Over the last 24 hours or so it is almost too slow to be usable What is strange is that Speedtest.com gives reasonable values (12-15 Mbits) - however real time surfing is slow. Even Cable Forum page loads can take 30 seconds or more.
Done the normal stuff (modem reboot / PC Reboot etc).
Just wondered if this is just me or are others in the area finding similar results. I can actually surf at better BB speeds using my Vodafone mobile modem (is working 3g+ in my area just now).
cheers

Below is the recommended Downstream power levels for both NTL Platforms and you are much higher than both of them at 8dBmV on QAM256
Bromley (exCable & Wireless) Downstream power levels +6dB to +8 (QAM 64) +2.5 to +5.5 (QAM256)
Langley (NTL area) Downstream power levels -2.5dB to +2.5 (QAM 64) -1.5
to +2.5 (QAM256)
You need to call up Tech Support and tell them whats happening.
