LOL - If I take a screen dump can I get them on advertising it for £17.99?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

"I have got 1Mb Broadband †“ what is 1.5Mb going to be like?
All our 1Mb Broadband customers will be upgraded to 1.5Mb later this summer.

This means that you will be able to

· Download large files at lightening speed
· Email large attachments ..."

I can't quite get this statement.
How will increasing the speed from 1Mb to 1.5Mb have any effect in emailing large attachments? :confused:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

...and if you look on this FAQ page it is even cheaper... £12.49. :shocked:

Maybe theregoing to be the "new prices"

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Why do I get the feeling that that by the time that postcode checker is working, my speed will already be upgraded, still, cant complain, much, DAMN YOU NTL!! GET THAT CHECKER WORKING!!!! :LOL:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

That *was* correct as there was a deal going on for new customers in June - half price broadband. I think its run out now though.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Just noticed my downloads speeding up to 140kbs a second since i lost connection and had to reboot got this

Currently was on 1mb NTL. Seems im on way to 1.5 :shocked: :D :D :D :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I had the same exprince too :D my download went at 140kb when downloading from a server located in Ireland, it stayed at 140kb till the download finished which was like a meg, i also just used the Internet Explorer downloader.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I have a strange occurance, all my ftp downloads are around 84kb/sec but www downloads are 70kb/sec and I havent had a modem reset.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Upgraded to 1mb and now this is my speed:-


ADSLGUIDE:-

Direction Actual Speed True Speed (estimated)

Downstream 1397 Kbps (174.6 KB/sec) 1508 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 224 Kbps (28.0 KB/sec) 241 Kbps (inc. overheads)


Simple Speed Test:-
1st 128K took 719 ms = 182298 Bytes/sec = approx 1517 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 703 ms = 186447 Bytes/sec = approx 1551 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 703 ms = 186447 Bytes/sec = approx 1551 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 719 ms = 182298 Bytes/sec = approx 1517 kbits/sec
