Re: *ALL* ntl 10Mb Discussion (Part 3)

Since before chrimbo mines been terrible, it was fine on 3 meg, but either way its bad news now, ive been on the phone, and its been escalated to level 2.
heres my test, they all look like this.

1st 128K took 2062 ms = 63565 Bytes/sec = approx 529 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1297 ms = 101058 Bytes/sec = approx 841 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 4250 ms = 30840 Bytes/sec = approx 257 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 8141 ms = 16100 Bytes/sec = approx 134 kbits/sec

Ive just rang back, [as nobody rang me back as promised] i've just had my next door neighbour round, and both theirs, and another further up are all as bad. It seems the case is still open, but the chap i spoke to said the 10 meg has given some problems.
Personally mine sounds more like a local fault, just hope it gets fixed, its been like this for almost 2 weeks now.
Just tried the Paul Marsden speedtest:

1st 512K took 27547 ms = 18.6 KB/sec, approx 153 Kbps, 0.15 Mbps
2nd 512K took 24656 ms = 20.8 KB/sec, approx 171 Kbps, 0.17 Mbps
3rd 512K took 37578 ms = 13.6 KB/sec, approx 112 Kbps, 0.11 Mbps
4th 512K took 53141 ms = 9.6 KB/sec, approx 79 Kbps, 0.08 Mbps

Almost as good.
