Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

Has there been any responce from NTL?
I am getting very pis*ed off with it, browsing from my PC is soooo slow!
And as for repeatedly getting disconnect from XBOX Live is the final straw!
I live in Hemel Hempstead btw

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

I am in Hemel and I'm not having any issues with disconnection or browsing speed. You may have to look a little closer to home for your solution. Have you contacted CS? The signal levels on your line might need adjusting or your SACM might be borked. I have had to contact CS for faulty broadband twice since I subscribed to the service, and, in that order, those were the problems. Neither of them are something NTL would know about unless you ask them to investigate.

They know what causes the problem it is the Luton proxies which Hemel uses.

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

Now nearly everyone has gone to bed,the service has improved (just) to what it was at peak evening time......

So i need to be nocturnal and unemployed to get the best from my service?

Great job ntlosers!

Goodnight.

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

Well, I've upgraded the firmware on my router, browsing seems OK, i'll try live later

Very true, and I have long since changed my proxies. However bennyboyammo is getting disconnects with his Xbox, and the proxies do not intervene in that service.

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

But if the upstream is congested & overcrowded (which we pretty much know it is in that area), then he will get lag, & ultimately disconnects on XBOX Live.

:( I was looking forward to a bit of Gotham 2 tonight, oh well, anyone know of any other providers in the Herts area?
(ps, I don't have a BT line)

Ben-you need to understand a bit more how ADSL works.

Once you have your BT phone line for DSL, you then have the world of choice when it comes to ISPs, & you are not limited to location-it doesn't matter where you DSL ISP is located (within reason obviously!)

Follow the link in my sig, & also take a look at www.adslguide.org.uk for more info.

HTH.

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

Sorry, I was editing my post as you replied, it's not that I don't want BT, it's the fact that I don't have a BT line

Did somebody flick a switch somewhere or something?.My browsing has improved 1000% since yesterday morning!!!.....and it's still very good this morning.

Just wondered.

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

I am also getting disconnects from xbox live (well I was last night). Living around the Stevenage area

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

But you can get one very easily.

Has you house ever had a BT line?-if so, BT will reconnect you for free. :)

Re: Hertfordshire Area.....problem?
 

Does anyone from ntl actually read these posts? because if they do i got a message for them:

"Sort out the oversubscribing in hertfordshire plz"

Thanks,bye
