Well yes, but seeing as the cable system was built from the ground up with these services in mind, surely it should be better able to cope with whatever they throw at it?
I have friends who are now quite happily using ADSL services that provide stable speeds of 10meg with 700k upload, on BT's network, which also provides god knows how much traffic in just phone calls.
I mean NTL seems unable to provide a good solid 4megs to a fair few folks on these boards.
I am no expert which is why I asked. But many freinds on ADSL usually comment with things like, "your cable disconnected again? your email is down again? they can't even give you half the 10meg speed" and so the list goes on, while they sit happily using thier internet connections without ever waking in the morning and wondering if it's still up and running.
But I digress, this is way off topic and I was asking while I was bored waiting for my 4meg connection. Was just curious. But in my eyes I think if either should be flakey, it's the old street cables carrying ADSL.
Out of curiosity (again) what would be the percentages for those who are with NTL for the internet, and those who have TV as well?
