Dire browsing in Peterborough

[Wicked_and_Crazy]

Anyone else having browsing problems? 1 minute im getting 2mb the next its about 600k and thats if it responds at all.

I thought it was just me.....Does seem to be hit and miss at the minute

[Wicked_and_Crazy]

my pings are fine according to Dan Elwells speed test, its just downloading thats a problem. If i run dan elwells speed test the download test fails but everythnig else looks ok. If i run robin walkers speed test i get varying results from it not working at all to 3 out of the 4 tests working.

Tracert to the cableforum site times out but its way past leaving NTL

Downloading fine for me, its the actual browsing which is slow. I'm getting quite a few sites timing out before I refresh the page, then all is fine

[caroline]

i live in letchworth and my download speeds were excellent over the weekend but from monday have been terrible.

Those last hops are timing out for me aswell, but my browsing is fine. Oh and dodgy pings could be because I'm downloading

[wheelchairwillie]

i`m having the same problems oldham area.
i spoke to ntl and they gave me this address for
a speed check www.numion.com

[Wicked_and_Crazy]

just spoke to NTL, there is a problem in the cable 4 area (what ever that means) this may be affecting the cable 4 1 area too which im in apparently (what ever that means!!)

funnily enough they got me to run robin walkers speed test!!

[Chimaera]

We're having similar problems here too, ongoing for the last few weeks. Calling CS is no good whatsoever, the problem has been blamed on our router although removing it made no difference at all. Then on other occasions they have agreed yes there is a problem, and it will be resolved in 24 hours, or 48 hours, or 'soon', or whatever tosh they feel like telling you. I'm fed up with ringing them, and filling out the Responstek form was no good either - the reply I got (a week later!) told me to ring CS...................

i removed the router before calling them. I ended up getting through to india, they ran a few tests, gave me a call reference and told me to call CS in the morning if it hasnt fixed itself

FIXED ITSELF, now how is it going to do that???

Im on 10MB in the swansea area and I am running at just over 1MB after doing several speed tests!

Nothing new though after all this is NTL.

Edit:
Spoke to soon im now running at 800k
