What modems are currently given out by NTL, and what are the maximum speeds they can receive and send out over the CAT 5

Re: 20Mbps News?
 
So there are threads here on Cableforum, ntlhell & digitalspy regarding upgrades to 20Mbps for 10Mbps customers very soon...
... people have even reported that their upload has been upgraded to 500K on the 4Mbps service (up from 400K) confirmed by an ntl employee on ntlhell as being upgraded to the 500K upload on the 4Mbps service.

Perhaps ntl are now going to upgrade so people think Virgin Media are awesome....

Where as I find my "outdated copper" gives me a stable and fast (around 15.5Mbit) connection where Ntl couldn't give me a working connection let alone speeds approaching 15.5Mbit.

Lets not get into this ADSL v's Cable again. Shall we just say each to their own?

Cool, I was wondering why my upload speed was slightly faster yesterday. :)

The annoying thing is, I can't check what my upload speed because I have a Terayon modem. :(

Yours is probably easier but http://www.bandwidthmonitorpro.com/ might be more accurate and i wouldn't be without it.

Did the thinkbroadband test and I got 0.4Mbps upload through wireless. So, I was probably just imagining it yesterday lol ;)
