I got fed up with it and have just signed up with pipex

Sherlock614 · 11-09-2006, 20:21

Poop for me at the mo (Cheshire).

Have noticed pings have been bad last 3 days or so. Just did a speed test and it was one of the sub 1mb varieties

MatTman · 12-09-2006, 03:15

im in surrey and my speeds as of this morning have been aweful, im lucky if i can get half my pages to load today and still no sign of improvment.

Which isnt too bad, because web speed tests are 100% and i can get my full 10mb from newsgroups.
But come 5pm tonight and ill be down to 1.0 mbps

The network is seriously up **** creek

Comfortably Num · 12-09-2006, 20:03

20:32 and I'm on 10 meg in Colchester

Downstream 354.8 Kbps ( = 0.3 Mbps )
Upstream 474.1 Kbps ( = 0.5 Mbps )

how can ntl say that there is no problem?

Blade187 · 12-09-2006, 20:14

Experiencing the same problems in S-o-T as the other guys. 4Mb cable just comes to a standstill in the evenings for me recently. Currently getting a download speed equivalent to about a 256k line.

Anarki · 12-09-2006, 20:36

ditto most others im wirral, baguley i think its called.
terrible in evening.

murfitUK · 12-09-2006, 20:44

Well, I had the BT engineer out yesterday who did a line test. He says that it is poor quality and the most I can expect to get is a max of 1meg broadband and nowhere near the 8meg that I wanted!

Looks like I'm stuck with ntl as doesn't seem any point in moving from one sh*t service to another.

There's obviously a problem. I can't understand why no one at ntl seems to be able to admit it.

taylorig · 12-09-2006, 21:48

Same here in Bolton, Lancs. 4mb choppy all round

And quite a few friends around this area have been getting disconnected. Not got the full info on this if it's a modem fault or the actual service

But only seems to have started happening over the last few weeks.

Zee · 12-09-2006, 21:51

Its been happening for the last week and a half here, its not just an area issue, its an issue in the whole NTL network, it must be if loads of people are complaining now...

Yes - but at least BT didn't lie and tell me I'd get a speed that they weren't capable of delivering!
