Re: *ALL* ntl 10Mb Discussion (Part 3)
Well I had to phone NTL a couple of times to get them to realise that my speed upgrade hadn't gone through properly. Yesterday I got lucky and was put through to someone in Cardiff. They removed and re-added my cable modem from their end and bang, I was on 10Mb. Then my problems began...
ADSLGuide showed my connection speed as around 8Mb, which is fine. However, when I jumped on my news server my speed had crashed completely. I used to sustain 3Mb constantly from it, around 360kbps. Now it ranges from a max of 250kbps down to a measly 8kbps... I ran a long ping to the news server and it came back with an 18% loss. I've just checked my regular gaming servers and they've all got around 60% packet loss...
Reading a number of posts in this thread it seems I'm not on my own... Has anyone had any joy in getting this poor performance fixed, or am I stuck with new 'performace'?
Just done another speed test at ADSLGuide and now show very poor results, is this what I need to expect in peak times???
Downstream 668 Kbps (83.5 KB/sec)
Upstream 130 Kbps (16.3 KB/sec)
Many TIA for any info or pointers.
Klaus
