Hi all..

Any word on when NTL will be upgrading their routers/backbones? This capacity problem during peak times is just unacceptable. Im aware there are some of you out there that don't experience any problems and get 10meg or close to it all the time.

But for me and quite a few others its doing my head in. My 10meg connection slows to a 2meg during connection during peak times. This isnt a local capacity problem. The prob is futher up with NTLs main routers me thinks. As when I download a file that is local to NTLs network (my webspace) I get 1200kb/s max speed!

Why isnt this getting fixed? Surely NTL can see this problem...

The network rebalancing thats appearing on the service page alot, anyone know exactly what is being done? My area (Goodmayes) hasnt come up as of yet..
