Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

Talking of which, a few people on these alleged trials have done speed tests and achieve 8.2Mbps downstream, yes? Someone posted further up the thread...

Any indication of the achieved upstream speeds?

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

was about 60k

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

That would suggest 512kbps... not bad, if it is just a trial. :)

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase

*On the morning of Tuesday the 1st of November between midnight and 6 A.M,
Service upgrades and network rebalancing across the country will result in a brief loss of service for all customers.* i wonder what that could be... it never usualy effects everyone...!

"I heard a little whisper the other day that the 1st of November is going to be the day, just wondered if anyone else had heard anything??"

id foudn that i meant on ntl:hell but i found it on the forums any way

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

My ntl installer just sneezed, that means that everyone at ntl are going to get a cold in the next few days.

C'mon people, if you have been keeping an eye on the service status page over a long period as I have (I remember & prefer the previous site design) you'd be aware that the service message in question is posted up practically every month, I've seen it mentioning nationwide rebalancing a few times now.

Besides, the update mentions UBR upgrades & rebalancing, nothing more, nothing less.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
 

have to say i agree with you i dont think it means anything

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
