Just when I thought it was ok, guess what! It went again. Off for a couple of hours (and I was midway through a Nero update d/l!!) How long will it be on for this time is anyones guess!

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

It's off again (as of 8:30 this morning) :(

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Interesting to note that the problems as stated on the Tech Support line (for all of those post codes) are not listed on the Service status page of NTL! Don't know if my connection problems have been fixed yet (still at work!) I'll know in the next hour or so.....

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Back on at home, but still really slow. Dreadfully slow in fact! Might be quicker to use dial up!

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Yeh still the same here also, wonder if ill see BB Service 1.5mb on my bill this month!

As Service would'nt be the term i'd use for it.

This is from Mirc in the last hour:
[9:37pm] * Disconnected
[9:37pm] * Attempting to rejoin channel #3comm

[10:18pm] * Disconnected
[10:18pm] * Attempting to rejoin channel #3comm

[10:52pm] * Disconnected
[10:52pm] * Attempting to rejoin channel #3comm

People in channel's now call me bunghi!!!

Yep, the Service Status page is quite crap :( :rolleyes:

My Engineer comes today, I will post the results of his visit.

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Just had a Lightning strike very close by. Im gonna guess the engineer calls off (guess I would not blame him)

Off a goes the modem just in case.

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Just got a phonecall from TS "Problem at UBR 1 has been fixed"

At last ;)

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Interested to read this thread. My post code is CB1 3SU. Am on 600K broadband and today, I had intermittent messages to the effect that "the connection was down" followed by "connection reconnected at 1000 Mbps".

Re-booting the modem eventually stopped all this - can anyone give an explanation, please?

My connection is fixed also, engineer swapped modem out... got nice shiny silver jobby.

Shame im back at 1024 but ... it seems stable.

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Back on about an hour ago (or so) not tested the speed yet. Here's hoping it lasts.....

Re: [merged] Connection Problems PE27 3 (& Cambridgeshire)
 

Here is the result of my test!

Fri, 20 Aug 2004 18:32:55 UTC
1st 128K took 5579 ms = 23494 Bytes/sec = approx 195 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 6546 ms = 20023 Bytes/sec = approx 167 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 7032 ms = 18639 Bytes/sec = approx 155 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 5015 ms = 26136 Bytes/sec = approx 217 kbits/sec

Not quite 600/750 i don't think...... :(
