Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

fair enough.

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

I am guessing plusnet style shaping then.

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

I cant think what else it could be other than traffic shaping.

I thought you weren't a fan of Indian call centres? https://www.bethere.co.uk/generalFAQ.do

"...our call centre and technical support are based in India."

my eyes rolled when I found that. :td:


I'd done a search and I'm right you're not a fan!

Well if he had a choice of ISP A indian call centre ISP B indian call centre ISP C uk call centre but crappy bt wholesale adsl, I would think he go for ISP A or B.

No doubt it will be over done so anything not http is like a 256kbit service. Isp's that shape tend to think they have a choice of no shaping or shaping to the moon and back.

I think shaping should be used to maybe save 10% or so traffic but not used as an excuse to not upgrade infrastructure and wipe out 80% of your traffic like plusnet did.

At a guess, Bill's local network could have just been resegmented or the hermits dling teh isoz 24/7 have gone on holiday or something.

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

most likely a reseg which will last a while until they upgrade the 2meg users to 10meg and then it'll be back to square one.

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

My net went down at 1am. Rebooted my modem this morning and was on new ip, checked ubr ip to confirm what I suspected and its different.

So I have either had a reseg or been moved to new ubr it seems. A big shock considering one wasnt scheduled.

Performance is the same tho.

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

Still cr@p?

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

Its not a reseg been confirmed to me was for a different reason. :(

They are trying to rule everything else out first.

Yes still the same.

Paul your server hasnt changed for BST :)

Also could locations be logged so speedtest stats published for diff regions?

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

I am also gettting these connection issues but only from one site which is www.easynews.com all downloads from that site were fine for about 1 week then they have drastically dropped of i am on a 10 mbit connection and i can only download from that site at between 10-15 kbs a second i have contacted NTL support and they have said that it is not there problem

Anyone have any ideas or experiencing the same issues

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

See http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=45727 for some things to try for Easynews connections.

I can get 500k from a single thread today using Level 3 on NTL.

Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling
 

Just got 10MB NTL today and during peak hours my speed seemed ok. Tried some newsgroups as well and it was flying at max speed, so far so good for me lets hope it stays this way (touch wood!)
