Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

May not be at home but yes I can if I need to :)

Anyway nice OT bit there will leave this to get back on topic.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I know you cant directly answer this but I guess its fair to say from this that NTL have got more then 76 users per downstream meaning contention on the 10mbit product is higher then it is at current, how much higher only a few people will know. I heard that when the 600kbit service was standard ntl were pretty much running at around 15:1 which is pretty good for a residental service so the price we paying for higher burst speed is lower quality of service ie. higher contention.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

based on their own rules (ie. the contention ratio of 20 to 1), if they put (for example) all 10meg users on a 38meg downstream then they will have to limit it to 76 users. alternatively they could bung more users on and revise the contention ratio they use.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

can you point to where they specify 20:1 as I have never seen ntl advertise a contention ratio.

rghit so i need to shoot some of my neigbours then

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Well...I guess thats an option :D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I dont think they advertise it but that's the level they work at.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

It definitely used to mention 20:1 on the ntl website. Not sure if it still does.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Well if you work it out this way, max possible download on 10mbit = 3200gig, cap of 75gig on £37.99 then max traffic possible equates to 43:1 contention ratio and thats on the top tier.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

It did for Ireland, when NTL Ireland was under NTL's control (I believe it was actually 17:1 there).

Hasn't in the UK for a long time. :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I think the stopped mentioning it as contention on cable is different to contention on DSL

If that merger is true then what what will happen to NTL's new 10mbit? Will it be priced at the same as telewests and have no caps?:dunce:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

BUMP:D

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

I know so many people on telewest now that have been upgraded that get 1.2MB/s downloads and ntl hasnt even told anybody about the upload speed yet lol. I think all the people on NTL will be waitin a LONG time.
