can i view my BB bills online?
 

hi all, i was wondering if i could get my account details online just to see how much im actually paying for each service i have, coz my brother has the dial up service, i have the 128k bb?(i dont see any info about 128k anymore on ntlhome.com) i have the STB too.

also is it worth upgrading to 150k service?

thanks.

Welcome to NTHW

AFAIK all 128k customers were automatically upgraded to 150k some time back (Same time as they introduced the new prices).

You should be able to access your on-line billing details via the links from the main http://www.ntlworld.com page as long as you have the correct username/password details available.

EDIT: Ooops missed the m in "com" my bad.

E-Bill isn't available in all areas but you can try here: https://ebill.ntlworld.com/CommonEBill/

davegnr - Sociable is quite right, but missed the "m" off the URL, which should be http://www.ntlworld.com/
Go to "Your Account" / "Your Bill". You might find that the e-bill is not available in the area of your francise though.

thanks for your help, unfortunately its not available in my area.

one more thing about my bb service, how can i check if its 150k? i dont remember anything about NTL telling me about upgrading my package.

davegnr - Try Robin Walker's simple speed test :

You can test your speed here.

or press Page up, Page Down, Blue on the STB remote to bring up a menu then look for QOS: bronze.cm

1st 128K took 4400 ms = 29789 Bytes/sec = approx 248 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 5110 ms = 25650 Bytes/sec = approx 213 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 5600 ms = 23406 Bytes/sec = approx 195 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 6810 ms = 19247 Bytes/sec = approx 160 kbits/sec

is that any good for 128k?

Re: can i view my BB bills online?
 

All look great for 150k in fact if anything you appear to be getting better than expected results :D

The 128 k at start of each set is the ammount of data sent not speed btw.

EDIT: Looks like your ave speed is closer to 200k probaly due to data compression and or the data being in a local cache :D

Re: can i view my BB bills online?
 

lol, its the last bit that you need to look at not the bit at the beginning of the line it say that for everyone. Yes thats very good for 150k too good are you sure your not on 600k :) your averaging 204k. Try repeating the test by clicking repeat from source server on the test page.

Re: can i view my BB bills online?

Re: can i view my BB bills online?
 

afaik '150K' subscribers connecting via STB in some areas actually get a 256K downstream.

Gaz

Re: can i view my BB bills online?
 

Still! I thought they changed that but looking at the result again you might be right.

Edit: Now when davegnr comes back they are going to be p*ssed off their connection is running slow. You should have kept quiet and they would have been happy :)

Re: can i view my BB bills online?
 

just an update EX-CWC STB customers can not see there bill on line also in ExCWC STB customers on 150K are on 256k to enable the stbs to function with the interactive stream. Or something like that i am sure Justanothernoob or BBK will correct me on this.
So if you have a SACM in ex CWC its 150K a STB is 256K.

On 600K they are both the same
