Re: NTL Speeds and Throttling

yeah they dont prove anything, too many factors involved. Also the fact my ubr is poor anyway makes it even harder to diagnose since general contention is causing slow speeds anyway.

I would be patient if one was scheduled but when you get told the ubr isnt warranted an upgrade and its bursting at the seams it changes things.

some points to give to you.

they lied about the capability been in place, so this to me discredits anything else they say. If I worked for ntl and had to stick to a NDA to the company that puts food on my table I would do the same thing.

their is static routing in place over ntl's network for different area's and it is also clear different ubr's are seeing vastly different performance, so given this I would suggest it is possible on heavily utilised routes and ubr's shaping might be used whilst on clean routes traffic is been allowed to flow freely, it is also clever if they do this since if one guy proves his conenction is great all day long ntl cant be shaping at all right?

Of course its entirely possible there is no shaping.
