You will never please everyone unfortunately. Personally "and this is not the plan BTW" i would just traffic shape the upstreams :), Now would that create a stink or what :D . Please note that as far as i know NTL DO NOT TRAFFIC SHAPE. So please don't quote me as saying they do :D

I use the newsgroups when i do download . Can fully recommend newshosting.com for when you need a linux iso :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Only just read this thread. Does anyone know what the monthly charge will be for 10mb?, I currently pay 17.99 for 1mb, new customers get away wih 9.99 for 1mb, and 2 & 3mb users pay more..NTL's press release just says at no extra charge..bit confusing...any ideas?

'cos you've got a hell of a lot of linux iso's stored haven't you ;):D

I suspect that will mean you'll get 10 meg at the same price you do 1 meg now.

I think NTL are going for 1 speed, but differing cap levels.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Well here is a dumeter snapshot of me doing some experiments.

speed left of graph is ftp on high port right of graph is http

Left of graph is download of a ftp on a high port, and the right of graph is a download of the same server from http done at around 9pm, this is on 2mbit.

After mega tweaking and setting rwin ridicously high at over 250000 can get it stable at 220kB/sec and after 1am this increased to 240kB/sec.

Speedtests from robin walker site wont be fair representation of ntl's external capacity performance.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Does any1 have any ideas at when NTL will start the upgrade? I hope its not too long from now....

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

The further away the better. Unless bragging rights suits you better then stability.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I meant how long until the network will be able to cope with the new speeds :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

NTL will say it can already cope, and for their average user who just uses http it will cope.

right now I am downloading of a 100mbit server at steadfast, as usual I am the only user having problems with speed and needing to use 2 threads to avoid massive fluctuation in bandwidth.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Anyone know what the current upload speeds of the 3mb service are? Im on 2mb and can get 175kbps.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

300k
