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. |
Haha small world! Yeah id imagine u are on the same one bein so close! It sucks dont it after 4pm!
Well thats a shame I got my hopes up that these upgrades are new pieces of hardware being installed and rolled out to increase capacity..
. My upload is always pretty solid!
They must know about this... it doesnt take much to notice that routers and central pipes are struggling to bare the load. I dont expect to have 10Mbit all the time... NTL have alot of customers, I was expecting to see a slight drop in speed during peak time.. but for a drop down to 2mbit is just a joke.
Email support about it and they blank you about what your saying with NTLs network overloading. Instead ramble on about speedtesting whats the best sites and how NTL dont support speedtest sites... hmm i didnt ask about speedtesting. Im not silly... i know that not every site/download will fill ur 10Mbit of bandwidth available it depends on on the source. But when you have 6 different downloads from around the world and ur still getting 2mbit.. something is wrong. Then after midnight comes and boom.. full speed.
Very true.. how on earth are they gonna be able to supply all these new and up coming streaming media through their network if such poor performance is how things are at present.
Ive only been with NTL for less than a month, and already im not happy how things are, the thing thats alarming is that theres no word form NTL about this massive problem they have.
Im grateful that during the small hours I do get max speed. But hmm I wanna use my internet to the fullest in daylight hours like any normal person.
