Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
everyones so impatient - atleast you have some kind of upgrade! But i do sympathise that some will get full rate while you may not, but when the time comes - Ntl will sort us all out. Resources will be stretched a bit thin while this is rolled out.
Just don't break perfectly good equipment just to get the latest and greatest. - Btw I've got an Ntl100 box on 2Mb am happy with the speed, just want un-metered. |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
I use the Samsung STB what speed can these go to ?
phoned cs up they said it wont cope over 3 meg so wait for the December launce of 10 meg and i should be able to get a cable modem then. (as if) i asked if i could get a cable modem now she said nope (only new customers) i only been with ntl 5 yrs \/ :Yikes: think i waited best part of 6 months for this silver Samsung STB, they should have just give me a cable modem then for sure :confused: :td: :mad: :Yikes: i also asked if i could buy my own box she siad nope! :confused: :td: :mad: :Yikes: |

If you own the modem then just stop using it and Ntl will have to kit you out with a modem or lose you as a customer. I've got an engineer booked for monday. Just hoping they install a NTL 250 modem. |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
i bet there is a firmware upgrade before year end, if not then there is going to be alot of NTL customers paying for something that they haven't actually got.
Maybe this is NTL's new way of managing their network, give you a free speed upgrade and then blame the network for your slower than 10meg BB when infact its the modem, i wouldn't put it past them |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Are the NTL:250 modems the only SACM Ntl install currently ? Or do they still install the 120/200 etc.

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Hi
I'm new to the forums! :waving: A point about the sb4100. I have a 100mbit LAN card on my motherboard, connected to my SB4100. It registers as connected at 100mbit/s, so maybe it's just peoples cards/routers that are the problem with this modem?. See image Regards |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Hello Everyone,
New to the forum but will let you know what I have been told by ntl Customer Services. I had my broadband upgraded from 3MB to 10MB on Wednesday. I am currently only getting 5MB Down but full speed Up. I am using a ntl:120 modem. As I am moving house next week, but still staying in same area, I asked about having a new ntl:250 modem installed when the engineer comes to connect my service at the new house, as I am not getting the full 10MB Down. The Customer Service Rep said that everyone with a ntl:120 modem will be getting a new ntl:250 modem as they are not releasing any firmware updates. These new modems will be released in batches but Cust Servs were unable to say when they would start delivering the new modems, but did say it would be this year if you are currently on the 3MB service. Hope this all makes some sense to some people. |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Word around the forum is that the 120 modems can't handle the full 10meg.
Some have called ntl and had it swapped out with a 250 and that has sorted it.. |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
I already said I spoke them if you missed it sorry, they the ones who tried to reupgrade me after I got downgraded but the system wouldnt let them do it.
Or did you mean ring them again and ask for the modem so I have it ready for when I can upgrade again? |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
I know a certain person who uncapped his sb3100 motarola modem to 10mb when he was still on 1mb *cough cough* anyways it can handle it, and i've also been told by a cs that it can hadle it.

Frankly, that ntl employee is just wrong. A number of ntl modems are unable to do the full speed.

In normal use the user is not going to notice much difference between 5 and 10Mbps maximum speed- its even hard finding a speedtest site capable of generating enough bandwidth! In most cases the modem won't be the slowest link in the chain. And if you intend to fileshare at 10Mbps continuously - how many hours/days before you exceed the 75gig limit? |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
The SB 4100 has a 10/100mbit port. If I connect it to my Router only the 10mbit comes on, this makes sense as the router only has a 10mbit port fitted to it. Now if I connect direct to my PC, the 10 & 100mbit light comes on which means it operating (in theory) at the full speed.
Now the problem i have is that on 2mbit I got a pretty constant speed on downloads and now that i have "gone on this trail" it can vary from 1mbit to 8mbit depending on what speed test I do and at what time. Downloading files from UK Server with 1000mbit links is very erractic indeed and can get as low as 36kB/sec where as before i upgraded it was always constant at about 200+ no problems. After a long chat with TS, my theory is that a few factors are coming into play, everyone who is getting the 10mbit is downloading and thus flooding the network - this been to test out there new speed. The other thing is they may well be working on the back end (as TS said) and this also could account for the problems. My plan is bascially sit tight for say 1 month (mid Dec) and see what happens in regards the speeds of my SB4100, if it sticks at 4mbit then they said they will replace the modem with a NTL250 Model.. EDIT - Just did various other Speed tests and my theory is correct I think, I am getting Speeds ranging from 1mbit to 8mbit so this would say the SB4100 can handle the 10mbit no problems... |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
I have just upgraded to 10Mbit and I have a Ambit NTL Home 100 Modem.
The service I upgraded to did say 'Upto 10Mb'. I presume I will also need a firmware upgrade? Is the upgrade something they can do automatically, or will they have to send us a disk? |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
The thread is too long to read everything so I'l just jump in here if I may...
I've been with NTL a while and have the NTL home silver 100 modem. I'm guessing that will need replacing. Can anyone confirm that ? |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Hi there.
I currently use a surfboard SB3100 cable modem, I had this when I first became an NTL customer about 5 years ago when the very first 512kbps broadband service was released. I have been on the 3meg service since it started and was pleased to hear that 10meg would soon be available. I thought I would re-boot my modem and see what speeds I was going to get in the hope that my area had been upgraded. My max download rate from Microsoftâ₠¬â„¢s servers early in the mooring (when not many people are on the net) was maxing out at around 670kbps. I done a speed test and it was about the same, my upload was around 55kbps. I was a bit worried about this and thought that my modem was at fault. I have been looking for some firmware updates but none are available to date. It does appear that my modem will NOT support the full 10meg speed. A friend of mine has just sold his house and is changing to a BT line, he has given me his old Motorola SB5100i cable modem. I was wondering if I could use this instead of my SB3100 and if NTL would register the new modem? If not I will have to ring up CS and ask if they will do an upgrade modem for me. The last time I rang CS I was put through to this guy who told me the SB 3100 would take the 10meg speed, he obviously does not really know the facts. Any advice would be much appreciated on this one guys. Steve |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
I'm On a NTL Home 120 Modem supplied by NTL.
If i bought a NTL 250 Modem of EBay and installed it to replace the 120 would it be that straight forward? Hell...am i even allowed to remove NTL's modem? Any help would be appreciated. I can get a 250 modem for 15 instead of paying NTL 50 to come out |

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Rang ntl up today and ask them if i have been upgraded and they said yes to 10mbit
im using the silver modem ntl200 Download speeds are still 3mbit around 350-360kb/s So am i the only one with a ntl200 thats not working or is there a fault |
Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Killerv, i am using the same modem via ethernet and rang up a few weeks ago to get upgraded to 10mbit.
Atm the speeds i am getting during the day are around 3.5mbps and right now(ringing cs right now) am getting a paltry 1.5mbps down!! and as the auto upgrades are being rolled out i would have thought i would be getting much higher speeds as im not even getting the 3mbps down i was before the upgrade!! ---------- Post added at 20:12 ---------- Previous post was at 19:52 ---------- Ahh just spoke to cs and then ts(even though the ts guy was abit abrupt and sounded fed up to be there..) he said that adsl speed tests are inacurrate and should try to download say a large game or patch file and see what speeds i get then. The download speeds i got the where at first 1.16mb/sec(10bmps) to 792kb/sec(7.5-8bmps.) so i am getting the correct download speeds so ive learnt that those kind of speed tests above are inacurrate..:-). |
