Best NTL modem?
 

I still use the Terrion, I guess they now have new ones ?

Should I carry on using this modem, or ask for a new model ?

I bought the Terrion when NTL started, so paying £19.99 instead of £24.99, however the pressure is on for me to pay the full amount now, I have until November :mad:

So can ask for a new modem

If youre paying for it, ask for a new one, youre entitled to it!

Are you allowed to use your own modem if you buy one?

I told them my Motorola was dead and they sent an engineer out to fit a new one.

No. You have to get the modem from NTL. Originally the customer was aloud to pay £150 for the modem which then entitled them to a £5 monthly discount on their NTL bill. This has now been removed.

I was using a Terayon modem but the ethernet port suddenly gave up (I didn't buy the modem) - I now have an ntl:250 which is loverly! :) Its blue and small.

Kev.

Also the Terayon can't do the full 10mbit just like the Motorola 3100, so if possible it's best to get it changed somehow.

Get an ambit 250 from them.

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

as above ,had a 120 it is not capable of 10 meg in my opinion ,got a 250 ,well within capabilities, also got a samsung STB 2100 i think ,what can this do ,got a baby now ,`puter room gone ,it is now a now a nursery

any advice appreciated ,

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

2100 will do about 6-7 tops.

thank you for the reply

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

So what are they sending out these days ? are they better ?

I have 2 Terrions (Long story) and they are both working, but only one of them in use (MAC address enabled) so I guess I could switch back if they sent a rubbish one out :)

I almost bought a US Robotics at the time, but 3Com took over in the UK and they went very high cost.

No you cant buy and use your own these days, although I think you could get a DOC sys modem enabled just buy its MAC address, after all the TS would not have a clue :)

Just wonderd what bad modems were out there

Sound just what Im looking for, a nice blue modem, to hell with if it works or not ;)

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

NTL:250 (the small blue one). And it's capable of handling 10mbit perfectly.

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

Upto 36Mb if i read correctly (James Henry i think it was uncapped one in the office)

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

Does anyone remember the 3com CMX? Best cablemodem evar!

Re: Best NTL modem?
 

Hi,
this is interesting, I (as quite a lot of others) have been suffering during this 'upgrade' period with slow or dropped connections. I have a Motorola 3100 modem bought back in the old days and am currently on 2Mb which is now being upped to 4mb i assume.

Could this be a more likely cause of my problems do you think, (rather than NTL just being crap obviously)?

Are the Ambit 250s Ethernet modems?

cheers
