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

I think mine is similar to Sage. I've checked the STB and it says "QOS-Bund 03.cm" - I think it happened when I turned the box on and off the other evening.


Using the speed tests gives me very varied results:

2.22Mbps (download) 234kbps (upload)
(varies between 1-3.5Mbps, 200-440kbps)

450Kbps (download) 300Kbps (upload)
(varies upto 1200Kbps, and 200-300Kbps)

1st 128K took 219 ms = 598502 Bytes/sec = approx 4980 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1015 ms = 129135 Bytes/sec = approx 1074 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 141 ms = 929589 Bytes/sec = approx 7734 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 187 ms = 700920 Bytes/sec = approx 5832 kbits/sec

180-350KiloBytes/sec



Most of the tests I've done show that I'm averaging around 2Mbps, although Robin Walker's one is more encouraging.

Before the reboot, I consistently got readings just under 3Mbps - on all of the above tests. Now I get anything from 450-7000Kbits.

Still, at least it's working even if it is at erratic speeds. I feel I should be thankful for small mercies...
