Can you tell me about the status of the Cwmbwrla router.
I did some tests which varied from 520k to 620k when the connection seemed to be reliable but overall it seemed little faster than 150k and never froze. So if that continues to be my experience then I shall downgrade.
Speed tests to my mind are unrealistic and do not reflect real surfing speeds, NTL reccommend one and not another.
There was no problem before I upgraded now Email is half the speed it was last month, where is the test for that. What is the speed when the system slows down freezes and ends the test.
As I said I have no problem logging on but sometimes things slow down to a crawl so I will do a a series of tests at different times of day for the next few days.

John.
where do ntl advertise 4 times the speed? according to their adverts 150K bb is nearly 3x faster than standard dial-up Internet not 4...???

600K being 10 times faster blah blah blah

upgrading your speed is not going to cause your speed to decrease - an certainly wont suddenly overload the ubr. if there is an oversubscription issue then you would have had problems on 150k too.

any news monkeybreath?
