Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

i see back to ntl..

well thats good at least u got no more problems now a fast stable connection
75GB cap... well i never hit much more then 60GB a month dunno about u

ntl was always good to me but ukonlines offer was to good to ignore and i always get sweet speeds even though im 2.2km away from exchange.

will post my speed tests once i get the 22mbit my adsl2+ router be here tomorrow :)

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

....
im getting
Bandwidth: [Current Downstream: 1056.62kb/s ¤ Current Upstream: 25.85kb/s]
and thats from microsoft web site but the download stays there constant and it was a 107Mbyte file so im very happy with ukonline
im 2.2km away from exchange to i wonder how my 22Mbit will be

Downstream 7907 Kbps (988.4 KB/sec) 8539 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 662 Kbps (82.8 KB/sec) 714 Kbps (inc. overheads)

this new modem is doing wonders for me :D Netgear DG834GT

sweet dl and ok ish upload cant go wrong there

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

988kb/sec is about the same I get with my 8mb bulldog connection

I wish I could get 22mbit here.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

thats kewl i was getting like 840 with my old router though now ive been getting 1Mbytye from microsoft web site
i dident expect to get this fast being 2.2km away from the exchange
im sure bulldog will do the same now adsl2+ is allowed in the uk slowly like everyone followed ukonlines 8 megs. just waiting for them to activate the 22meg now

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

Have you been upgraded yet? If so, how is the speed and stability?

I'm looking to find a good ADSL ISP to join in January when I move into my new flat in Edinburgh.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

well....

i got my netgear modem 2 working days after i put for upgrade which i then plugged in and was getting 10.5Mbit but the problem was the net kept dropping every 5 mins and i would uplug router and then it would work for 5 more mins and drop again and go on like this.... so having plug back in the actiontech router for the 8meg i get 8meg constant i figured i hadent been upgraded.....

but the tech line at ukonline say i have and i have 22megs coming my way
but when i upgraded from 2meg to 8meg i got a email saying congrats its fully upgraded and when i login to my email on the web site it says Required for installation 22meg nothing about it being installed so i have to call on monday find out whats going on as for the 8meg im getting constant 8meg anytime i use it and im 2.2km away from exchange.... the upload both 768kb from 22 and 8 meg service shame it isent 1.3MB like bethere ...but i get max 83
which is ok for me dont need much more upload...

Required for installation
Service:
22Mb


will paste when i get now from the netgear modem you can see :)

faster then the 8meg but when i rang the first time and said my net was dropping every 5 mins the first guy never told me that i was already on the 22meg service he was like wow ur on the 8meg but getting 10megs thats more then everyone else :/ so maybe this second guy dident know what he was doing??
i hope to find out monday

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

This sounds like what was happening to me when I tried to get the 8 meg.I think you may find that the faster speed will show the flaws in your line.These problems are going to go accross the board until Bt upgrade there network totally and stop relying on arachic copper.Billions need to be spent before Dsl will be stable at higher speeds

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

Looks to me you on the 22meg product, remember its a upto speed and you will only get it in perfect conditions, the internet dropping out is probably the result of it synching too high to be stable.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

didn't I read that ntl are going to up the bandwidth in mid 2006 or sooner? 25Mbit I think? and 50Mbit by the end of 2006.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

That was “The Bloke in the Pub” ;) , I think that the word now is 20 meg in a few months with 30 meg being held in reserve in case it’s needed to compete.

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

your probably right... they did say that id see about 13Mbit and being 2.2km from exchange prob 10Mbit is about right they say they send you the netgear router 2 working days after you have been upgraded and i was told i got upgraded same day i put in for upgrade... the only thing made me think i hadent is i never got the confirmation email and in my inbox like i did from the 2 to the 8meg through webmail says required for install not installed. with the 8meg actiontech router it stays 8meg constant its stable connection good upload. will find out tomorrow whats going on when the call centre is open try get the connection stable maybe move back to ntl if they offer 20Mbit+ speeds

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

well i had been upgraded 100% sure i am on the 22meg service

the guy on the line said its because my Firmware Version was old gave me a link to get latest version and said this should fix it and get faster speeds then the 10Mbit i was getting ring back it carries on crashing every 5 mins :/

i see myself going back to ntl if they end up doing these faster speeds upgraded router still getting 10Mbit

DownStream Connection Speed10364 kbpsUpStream Connection Speed766 kbps


says that in the router options am pretty sure it should be alot more? :confused:

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

a query:

am considering hopping on the ukonline bandwagon
they say they block ports 80 8080 3128 & 25

what restrictions exactly does this cause?
i know they don't have a news server .. but does it stop you connecting to another .. also how does it fare with p2p?? (torrent & emule type affairs)?

thanks in advance ...

Re: Ukonline 22mbit!
 

well ive had no problems at all with p2p such as torrent.. my little brother uses limewire for mp3s and kazaa lite so far no problems with them i think its to block mail servers them ports if im correct? :)
