Same speed test as post #1336 but using Firefox as opposed to IE. Noticed this difference prior to upgrade - anyone any ideas why? Please move if a another thread more appropriate.

Got 4Mb here in DA8. Was on 2Mb but came here and read everyone was on 4Mb so I've just rebooted the STB. Now I'm on 4Mb.

Yeahhhhh!

Listed speeds look very consistent across the network, looks like it has been a job well done.... again. :tu: :tu:

Not bad for a crap company eh? ;)

Living in bedfordshire...
Was upgraded from 1meg to the 4meg tier yesterday when calling NTL.
Ever since the upgrade, my internet has slowed down to a snails pace most of the time.

1st 128K took 2172 ms = 60346 Bytes/sec = approx 502 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 2344 ms = 55918 Bytes/sec = approx 465 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1296 ms = 101136 Bytes/sec = approx 841 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 922 ms = 142161 Bytes/sec = approx 1183 kbits/sec
Pathetic really, averaging around 512k to 1mb access, ocasionally giving 2meg speeds.
