I don't know if you've agreed with me or not :confused:

adsl has always been advertised as upto...... (I have always considered it so)
NTL has only recently started advertising its speed this way. could this be a reflection of the fact they knew their network couldn't cope or their intended actions or policy's would have a speed implication.

Just done a quick check:

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:03:08 GMT

1st 512K took 1208 ms = 423.8 KB/sec, approx 3492 Kbps, 3.41 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1132 ms = 452.3 KB/sec, approx 3727 Kbps, 3.64 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1129 ms = 453.5 KB/sec, approx 3737 Kbps, 3.65 Mbps
4th 512K took 1114 ms = 459.6 KB/sec, approx 3787 Kbps, 3.7 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3686 Kbps, 3.6 Mbps

This is the best result I've had in ages. At last. Let's hope they keep it up. Anyone else looking better this evening?

looks like hop 3 is struggling and It seems a lot of hops inside NTL as well.

my connection has been utter crap for the last 6 days now too, very erratic speed tests and my Download speeds are half what they used to be.

have rebooted my STB countless times.

I don't think 10 lost icmp replies out of almost 2,800 sends could be classed as struggling.

As usual, in the day time speeds are what they should be:
Thu, 14 Sep 2006 11:57:26 GMT

1st 512K took 1094 ms = 468 KB/sec, approx 3856 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1093 ms = 468.4 KB/sec, approx 3860 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1079 ms = 474.5 KB/sec, approx 3910 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps
4th 512K took 1093 ms = 468.4 KB/sec, approx 3860 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3872 Kbps, 3.78 Mbps

Give it until 5 or 6pm, then watch those speeds plummet.

Somethings working right tonight, im normally down to 2mbps by 7.30pm...
Lets hope it stays like this

Re: download speed issues (yes another thread)
 
Did it stay like that for you? Been running like a 1 legged dog for me at night still.
Particularly bad tonight, speeds tests vary between 33k modem and 256k isdn equivalents (I've got a 4Mb line). Just done a tracert to BBC.co.uk and got this:

Tracing route to www.bbc.net.uk [212.58.224.114]

Trace complete.


Don;t suppose anyone can see if there's anything at my end that's the problem. It's getting really frustrating now :(

Re: download speed issues (yes another thread)
 
Monday night and still no better in fact I would say worst. I cannot look at any streams as they play for a second then stop, Gaming is out of the question. So I though I would come here for a moan. I know it's pointless as NTL dont care.

murfitUK I know of others who get poor asdl in Stoke, Looks like the phone system is in as bad shape as the pot banks :)
