Your mate is talking utter nonsense, online games won't improve in ping if the connection is 10mb or not. Also not one person with NTL has 10mb yet (as stated by others too). If I were you I'd give your mate a wee slap for telling porkies.:p:

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Does anybody actually have any ideas of when it will start? I heard that it will be completed by november? Could sombody please give some details lol. Thanx

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

hello im new but ive been reading posts about the upgrade and im surprised that 1111 ppl replied but none of them got 10Mb upgrade yet i find it sad and for tw 148 ppl replied n i think 25% must've got their upgrade.. i think ntl will not launch this year probably next year and i was thinkin why did they announce it 1st? jus to look good ?:( well i hope im not wrong

Welcome to the site RoNa7dO :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

The upgrades are meant to start around December and it will be for the 3MB custs first.

I found some of your post hard to follow due to your txt spk, can you please try to write properly, welcome to the site btw.:)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

thanx.. well lets see if they really start around december or there will another twist lol

I think what he's talking about is games like Halo 2 look for the host with the best upload. Obviously if you have a better upload you are more likely to host and therefore have a compeltely lag free game. Obviously having a better upload doesn't give you a quicker game per say, so his description either way is completely **** about face. I think i just sort of know what he was getting at??

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

A point well made, didn't even think about games like Halo 2 etc. Ah well you live and you learn.;)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

hi any one know when newport/cwmbran will get a speed upgrade?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

No one knows when anyone on NTL will get any sort of speed upgrade, yet. :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

ok thanks for letting us know

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Thanks for the responses guys - as I said, until now, I've had no reason to not believe him; it appears he's spoofing, so I'll give him that slap or get him to get me some hard evidence...

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

A screenshot of his download speed would suffice I think;) Best to stick with that slap though:)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

This is what I have been mentioning in my last few posts but not many have been catching on. The real danger here is if you have say a dozen or so people trying to push more traffic then the ubr can cope with whats going to happen to live applications that are dependant on latency it is in real danger of been sporadic and going through the roof. Ideally shaping needs to be done that favours udp/icmp and small tcp packets over large tcp packets.

Download speeds I would expect to be very variable rather then the flat speeds we tend to see now you might be downloading a 200meg file and it maxes at 10mbit for a few secs but at some other point of the download it might drop to say 300kbit, I think we will be seeing a lot of this sort of stuff happening.

The problem here is it isnt time of day based so whats stopping everyone using 30gig a month only during peak time periods and bringing the ubr to a standstill?
