I have an NTL250 modem and I upgraded from the 24.99 pachage (2MB) up to the 37.99 and receive the 10MB service I only upgraded last thu/fri all worked perf until today. My speeds are all over the place getting results as low as 1MB and under!

Should have stayed on the 2MB service as I was on that for months and I never had any probs at all!

Teach me for being gready. I would recommend to others to wait before requesting the upgrade.

Anyone any info on routers - do their WAN ports tend to be 10MB or 10/100?
Looking at the Belkin F5D7230UK4, but none of the info I can find states the spec for the WAN port, just that the LAN ports are 10/100.

Yeah i just checked, one site said I was on 1mb and ADSLguide said my downstream was 166k, so I am guessing thats more like 2mb. Im sure it used to be 3mb im sure cos I used to get downloads at 250k/s which is more like a 3mb line. Although I have tried a few sites and they all came back with ~160k/s.

The funny thing is I just downloaded a 20mb file (latest driver from nvidia) and I was getting ~240k/s. When I had a 512k I was getting about 40-50k/s, when it went to 750k (I think it was) i was getting about 75-80k/s and all of this judging by the output from IE. So I am a little confused, I know compression can be used but I wasn't using any download accelerators just IE standard. Maybe its just IE reporting the speed wrong or due to compression it is calculating the speed... I dunno but I am guessing I have a 2mb line from the speed tests.

I've been given one for a DTV fault, the broadband was interferring with the TV and causing it to freeze all the time. Have had numerous engineers out about it, and even had a new cable pulled etc and nothing stopped it, so they are moving me on to SACM

240k/s is 2MB.
