NTL Ripping us all off
 

As you know there are different speeds 1mb, 2mb and 3mb, can anyone tell me if anyone actually gets there true speeds, I have seen in the poilcy that it says "upto" but NTL is the worst company for not giving out there true speeds, I have upgraded to 3mb and I am damm annoyed cus I am getting 2k more and that should be 5-6k more than I am getting now.

NTL have been ripping us all off for a while but it's pointless complaining about it, soon as I get a BT line installed bye bye NTL, I ain't never coming back, 5 years I have taken this crap, well no more

WOW!!

I didnt know that at all, 2k more instead of 5-6k more I bet that hampers your enjoyment of the internet, I'd leave as well personally that service is terrible

I'm sure they'll really, really miss you :rolleyes:

Is this guy for real? Sounds like a wind up to me.

"Up to 2Mb" applies to ADSL as much as to cable, I've just run 12 tests on my 2Mb ADSL line and got an average of 1667.

I'm sure I'm thick and it is early but.. what do you mean 2k more, 5-6k more etc.. I don't get it.

Speaking for myself my 2Mb service works at the quoted speeds, up and down.

Re: NTL Ripping us all off
 

10 tests on 2M ADSL avg 1976
10 tests on 3M Cable avg 3275

using Robin's speed test and averaged results to make them more manageable

well within specs allowing for overheads

Re: NTL Ripping us all off
 

I got the following using Robins Speed test..!

I'm guessing this is typical for a 2mb connection! Anybody confirm this !!

1st 128K took 541 ms = 242277 Bytes/sec = approx 2016 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 530 ms = 247306 Bytes/sec = approx 2058 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 541 ms = 242277 Bytes/sec = approx 2016 kbits/sec

No problems with that Mog

As i have said in another thread it must be cold under the bridge or its the troll mating season :)


And here's my test

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 08:24:23 GMT
1st 128K took 359 ms = 365103 Bytes/sec = approx 3038 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 360 ms = 364089 Bytes/sec = approx 3029 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 359 ms = 365103 Bytes/sec = approx 3038 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 344 ms = 381023 Bytes/sec = approx 3170 kbits/sec

Now i do think that is about right dont you, So i will not be taking NTL to court today.

Got these results on 2meg NTL:

Tue, 15 Mar 2005 08:33:13 GMT
1st 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 532 ms = 246376 Bytes/sec = approx 2050 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 547 ms = 239620 Bytes/sec = approx 1994 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 515 ms = 254509 Bytes/sec = approx 2118 kbits/sec

Sometime drops to around 1920-50, but never seen it any lower than that.

LOL I cant believe how many people humoured this clown.

Re: NTL Ripping us all off
 

So clear off to ADSL then! Simple.

Very slow, please do not throw any more food under the bridge.
