In the real world, you would have thought NTL before they introduced 10mbit either for testing (the fabled TRAIL) or real - would have made sure there was enough bandwidth to handle XX users on 10mbit and below. No-one has answered my questions which I asked AGES ago:
How many users are connected to each UBR?
How Much bandwidth per UBR is allocated per D/L and U/L
If these figures comes forth - then we could see if the network can indeed cope but maybe they are hidden away for a reason? All I know is that Before the 10mbit every hit the shores, 2mbit was pretty consistant but as soon as the 10mbit came into force - the speeds have shot down (I have a mate few doors down still on 2mbit) and also they have gone to crap for me (10mbit). If you try the same stuff @11pm onwards - the speeds are fine - could not get any closer to 10mbit if you tried. This tells me the network cannot with-stand 10mbit - simple as that !!
In fact Ill tell you what Ill do for a week or so, Ill DO a speed test from the Irish Site, ADSL Guide and from here and produce a chart showing the speeds come flying down during the day and shooting back up at night
