Could you please try the tweak test there:

And report back what section 2 of the results gives (the information on the test download).

FWIW I called 0845 650 0121 which took me straight to a UK guy so it was not the offshore guys. If ever I get through to them I redial until I get someone from the UK.

Well I'm afraid you got exactly what you deserved. ntl employees help out here in their own free time, insulting them is hardly going to make them want to help you - exactly what did you think such an unneccessary comment would achieve ?

Re: Speed Issue - Nothing left to do but leave NTL?

Excuse me? The guy gave a sarky comment after a long post, not bothering to help out. What was his unnecessary comment supposed to achieve?

From the way I read the post it was a question, not a comment ?

As was pointed out, there is a good reason for asking such a question - why are you so quick to assume it was 'sarky' and 'unnecessary'?

Whatever, either way NTL have yet again managed to keep me on the phone for an hour while accomplishing nothing. The UK guys seem just as incapable as the Indians.

your technique for getting anyone to want to help you may still need brushing up a little bit ;)

Indeed, it's just so frustrating getting nowhere on the support and then getting people on here - where people are meant to help out - not helping either.

Re: Speed Issue - Nothing left to do but leave NTL?

They're helping me, but then again I've been patient and polite.

I suspect he would have been about to offer help. he's helping other people so he is here for all the right motives.

Why do some have to stick it to those that are here in there own free time to try and help others. ? It never ceases to amaze me.
