Neil, look aswell, its a demand thing aswell, thats really bad eh? At least ntl actually give the speeds to everyone
Looks really shabby to me, not to mention the fact that 8mb isn't 10mb like ntl |
They give to everyone?
You mean they send the 10meg config out but dont supply the actual bandwidth to everyone I think that is a bit more accurate.
BT had a problem where the users were synching higher but speeds were locked at 2meg on their profiles (yes I read up on these things) and they appear to be working on it fast as people are posting higher speeds now, I suspect this is what happened to this guy.
Also on BT 2meg adsl they have a min standard that if speed was below 400kbit then they treat it as a fault. 400kbit been 1/5th of 2meg so if they use the same margins for 8meg then they might treat speeds below 2meg as a fault. Which is something ntl dont do.

http://www.samknows.com/broadband/ also shows how BT make their exchange contention levels public green/amber/red. Will we see the same for ntl's ubrs? answers on a postcard please.
