Re: Any word from employees about capacity issues?

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..

You probably go into the Seven Kings UBR like me
I get the same as you, UK sites are great full speed, but any peering involved and nine times out of ten its crapola time after about 3-4pm.

NTL know, but they don't care.
Whoever looks after the network needs to go on some courses to see how to do their job.
