Re: 1mb going slower.
 

true enough... i dont know which upsteam john s is on yet cos i haven't got his details, but all of the issues with the cwbrula router that were going on in september time last year have been resolved and i haven't heard of any problems with it since then.

My first guess is that it is a proxy issue.

Re: 1mb going slower.
 

1Mb service on NTL is a touch flakey, sometimes its spot on other times it leaves a lot to be desired.


OT bit

At work i thought i'd do a speed test..........Get ready.......

Hi,

I just got home from work Email is down no messages after 2 timeouts of a minute web is up and working OK so far, think it will be the other way round in an hour so Ill be able to read my Email when the connection slows.

Re: 1mb going slower.
 

After a visit from Bill C I have now taken this speed test

Thanks Bill for sorting out the connection after being told there is nothing wrong with my connection on after calling in. NTL we need more like Bill to save your customers from giving up and moving over to ADSL.

Hi Monkeybreath,
As you are on the Cwmbwrla UBR is your Email working because mine isnt.
If yours is down as well I suggest the bloke who went home for the weekend and turned off the server to turn it back on LOL.

John.

Re: 1mb going slower.
 

my email is working fine at the moment mate... haven't had any problems with email for quite a long time (fingers crossed, now i am tempting fate!)

Re: 1mb going slower.
 

just ran it again speeds are normal now, they are very on and off. Pem are you in nottingham because since you dont have problems yourself I am wondering if they just work better for local users.
