Upload speeds

Hi i am on Telewest 1mb and I am getting these speeds.. Are these correct, As I really want my upload to be higher, If i go on 10mb will it upgrade my upload?

Downstream
962 Kbps (120.3 KB/sec)

Upstream
120 Kbps (15.0 KB/sec)

Re: Upload speeds

Your upstream is correct. On the Broadband Complete and Broadband Elite packages however your upload speed should read around 384kbps. (45 KB/sec)

Obviously this is subject to line loss.

No it isn't there's no 'line loss' on cable, it's not the same as DSL there is no distance factor that should affect speeds.

Re: Upload speeds

If the Telewest 1MB service has a 128kbps upload (and I think it does) then that is correct.

Going up to a higher level would give you a quicker upload speed.

Re: Upload speeds

Yeah it should be pretty instantaneous, it just involves them sending a new configuration to the modem and it should reboot on its own
