Doesn't prove much dude only a small file and Firefox and IE start downloading as soon as you click the download button but only start counting when you've decided where to put the file :)

Best I got on 3Mbit was around the low 360s which is about right :)

EDIT: Worse still on 10Mbit the best you can hope for is around the 1150 - 1180 mark, not even 1200 :p:

How high do you want to go? Thats off a bt business 512k connection that can do 64kb/s

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I get 364KB/s on mine....

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Further to other's comments above, it also looks like you're getting that file from an ntl site, so you'll be getting a slightly distorted view compared to downloading something from outside the ntl network. Admitedly, there might not necessarily be much difference, but the higher the number of hops involved, the lower your speed will be.

Looks like telewest customers in scotland have been upgraded to the 10mb today.

Come on NTL pull ya fingers out.

ntl has three times the work to do. Stop comparing. :rolleyes:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

if anyone's wondering about what the upload speeds might be - the telewest 10meg top tier and their mid tier are both increasing to 384k - obviously all that tells us is the technical aspect means you can get away with 384k on a 10meg downstream.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

You will get the upgrade when its ready. All this whining complaining and sniping will not make it arrive any quicker.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Well In that case NTL also gets three times the income that telewest do and should be able to cope. They have no excuses.:mad:

For gods sake you would think your life depended on it.

:LOL:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

And your problem is?

I can only get 2mb from my exchange so ntl customers are far from being the worse off. L in my office has to use dial-up as the best speed available :(

Out of curiosity what package / price did you sign up at?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

being useless ----- im on 2meg will i ever be on 10meg ...
if i upgrade today will i be on 10meg sooner?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Yes if you upgrade to 3mb you'll be upgraded sooner as 3mb customers will be the first to be done.

Though 2mb and 1mb customers will be upgraded at a later date.
