Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
Ah, more conspiracies, some people just love them. You seem to spend so much time doing tests and worrying about traffic shaping, routing, peering, ubr's etc, I often wonder if you ever have time to actually browse the net :erm: and yet still you are with ntl - I think it's all a conspiracy and that you are really an agent of a secret group of ADSL providers, sworn to cause ripples in the very fabric of space/time (and ntl's network). :disturbd:

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
its me using the net or failing to that causes this. I didnt think to myself one day right I am going to start running tests its as a result of things simply not working as they should and I am not the only one paul with concerns. It is easy to criticise others when your service runs fine.
I should have moved house by now and I would have possibly left ntl but I haven't and I am stuck with them for the time been so I will push for a proper service. The test I did for bill more then me since he downgraded he couldnt run it, my main concern is my ubr and getting that sorted out before worrying about shaping. |

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
bill damn thats bad, when I downgraded to 2meg it was poor but not at 7am
Sun, 12 Mar 2006 07:43:30 GMT 1st 512K took 891 ms = 574.6 KB/sec, approx 4735 Kbps, 4.62 Mbps 2nd 512K took 531 ms = 964.2 KB/sec, approx 7945 Kbps, 7.76 Mbps 3rd 512K took 406 ms = 1261.1 KB/sec, approx 10391 Kbps, 10.15 Mbps 4th 512K took 484 ms = 1057.9 KB/sec, approx 8717 Kbps, 8.51 Mbps Overall Average Speed = approx 7947 Kbps, 7.76 Mbps here at 7am my ubr can almost push 8mbit O_o |
Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
Mine just a few mins ago
Sun, 12 Mar 2006 08:03:39 UTC 1st 512K took 437 ms = 1171.6 KB/sec, approx 9654 Kbps, 9.43 Mbps 2nd 512K took 438 ms = 1169 KB/sec, approx 9633 Kbps, 9.41 Mbps 3rd 512K took 453 ms = 1130.2 KB/sec, approx 9313 Kbps, 9.09 Mbps 4th 512K took 422 ms = 1213.3 KB/sec, approx 9998 Kbps, 9.76 Mbps Overall Average Speed = approx 9650 Kbps, 9.42 Mbps It is obviously local to you Bill, apart from the probs on Tuesday my results very rarely differ from this. Just checked on ADSLguide: Downstream 8752 Kbps (1,094.0 KB/sec) 9452 Kbps (inc. overheads) Upstream 491 Kbps (61.4 KB/sec) 530 Kbps (inc. overheads) exactly the same result. |

I know they say upto but less than 1 meg on a Sunday morning on what is a 2 meg connection sucks. This has got to be a contention issue, There is no way shaping would do this. |

Browsing is not great, and i think theres enough rips and tears in ntl's fabric to keep them busy for a while to come. I now have engineers ringing me to see if they can come out to do anything. Shame they didnt ring within the 48hrs they said, not 4 days later. Apart from that i dont think there's anything they could do from here. :mad: |

1st 128K took 1078 ms = 121588 Bytes/sec = approx 1012 kbits/sec 2nd 128K took 1062 ms = 123420 Bytes/sec = approx 1027 kbits/sec 3rd 128K took 1063 ms = 123304 Bytes/sec = approx 1026 kbits/sec 4th 128K took 1062 ms = 123420 Bytes/sec = approx 1027 kbits/sec I'm on 1meg and whenever I do a speed test get roughly 1meg as the result so if they're traffic shapping it must be selective arears or you're confusing over loaded ubrs etc with shaping? |

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
looks like it's your UBR then mate as you're both on the same one and getting crap speeds. when you say you're making calls tomorrow - good luck with the Indian call centre! best get those calls in now before it's 10p a min to tell them your connection is nowhere near what you're paying for!

A couple of hours on the phone at least then, make sure you can still see the tv, and have coffee and sandwiches ready. Even if you get one of the better guys, you know the drill, get ready to remove any web protection you have, and then be ready to doubt the builder of your pc, along with your ability to switch it on and use it. :( |
