point me to an NTL official statement that says it's a trial.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Give the network time to settle down, we are only on trials at the moment, NTL can reduce our speeds if there is a problem with the network.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

I was getting a sustained 1100 - 1200k/sec last night on an ntl:200 :D

The major factor here is the bandwidth offered by the remote server.
Downloading OpenOffice from the UK Mirror service got me maxed out pretty easily.

i am on 10 meg, nottingham ng11 9ba .ntl 120 modem. phoned up, turned it up ,all is good ,speed fluctuates due to testing still never less than 4.5meg

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Despite several customers claiming to have been told that it is for new customers only the http://www.home.ntl.com/page/broadband3 page only lists 1, 2 & 3 Mb tiers with "Coming soon in 2005 - up to 10Mb at no extra monthly cost! Watch this space." being shown. I would have thought that would have changed to show three tiers with the top tier being listed as up to 10 Mb if it was the full blown launch.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

I'm using an NTL:200 modem and getting wildly fluctuating speeds.

My own test is using something like Azureus and grabbing programmes from UKNova. I can see other peers getting speeds of over 1meg - yet I don't seem able to get anything over 350k. I have tried all sorts of setting to no avail.

If I use Robin Walkers speed test, I get anything from 2 to 10 meg within the same test. It seems too random.

I don't really know where to look to grab something I know would top me out at maximum speed just to see.

I'm in Manchester and notice others with the same modem and living close by are getting maximum speeds no problem.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Others have suggested that Robin Walker's speed test isn't reliable for 10meg because its sample size is too small. Head on over to www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp and give that a try.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

well thats the thing you see thay dont have to offcialy anounce its a trial just say it is. :bigcry:

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Hi, as anyone in the Aldershot (Ash vale) area got the 10meg yet ?

The connection is gone at the moment so maybe they are making some sort of switch.. Still running on the 3Mbps line with no change as of last night..

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

If you want to somewhere to test your speed with a big download, try getting a Linux ISO or something from http://mirror.ac.uk

Might I suggest
http://mirror.ac.uk/mirror/fedora.re...4-i386-DVD.iso

(It's Fedora Core 4, 2.56gb)

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

I have it in Fleet, and I know somebody in Farnborough has it.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Thanks for that beardsley. I think they are different "areas" but all pipe through the guildford area. I've got the ntl:200 modem so that should cope with the change. Will have to wait and see if this current downtime is the switch.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Just spoke to India.....It can be done we will transfer you to our technical centre..................Manchester customer services....................No they have lied to you, it can't be done.....................Called again hit Swansea (thank god) Now living the 10 meg dream. Have a Terayon tj210 and no known problems with them.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

I installed a NIC last night (i've been using USB connection to my modem) in readiness for the higher speeds that are on the way :cool: It's up and running fine, but i was wondering about the Duplex settings. It's a basic 10/100 D-Link Network card going to the NTL: Home 100 modem. I'm on the 1meg connection (despite being told they had bumped me up to 10Meg, when i asked for it on Saturday).

At the moment both the modem and card are set to auto-detection, as this was the defualt. Would it be beneficial to change these settings? I think i read on an NTL help page to set both to 10 half duplex?? but not really sure why?

Any advice appreciated.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Hi,

I live in Farnham (Sandy Hill!) and had problems with the connection since last night. Went and checked the upgarde options once it was working and upgraded from 1meg to bund3. There is no price on this option, am I going to get stung for 38 quid? Speed is definately 10meg round here now!

2 Questions:

1) What is the cost for 10 meg at the moment
2) Are there any download/upload limits in place at the moment?

Thanks, good luck in Ash Vale!
