Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

It has been wildly inaccurate for some people yes, but it looks like it may well be accurate for you!

Either way-it's coming, so be patient (I thought parts of Bedfordshire were being trialled for the upgrades early, but perhaps someone like BBKing can shed some more light on it?)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Northampton has been upgraded.
Just running a proper speed test now. :D
quicker upgrade than I expected

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Thats why i was having problems then. Anyone know if this has been resolved?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I'm in Leeds (Bromley) and am now up to 750k :D

The connection died early this morning, with the modem-connection light on the STB not showing. It connected surprisingly quickly after a reboot and after different test I can confirm the upgrade :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

The Andover (Hampshire) area has recevied the upgrade.

Rebboted my CM last night and i now have 1.5Mb!

Yeah!!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Do you have a link so I can find out when my area is due to be be upgraded? (I'm also in Luton)

Thanks

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I forgot all about this happening then I looked at bit torrent last night and it was steaming along at 175KB/s

1st 128K took 719 ms = 182298 Bytes/sec = approx 1517 kbits/sec

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Heh, i'm in blackburn and still on 150k...
I wouldn't be surprised if they did Blackburn with Darwen at the same time. im on stb by the way

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I live in Derby with a 600k SACM connection, not been at home since Sat, can anybody tell me if Derby has been upgraded please?

Thanks. I'll be back home later tonight so hopefully it shall be done!!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Just re-booted my modem, speed is 266kb/s :D :D :D :D :p: :p: :p: :p:

Still a bit slow though, it's more like 250k at the moment.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Pages load up in less than 1 second, god I'm not used to double the speed :erm:

BB Upgrade Poll
 

Thought I'd add a Poll to this thread - to gather numbers of members who have been upgraded so far. :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

The net seems slow at times, i hardly ever browse the net any more.

ROLL ON UPLOAD SPEED :P

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Looks like i've been upgraded. I seem to be downloading at at least 80kbps - its 87.6kbps right now. West Sussex, by the way.

This is great, thanks NTL.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Been upgraded now! :D

i've got some nice speeds... :)

EDIT: Downloading at around 33KB/s on download accelerator (was 29KB/s), bit better, but browsing is much faster.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Mine is running slow, the download speeds keep jumping around 20-30kb/s :erm:

Hopefully it gets fixed.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

wow this is quite funny.
Ive just downloaded an ISO at over 1MB/s
do they have to temp remove the restrictions? Ive just had a taste of the potential of cable broadband

Edited. ok im worried now. I just downloaded a 600meg linux ISO in about a minute.....

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

That sounds very strange, looks like NTL gave you too much bandwidth. Be happy while it lasts :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

nah :disturbd: :erm: :Yikes:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

:Yikes::shocked::Yikes: Woah, download everything as fast as you can, run out to the shops and buy more HDD's

Though Im sure if this is true, we'll hear from many NTL users with little or no service

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Could explain why some users bandwith is shot at if this is happening :(


Mines ok 187kbs alll day way

:cool: :p:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Still crappy 1MB for me......First august....now sept.......What next??

2005??

There are rumours of Telewest becoming available in my area though (northants).....3MB here I come¬!! !!!!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Weren't we suppose to have a renumbering in march?

Count yourself lucky mate

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

What is so crappy about it? It was fine until you realised you were getting a free upgrade. ;)

Can't/won't happen-areas are franchise specific, if you can get ntl you can't get Telewest-simple. :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Well i'm on 1.5mb and bandwith keeps dropping around 14kbs then recovers then drops on downloads and checked it via various other locations heck cant even get trailers from gametrailers.com without bandwith dropping right now.


is NTL having issues with there servers and this new bandwith? :dozey:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

:confused:

I have checked my bandwidth speed with the website link posted afew pages back and it confirms that I have been upgraded to 750k.

However, when downloading from Newsgroups, Du Meter is saying that I am still only getting about 60-65kb/s. This is strange because if I view webpages as well as downloading it goes up to 85-90 kb/s.

Surely the DL speed from newsgroups should be quicker? I use Free Agent Newsreader and connect to Claranets servers.

Any ideas?

:)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Try making more connections to newsgroups servers. Some are limited to 60KB/s per channel.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Yes!!! Upgraded!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Congratulations :D Here in Rochdale bandwith settling down probally storm or something but speeds settling down around 186-189kbs :D most suited.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

As far as I know Luton has not been done yet due to reseg work that is needed before the network will be able to handle the increased speeds.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Ahh, that explains it then. I am off of Luton and have not sen any speed increase.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I will try and get confirmation when I am back in work tomorrow for you.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Would that Include Biggleswade? As it shows luton on my Reverse DNS and I havent been upgraded, Thanks in advance :-)

Edit : if it needs a reseg, any date on when tis being done? soon? ages? moo? :p

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

moo??? :D

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Anything off of the Luton DHCP as far as I know.

I will check tomorrow to give you a definate answer though.

and the reseg work will be done soon we hope we have provisional dates but these have changed and changed again so many times we just cannot give customers dates although believe me we understand how frustrating it is for you, its just well out of our hands.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Thankyou very much, I dont mind not getting a definate date, as long as its not too far off, and not in November, :P

MOO! *runs

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I'm off the luton dns (have lutn in my hostmask) and on 1.5mb and people in the same town as me have been upgraded too, to 750 and 300k

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

well I never so many happy ppl on ntl all in the same thread ;)

It looks like ntl have done well here and also looks like the upgrade is not causing too many people problems, i.e crap speeds when upgraded (yes i do know some have but most havne't) this and an email from the CEO about the email issue. I feel rather ill :D

I have just noticed a lot of new people posting n this thread :welcome: and enjoy the site.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Where be you then? :p

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Where you from then???

I am from shefford and no speed increase as with Biggleswade from what stop it is saying!
i aint impatient I just would like to know when it will happen.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Guildford Done :D

600 >> 750 :D

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

My connection seems more stable now, thank god :)

Downloading at about 35.4kb/s, not bad :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hemel Hempstead has been done
I now have 330kbps at the moment though before I tested I didn't notice a thing.
For shame. Oh well.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Lincoln done but had to reboot on monday to get it 600 - 750. downloads around 89kbps for me

cheers

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Welcome to the site parkie :welcome:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hmm, the speed test suggests I've been upgraded. Odd though, web page loading is at a real crawl, and often times out. That's despite a reboot of the PC and STB. If this keeps up I'm not gonna be happy and it'll mean another phone call to ntl faults.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Try changing your proxys.. Most of Belfast was using Manchester proxys coz theirs ground to a halt.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Finally got onto the Cable Forum !

I got my upgrade but since then my DSL router has been a bit flakey... Ok it might be coincidental with the humid weather, but something strange going on.

Tonight I've been trying to get onto this thread by clicking on the link at the bottom of here: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/74/

However, 5 times in a row, when I clicked on the link, my DSL router froze, so half a dozen reboots later it seems to be working. what the frOOt is that all about !?

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hmm, upgrades... Hertfords done, needed to reboot the SACM.

speedtest at http://www.dslzoneuk.net/speedtest.php gives the speed of Your Connection as:
1.39 mbps which equates to 178.49 Kb/s
For the connection you selected, the optimum speed is around: 178.56 Kb/s

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I live in ampthill, so not very far from you at all, and all tiers seem to be upgraded here :confused:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I've been using proxies since a few hours after the upgrade, and i've noticed that less and less of them are useful! Today i'm back to using my normal Belfast cache, seems to be working ok. But i only changed because the other proxies were going really slowly. I think the network as a whole is suffering from the new speeds. I've just read threw the last few pages of this thread and a few people are complaining about slow speeds.

Just hold with it, they're probably having to shift a few things and twiddle a few dials. Belfast seems to be fixed now, so i'm sure your area will be too. In the mean time get the list of proxies off this site, and find ones that work best for you.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Still no upgrade in Swindon yet! :(

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I got the letter saying someone from NTL would be in touch to replace my set top box with the new Samsung one, the only problem is I already have the new Samsung box, I only joined NTL a few months back and got it from day 1 !!

Will the speed increase just happen for me, or do NTL think I have the old style STB and won't do me ?

I suppose I'm asking is it automatically done if you have the Samsung box already ?

The postcode checker has me down for August, but I'm still on 1mb currently.

Thanks

Ian

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Samsung and Pace boxes use the same file, so don't worry.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I currently have a pace box, which is not in use for tv (just bieng used as a rather large cable modem).

I asked NTL if i could swap to a modem but they said i would lose my email address!!!.

I am just wondering if my pace box will get the faster speed or will i have to wait till I get a new samsung??

Has any one with a Pace box got 1.5 MB ???

Cheers

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Daft question I know, but....

I have a motorola Surfboard CM, will I need to re-set in order to get the new config file, of will NTL remote reboot when they have done the upgrade ?

Also - can I check on the CM as to whether it has been changed, or just by using the speed checker. (My wife is often using the connection when I am home, so the speed test is not necessarily a reliable guide.)

Oh - in Bracknell -RG12 - apparently going to be done in august... :D

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Looks like Glasgow has been done ahead of schedule. Website said October, but reset my SACM today and its been done.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Thanks BBKing, I'll just have to be patient then :)

Cheers

Ian

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Some areas are meant to be october as the network is not ready for the speed increase yet. I think parts of Clydebank are where it is down as october, but as you see from looking through the thread many areas have been upgraded already even though they say october and november. I am in Castlemilk and was done on monday.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I'm Burnside mate so a stones throw away from you. I was probably done monday too then, just not noticed :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Southampton seems to be done.

Downloading at 88kb/s constantly :)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Swindon STILL not done :cry: :cry:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Worth pointing out that just because you have or haven't been done doesn't mean your entire area hasn't been done. Some areas are being done later because of capacity work or resegmentations. Hence the postcode checker, although this appears to be working on a random date principle at the moment.

No Paces or Samsungs will have 1.5Mb yet, incidentally.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

I dont suppose you know if all 1MB thru the STB will be done together do you? The checker for me says August , however I think that may be referring to 150/600/SACMs.

Or are you notified when a particular areas' Pace boxes have been swapped over to the Samsung ones ?

Cheers BBK

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Looks like Leeds had been done. I had HUGE problems uploading in the early hours of the morning (various times between 4 and 9am) - browsing and downloading was fine but as soon as I started an upload my connection dropped (sorted by a reboot.) Just now I noticed the speed increase when I downloaded something. Maybe my upload problem was a side effect of the upgrade in progress? (It's fine now.)

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Same here and im on 1.5Meg as well :)
Hemel Hempstead im in, strange thing is tho when I turned my pc on this morning had no internet....looked at Modem and it all looked well......

All I done was released and refreshed cable modem from router and and it worked fine!

Very strange

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

All I can say to people in the Luton area is make sure you reboot your cable modem and then check your speed :)

You may be pleasantly suprised :)

Are you chief adjudicator?
What do I care if you believe me?

What on earth would I gain by lying :rolleyes:

My connection is between 1.47 mbps & 1.80 mbps. I don't know how long or if it will last but it's been like this all day.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

The reason he thinks you are lying *COULD BE* because of the identical test results, I for one havent seen that done either, so do it again and paste them again, prove they werent fluke.

Oh, and what modem are you on? the 192.etc IP only works on certain modems, Otherwise check http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...ps/signal.html
to check how to do it.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

That sounds daft. Why would you lose your email address!? Such things are not tied to the modem you use (STB or SACM).

Sounds more like they told you a porky to discourage you from going for a standalone modem.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Actually, earlier i got 1534kbps for every one of the tests..so its possible, though maybe not 1.9mb every single time..

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Ill explain better, Look at your test results, they show each speed as exactly the same...
And basically, thats rare, and all I asked is for you to do it again, if its conistantly like that you have nothing to hide. If not, it was a fluke (Im not suggesting you are lying btw)

Knowing you modem is easy stuff, look at it, if its silver and says NTL home, its an ambit, if not then they are all branded, look at the back, then see how to diagnose it on the website I shown you (Btw the reason why, is because the modems are capped to certain speeds, they shouldnt go above them, not by much at least)

Im not taking sides here, but this IS a community, and openness is a step on joining it, be friendly and make friends, right? so your attitude doesnt suit, please, treat people with of tact, and you'll find a much better welcome.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

:LOL:

Like this one???.....

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Well as a Luton bod, pleasantly surprised I'm not as I have rebooted my modem and still no update :banghead:

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hi

I'm a nooby

I am in swindon and the postcode checker says i am upgraded but i am still only on 1mb.
could this be my problem

about 1 week after i setup my broadband i decided that i didnt like my email address so i created a new one and deleted my old one which was my setting up email address. i know it said i couldnt delete that one but i did anyway and seeing as my newly created one worked i didnt see the problem with, however, when i click on tthe upgrade my spped section of ntls website, it tells me that my email address isnt the one associated with my modem, and when i put my original setup email address in it says it cannot find it. so, i thought i would just recreate it but ntl says the email address is already in use.
Could this be why my modem hasnt increased in speed.

Cobbler

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hello Cobbler, :welcome: to the site, hope you find it to be helpful and a nice place overall, now onto your problem.

Swindon, as a few other users have stated, hasnt been upgraded yet.

Im starting to think someone messed up big time on the postcode checker, come on NTL, first you take far to long to communicate about this upgrade, now our means of finding our time for upgrade is either out of date or scarily wrong, not good PR...

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

as far as the headend tech knows Luton has not been done, although areas served by the Luton DHCP may have been done.

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

Hi Cobbler

I am in Swindon also and still waiting for the upgrade. According to postcode checker for my area it says September! I think and hope its wrong!

Re: [Merged] BB Speed Upgrades
 

For my postcode it says, congratulations you have been upgraded but i aint.

2nd 128K took 359 ms = 365103 Bytes/sec = approx 3038 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 844 ms = 155299 Bytes/sec = approx 1292 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 203 ms = 645675 Bytes/sec = approx 5372 kbits/sec

I find the test from work comes up with very inconsistent speeds, guess thats the result of many sharing the pipe.

:td: Well my speeds are still like a yo-yo, dropping out of video streams at 250kbit and downloads still no better than 22k per sec.. Thu, 5 Aug 2004 12:36:28 UTC

Hmmm, someone must be pushing the right buttons somewhere :D, lets see how long it will last

Looks like a call to ntl later.
