My ping times are relatively the same since 128k BB, thank f00k ntl upgraded us from that /slaps ntl

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I can only imagine that lag in games would be helped by having this kind of speed.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

unlike some of you peeps, i fully intend to use the whole upstream to its fullest capacity.

as i run an online radio station, and cannot wait to offer a much better sound stream to listeners.

so can anyone say when gloucestershire region will be getting there upgrade done please

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Yay i have 10 meg . . . . . . . . . .

well at work anyway. Im the ICT Technician at a Primary school in Brmingham and we were upgraded to 10 Meg yesterday. Ok i cant do much with it, but ive still got it. Just thought i'd let you know...

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Still nothing for me.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

Looks like they haven't done southwest England yet :(

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I agree

I am a londoner, and will announce when i get upgraded, but i dont expect to until 2006

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Nah you aren't getting much of an upstream increase and Live doesn't really stress the downstream at all :)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Congrats, but how exactly did it happen -- did you have to call them, or did they just send you a letter saying that you have been upgraded?!?!?!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

They didn't send him anything his modem lost connection and when it came back it was on 10Mbit ;)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

thats how it happend :) oh i still cant stop going yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Me neither, and my connection has been playing up really bad this month too. I'm ****ed off at that.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

:mad: Bah humbug - Bradford area's not on the list yet - typical!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

i'm meant to have mine but getting noting but hassle instead :(

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

i just got 4mb!!!!!
yipee!!!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Had my upgrade letter this week, not on the list yet tho :(

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Friend in Croydon has been upgraded, however it's looking a bit ominous as the best he can get right now (14:40, certainly not peak time for home users) is 5Mbit.

Possibly rushed the product out to try and compete with Be, UKOnline, Bulldog, etc?

EDIT: Ignore me, he's now receiving a clean 10Mbit. Blip maybe.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Ignition this could turn out like when demon rolled out 2mbit to their 512kbit users. Where peak time speeds lower then previous due to heavy downloaders hogging more bandwidth between them.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Have not even had that yet

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

ive had no upgrade letter too....damn them..although there were alot of Telewest vans at the exchange boxs, in 4 streets near me all day yesterday, so maybe this is a good sign, or just winding me up!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I received an upgrade letter. It said the new speeds were rolled out over the coming months, so it may be a while still.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

now you see y NTHELL are merging with Telepest get things moveing faster for future customers

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

umm dont you mean slower :)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I also had my letter last week, but no sign of us getting upgraded in the near future.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

humbug, no upgrade in cotswolds area till end of november.......merger be complete by then!!!!!!!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Erm, I don't think so.... It's going to take at least 3 months just to get shareholder and commission agreement....

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I'm in Plymouth but my exchange is in Nailsea, does this mean I'll get the speedboost when Nailsea is upgraded, or do I have to wait for them to do Plymouth?

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

The whole south west will get upgraded together, as it says on the evenfaster page youre due the upgrade end of november

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

If you are talking about BT telephone exchanges, that isn't even relevant; your cable is not connected to a telephone exchange.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

so any one know when cwmbran / newport will get the upgrade??

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

No, I mean the reverse DNS on my BY ip is 80-235-136-131.cable.ubr08.nail.blueyonder.co.uk, so I'm guessing that means my exchange or something is in Nailsea, meaning I will benefit from the upgrade when Nailsea gets it.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

cant get any sense out of Telewest for my region, BRADFORD - anyone know any different?

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I've read this whole thread and it seems London has received the 4mbit increase, but is yet to receive the 10mbit increase (what I'm waiting for). Can anyone else confirm this?

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Parts of London have had the upgrade. Not all

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Does any one know when the midlands area (not the birmingham area)

is likely to be done last week i was told by customer service my
area would be done in a couple of weeks , but it does not yet show on
the even faster page.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

There is no date yet for the other parts of the Midlands.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Considering that Cwmbran and Newport are ntl areas I don't think Telewest will be able to assist you with that one ;)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

rumour in the newsgroups is that the rest of the midlands (Dudley, Solihull, Wolverhampton, Walsall) will be around Feb '06

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

im on 10mb-
[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Yes. some parts have been upgraded. check the by evenfaster page. im mortlake (upgraded end of sep)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

man ur so lucky :)
me ntl customer hav to wait another year :(

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Yeah, grats on the upgrade. Can't see anything that looks like my area on the list (Camden). They said end of October when I signed up last month, guess not.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

i was in cymbran yesterday.......and customers of mine say no upgrades announced from ntl as yet.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I just changed my package to include SkySports, so when I was on I asked them when my area (bradford) was likley to get it.

She found out for me, and said Yorkshire is due to be upgraded by 20th Dec, but probably not before.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

cheers mate for the info;)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

WooHoo got my 10 meg service today. It's not on the blueyonder showcase website as completed yet and I hope thats why I'm not getting my ten meg top speeds yet. Most I've had is 1.02mb/s about 8.14Mb. And my upload is not at full blow either. I have always had my full speed with my 2 meg service and after seeing some of the people's ten meg speeds on Cable Forum I'd like to have the same. Do you think because it hasn't been put up as completed that I might be having teething problems? I've only been in the door for like 25 minutes so I've not really had the chance to test it properly. Are these sites recommended for speed tests and is there any more?

1 more WooHoo:D :p: :omg: :woot:

http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

that download speed is as fast as u'll get.
dunno about the upload speed. i get full.

adslguide is the best

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Whats your fastest speed Andymt?

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

if downloading from a REALLY fast server, ie my friends dedi, hosted in UK with a dedicated 100mbps connection,
i might hit 1.6mbps as a burst on internet explorer and then settle at about 1.15mbps or maybe 1.2 if it is off peak (but this is extremely rare) (usually much less) but it shows at least that the problem aint my connection, but due to the nature of the internet. if i can hit 1.6mbps as a burst my connection has nothing wrong!!

however with firefox the burst seems to start at 7mbps or more!!
lol downloading from bog standard crammed us server id be lucky to hit 300kbps!
speed tests give me wierd results-from 2mps to 8mbps.
if u wanna test burst speed-use this (from friends dedi server)
http://andymt.co.uk/divx.exe

lol visit http://andymt.co.uk whilst yr at it.
if u wanna test a bit of streaming, go to http://andymt.co.uk/test.avi
or, if u wanna download a 4.5 mb file from the fastest server in the UK, go to
http://uk.clook.net/ (beware it goes in a flash)
make sure u try all these downloads at off peak times (prefferably middle of night) and close all applications like limewire, msn, bittorrent etc...
oh yeh, http://www.broadbandspeedtest.net/ is good if you think your broadband connection might be slow, it identifies problems with speed and configuration and gives you some technical things to tell telewest should you need to ring them.
hope this helps
__________________

oh yeh and upload speeds?

uploadin to that fast dedi server i mentioned i usually get about 44kbps (quite good i think)
and on upload speed tests i always get around 380kbps (excellent)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

I believe the burst in IE or firefox is because as soon as you do "save as" it starts downloading right away. Once you've selected the filename and pressed save it continues downloading from where it has reached, and that skews the KB per second reading - this levels out after a while.

We got our 10Mb last night at 1am. This morning it was doing 9000Kbps on the adslguide speedtest, but since then it's gone down to as low as 1.5Mb and peaking at about 3Mb (I tried lots of times). Hope it's a hiccup!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

opera and firefox will start with very high bursts if you take a long time to choose where to put the file, if I wanted to I could do a screenshot now of opera showing me on 10mbit speeds :)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Cheers Andymt ;)

Hey hey. This all seems more stable today. As i said before it might be because it isn't showing up as completed on the Blueyonder Showcase page so it might be still getting tweaked and sorted for Edinburgh at the moment.

As in burst speeds on that link you gave me Andymt (thankyou =D) I got 1.20mb/s but It was rising when downloading but 6-7 seconds wasn't long enough to get a true reading. Any chance of maybe asking your friend to put a bigger file on just for a few days? Sorry for asking but it's the fastest download I've seen so far unless anyone else knows differently?. I'm getting between 7.6 to 8.35 Mb as my line speed today but yesterday I was getting from 2 - 8 meg but it was mostly 5 meg and under. Thats why I'm thinking that Telewest are still sorting it and it's not showing up as completed on there page. I know you said it was the fastest I'll get Andymt bu't my lines changed again overnight and my uploads have went from 17.5 kb/s to 39 kb/s. I'll wait till it comes up completed before making too many judgements just now. When it is completed I will phone up Telewest to find out everything as Telewest have always gave me full speeds (253 kb/s downstream with my 2 meg line with 30.4 kb/s upstream) I do want faster because of seeing other people's speeds but I'll be happy if this is the end result as I'm not far off it and by your true speeds (after bursts) Andymt I'm not that much different.

It's quite funny as my 2 friends are on Bulldog 8meg and UK Online 8 meg and they only get 750kb/s Downstream (Bulldog plus less than 1/4 mile from exchange) and 850kb/s Downstream (UK Online same distance but in Brummieland)

Just a wait for the completed rollout over Edinburgh now!

Thanks again Andymt for that link

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

ok what ive done is put that 40mb stream avi file into a html page so-
right click,save target as and it'll download. its 40mb so it should last a little longer. now is the time i wish i had 1mb up!!
http://andymt.co.uk/test.html

oh yeh and if u aren't already use ie as its more accurate if u wanna judge speeds!

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

Andy with that test file I got between 350K and 850K sec fluctuating,

however downloading from blueyonder servers gets a better speed (and constant) ^^

http://psycle.free.fr/alk/test/download.PNG

I was downloading pcguard from the following address:

http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyond...guard_download


http://psycle.free.fr/alk/test/download.png

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

yeh that file is fast...

hmmm on the file i gave i get fast speeds... forefox is innacurate however as it downloads file whilst you select the loaction.

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]
same server but faster speeds on smaller file?? LOL

yeh yr right.. the other file seems to be slower:
[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]
and you are correct the blueyonder pcguard install file downloads very fast.
however 973kbps is still fine for a 10mb connection. lol only 27kbps away from 1mbps

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

if i get 360K with the 3mb, you should be getting around 1200Kps with 10mb connection... I cant wait for manchester to get it!... btw, what upload speeds u getting? :D

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

hmm..upload speed? 362kbps from visualware
__________________

honestly it doesn't work like that. i got 260kbps on 2mb and dont get the full speed on 10mbps. (i almost do)

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

None of those speeds are valid dude you need to let it settle down which you won't get out of 1 second of download :(
__________________

BY 2Mbit was capped at 2148kbps, not 2048kbps.

Won't see full 1200k out of 10Mbit due to overheads, receive windows and other wonderful esoteric stuff.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

better tests are ftp of a linux mirror or something. Much more accurate and outside blueyonder's network.

Re: Telewest announce 10Mb broadband speed
 

My connection is less than a 512 line now!!!!! I must have been right about the connection getting tweaked and sorted before as it's still not showing as completed in the http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyond...bbs_evenfaster webpage. Hopefully soon I can get to use my net. I'm in a Call Of Duty clan and play Pro Evolution 4 Online and I can't play at all the now :'( Boo bleeping hoo. 40kb/s download speed im getting on ADSL speed test with 17.6kb/s uploads. But when trying Andymt's 40 meg file im still getting 200 - 400 kb/s and with PC Guard on blueyonder page I'm getting 257kb/s. It's all gone pete tong!!!!!! Only one week to go till completion hopefully
