Ping statistics for 212.58.224.131:
Packets: Sent = 22, Received = 15, Lost = 7 (31% loss),
Approximate round trip times in Milli-seconds:
Minimum = 17ms, Maximum = 29ms, Average = 21ms
I too have been thinking about downgrading to 2MB but judging by your experience I would be wasting my time. |
I changed from 10 meg down to 2 meg simply because i could NOT get the full 10 meg in my area. I have tried everything that tech support suggested and that i would have told a customer to do when i worked at NTL but no joy. As soon as i moved back down to 2 meg i was sorted and i get 2 meg consistently 24 hours a day. When and if NTL fix it i will move back to 10 meg. But at the moment i would sooner pay for what i am getting not for what i could be getting.
