2nd 512K took 1516 ms = 337.7 KB/sec, approx 2783 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2829 Kbps, 2.77 Mbps

Hope ntl can maybe update the config to increase the speed.

How do I reboot a ambit 100 cable modem.

Ta
I'm in the same situation here in in Stafford. I've been upshifted to 4Meg, but only getting around 2.5Mbps average on an ntl100. Let's hope there's a firmware upgrade coming soon.

Well, I'm at work at the moment and I live in the ST5 (Stoke/Newcastle under Lyme) area so hopefully I'll have 4mb when I get in on my rickety 120 modem.

How do you reboot a modem - why, you turn it on and off by the plug you do!

Just noticed I too have been upgraded from 2 to 4 meg (Middlesbrough) and did the speed test:

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 11:41:27 UTC

1st 512K took 1406 ms = 364.2 KB/sec, approx 3001 Kbps, 2.93 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1484 ms = 345 KB/sec, approx 2843 Kbps, 2.78 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1499 ms = 341.6 KB/sec, approx 2815 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps
4th 512K took 1500 ms = 341.3 KB/sec, approx 2812 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2868 Kbps, 2.8 Mbps

I have the NTL Home 100 modem.

My speed is not as good as some of you on here, is that beacause of my older modem?

There is one big problem I have noticed since the upgrade which was not there before, I could carry out downloads and browse the web at the same time before without any slowdown when browsing.

Now when I download and try to browse the web the browsing is so slow, if I stop the download the browsing goes back to normal.

I know they have had to do some fiddling to get the older modems up to speed but is this one of the things they have done?

If so then should I ask for a better modem?
Do you use a router? This may affect your speed test.

Look like the speed upgrades follow the timetable shown on http://www.ntl-isp.ntl.com/ServiceStatus/

On the morning of Thursday the 15th of June between midnight and 6 AM,
Network upgrades will result in a loss of service in Southampton, Swindon and the surrounding areas

Hopefully Portsmouth will be upgraded on the 15th... :dozey:

Reset my Samsung STB and got the speed below:

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 14:23:31 UTC

1st 512K took 923 ms = 554.7 KB/sec, approx 4571 Kbps, 4.46 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1563 ms = 327.6 KB/sec, approx 2699 Kbps, 2.64 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1516 ms = 337.7 KB/sec, approx 2783 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps
4th 512K took 1532 ms = 334.2 KB/sec, approx 2754 Kbps, 2.69 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3202 Kbps, 3.13 Mbps

Manchester area but I'm due for a cable modem and 10mbit since I cancelled DTV. A person on the same street as me gets 9.62 Mbps through a ntl home 250 cable modem.

I'm getting around 475 KB/sec from my newsgroup news server though. Can the Samsung STB handle speeds faster than this?

No upgrade here yet in Stoke-on-Trent (ST3) just to let you people know.

If that is the case - then why hasn't Oxford been upgraded today?
