The problem is the loss isn't all the time but when you seem to need it most. My son has now given up playing CS due to the irractic pings I get. On one forum with games I ping higher than some on NTLs 600K while I connected at 1mb.

If and until they admit that some are having severe problems they will offer nothing in return..
If I was just downloading all the time it perhaps isn't as noticeable...

I sat for 15 mins watching the downstream and it was up and down like a yoyo every few secs.

Downstream Receive Power Level : 0.3 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 33.4 dB
would jump to anything upto -0.3 dBmV and the SNR would jump around just as much and on another day it woud be more stable.

I can get this sorted for you if its local just send me a PM if you want me to get involved :)

You don't have Dunkeh syndrome - his issues were on the upstream path

That's what I had then

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds

I agree on the core network not been overloaded, if it was we would all be seeing issues, issues are localised.

Sorry if this has already been brought up but does anyone know when the BB speeds will be upgraded?

thanx

No set date for the speed upgrades. NTL have only said late summer.

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds

My mate in west midlands was upgraded on friday.

Erm are you sure about that? - ntl have not rolled out the new speeds and will not be doing so until late summer as announced.

He/she is presumably a Telewest customer, & not an ntl one being in the West Midlands?

Somebody in work who has NTL said that the new speeds were showing on the upgrade or sales pages? :confused:

My recollection was that the announcement said later this summer, not late summer.

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds

Correct - although I guess you could read 'later in the summer' in a couple of different ways, although saying 'late summer' would probably do more favours becuase then ntl would look good if it was before. All semantics really!

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds

You may as well just say "coming soon" ;)

I wonder if this will be "subject to regional availability" ;)

not quite sure what they are referring too... but i can't find anything about it. It won't be on the upgrade pages because it will all be done automatically... :confused:

Re: [Merged] NTL Increasing BB Speeds

If they make the 600k to 750k so it download at like 85kb ? On my 600k I can download at a max of 70kb.
