Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

as far as the headend tech knows Luton has not been done, although areas served by the Luton DHCP may have been done.

Hi Cobbler

I am in Swindon also and still waiting for the upgrade. According to postcode checker for my area it says September! I think and hope its wrong!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

For my postcode it says, congratulations you have been upgraded but i aint.

Oooo speedtests!

Here you go:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

From work is just cheating tbh... :p:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

This is getting a tad silly now .... ;)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

same here aswell

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Oooo... So you want cheats from work?
Don't make me try...

Seems a tad slower than last time, maybe are actually people working today... (uh-oh...maybe i should start one day) :angel:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

meh how many people is that connection shared by? ;)

Anyway, for whoever thinks that getting the same results on robin walkers speed test is very rare, ive got the same results 3 times over yesterday + today.

Every time it was always 1534...:erm:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Then it seems that you are very rare! :dozey:

Actually I find it quite suprising that the NTL webserver(s) in fact have enough bandwidth to host a speedtest...

P.S. Robin Walker (the guy who made the speedtest) uses this same connection to read his emails ;)

4th 128K took 203 ms = 645675 Bytes/sec = approx 5372 kbits/sec

I find the test from work comes up with very inconsistent speeds, guess thats the result of many sharing the pipe.

Hmmm, someone must be pushing the right buttons somewhere :D, lets see how long it will last

Looks like a call to ntl later.
