Well it is nearly Christmas - perhaps Santa's Little Helpers will be working overtime? :shrug: :D

Probably the same way that diconnecting our PC from the modem and then rebooting the SACM was going to help us see if the connection issue went away ;)

Re: Dire browsing in Peterborough
 

he he he, yep. The indian on the TS call centre was a bit shocked when she was asking to browse a particular site (robin walkers speed test) and was dicatating the URL and i jumped in and completed the URL for her. She said, ohh so you have run this before. Yes about 30 seconds ago with the router in line and its going to make no difference!!:mad:

i cant believe this!!

NTL(India) are telling me that because im on the 2Meg service that a throughput of 249kbps is fine. They dont seem to understand the 249kbps id BITS and not BYTES. They are multiply 249 * 8 and saying thats 2 meg!!! WTF it should be 249 / 8 which is 31kB.

Great!! theyre going to move me from UBR 1 to UBR 4. UBR 4 has known problems and thyre going to move me onto that UBR because its CLOSER!! why is it closer??

Re: Dire browsing in Peterborough
 

i was told that they were going to put me on a different UBR. The problem seems to have gone for the moment however i dont think from this trace they have changed the UBR. Have they??

wicked that trace looks ok plus when browsing cable forum you will connect to a proxy and that proxy connects to the site. It could be you just have a bad proxy and need to specify one manually.

Re: Dire browsing in Peterborough
 

i know, my browsing is fine now. I was just asking if you can tell if the UBR has changed. I assumed that the second hop ip address would be different.

I dont know what the cause of the slow browsing was but the cure was supposed to be a change of UBR.

Maybe the last time i rebooted it changed proxy?

Re: Dire browsing in Peterborough
 

If you dont specify a proxy one is picked dependant on the website you are browsing, if you browse a dozen or so sites you may well be using 3 or 4 different proxies over the period as it doesnt tie you down to 1 proxy. The only thing that stays the same is you will always use a proxy in your area so say for me I am in Leics and if there is say 6 Leics proxies then unless I specify one I will always use one of those 6 proxies.
