3mb slow
 

Hey,
I am on a 3mb line on a STB and I am currently downloading at 50KBps I tried downloading on different servers but to no avail, anyone have any suggestions?

I'm sure one of the experts who use broadband through a STB will be along soon to help, question though, would a stand alone cable modem be any better for you to use?

Well i never asked customer services as they just connected me straight to my STB as I have digital television with them too.

Don't know for sure if it will work any better through SACM, but might be worth ringing them, and see if you can have one fitted. Although, they may or may not charge an extra fee doing it this way.

Re: 3mb slow
 

Well I ahve never had any problems with a STB so I don't really think that I need to change it.

Re: 3mb slow
 

Never suggested you do:)

My question was: would a stand alone cable modem (SACM) help you with your speed problems?
This SACM would be used in addition to your existing STB, not instead of, if you follow.

Im saying I have never had any speed problems with my STB so I think it could just be something wrong with it do you think i would ring NTL up?

Re: 3mb slow
 

No harm in that, good luck:)

Make you mind up! ;)

Sorry, this is just the first time I have had any problems with my internet, not bad considering I have had my internet with NTL for like 3 years :)

you haven't been a naughty boy have you?

Re: 3mb slow
 

Have you tried chaning the proxy you are using?

Re: 3mb slow
 

Perhaps he's overstepped his cap by what NTL deem to be too far and thus they have dropped him down onto 512k for the rest of the month like they said they'd be doing

Re: 3mb slow
 

Maybe, I have been downloading a bit :)
