68Kb or 68kbps?? 68kbps is terrible!

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

I was previously going to correct whoever posted '68k', which doesn't mean anything.

I assume he means 68KB/s, equivalent to 544kbps. Heh?! It's only a 512kbps service upstream!

The 10Mbps down/512kbps up service should max-out at 64KB/s.

Purely for research purposes, eh ;)

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

I did some pretty thorough researching myself last night :)

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

OK, that sounds a lot better than 68kbps :)

Still, it seems below par with other service providers who seem to offer thier 8Mbps services with 768kpbs+ upstream.

Not really an issue if you're only downloading stuff but a pain if you've got a web server or some other server at home you want to be able to access at a decent speed from work.

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

Yeah, it is below par - but NTL do tend to be below par when it comes to upstream speeds. It's annoying, but I won't complain too much about 512kbps - unlike the (unworkable) 100kbps upstream on the 1Mbps downstream service. :td:

BitTorrent (seed in half the time) :D

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

Must admit I'm very impressed with the speed up-grade I have so far. Getting absolutely no buffering when watching video clips, large or small. This really does feel how the internet should be. And once the software up-grades happen for the cable modems (Home 120) and speed is increased possibly still further, hats off to NTL ! :tu:

:D

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

Sorry yeah i meant 68KB/s and yes it should max out at 64kb/s but thats what bitcomet is telling me.

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

Done a speed test this morning - and the speed has improved again! now running at 8Mb connection according to the ADSL Guide web site.

Happy Chappy! :D

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

An Ntl customer who is actually happy with the upgrade??? :Yikes:

Better watch out before they shoot you :sniper: and mount your head in the office to prove happy customers really do exist out there. ;)

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

I'm available for public functions/press conferences if NTL would like to pay me for it. LOL! :D :D :D

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

am feeling sad....on my config screen I got the lovely 10240000 and 512000 but adslguide gives me my 3mb connection :( rebooted modem soo many times but doesnt get higher at all :( :( :( :(

am living in Kettering Northamptonshire if any1 has the same problem...as I'm sad now

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

Slightly confused as to why your details are showing 2Mb in your profile. Have you just been up-graded from 2Mb to 3Mb instead?

Re: 10 meg - what to do with that extra bandwidth
 

havent changed that....oops....but I've changed 3 days ago from the 2 to the 10 (at least thats what I got now in my config file) but still getting the 3 megs think its not ready in the Northants area.
