Should I be getting worried?
 

Iv had telewest broadbands 2mb for some while, and the max d/l speeds I can get is around 180kbps on a very good day, even with this supposed upgrade to 4mb I havnt notived any increase in speeds. Its been like this for about 7 months, so I just assumed it was ok until I tried a mates BT 2mb and I was hitting 250kbps which iv never hit with telewest:(
I have no spyware issues, so what could it possibly be?

Cheers,

Mike

EDIT iv just tried downloading a load of file using limewire, and I got 400kbps, now why is it when I do download speeds via my browser I only get 1mb line speeds???

The 2Mbps > 4Mbps upgrade is for ntl: customers only as far as i know not ntl:telewest ...

The 2Mb -> 4Mb upgrade for TW customers was sometime back in Feburary/March.

Yea I got a letter in the post from them saying its been upgraded to 4mb, so i guess that speeds not too shabby

Re: Should I be getting worried?
 

i wondered about that im on 4mb and get about 250kbs so i rang by and they said thats normal... dont see how but would be nice if someone could explain

Re: Should I be getting worried?
 

Yea its only over the last 2 weeks that its now gone up to around 500kbps so im more than happy...although iv had to put up with shockingly slow speeds for the past 6 months :dozey:

Telewest is "up to"

Re: Should I be getting worried?
 

telewest have been 4mb for a long time some months.

limewire is awfull for geting full speeds due to people not sharing
