After cancelling a BT Broadband 8mb service, as they could not supply the speed here in Whitleigh PL5 I signed up with Telewest for the 10Mb service and have made four calls to Telewest already about poor speeds. I have been receiving blistering downloads of 1Kb per second !!! and a maximum of about 56Kb on average, occasionally it has peaked to about 900Kb. But this was when I was asked to check download speeds whilst on to the Telewest Fault reporting desk!!!
I have had my Cable modem changed from the original Webstar DPX100 to the Motorola SB5101E but the download speeds are still only about 150Kb on average.
The Broadband engineer has referred my speed problem to Networking at Telewest Broadband, so watch this space!!!
