Not bad at all Slipstream.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Thanks for the new speed test, much clearer now :D

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

lets face it its less than two weeks untillntl's network dies (all 3megers are auto uped) i deread to think how poor te service willbe over that first week or so for the rest of us as al the unknowing 3megers run countless speed tests to check that they've had the upgrades

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

BTW, if anyone is wondering, the new service is not actually 10 Mbps, the config files show that they have chosen 10240000 bits/sec, which is actually 9.8 Mbps. :)

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

9.765625 Mbps:)

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

So then they shouldn't advertise
Coming soon 10Mb Broadband with 75GB monthly usage allowance!
on their web site

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

Shouldnt it be Mebibits? :)

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

If you want to be pedantic, no, but then, they are using the evil version of megabits, which uses thousands instead of 1024s, well, almost, they did for the upload for 3meg, but It doesnt explain the 10240000, gah, *runs*

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

10.24 Mibps :)

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)
 

yep true 10 meg whould be 10485760
