How can Netguard Affect internet speeds! That's weird.

Confirm the firmware upgrade for SB4100. Just rebooted mine and it is now downloading merrily at a consistent 1.2MB/s ADSL speedguide also confirms full 10Mb down speeds.

In the nicest possible way....... in your face to the people who swore blind the SB4100 wouldnt do it even after I posted the official specs.

Very happy bunny here now........

Quite easily, its examining network traffic going in and out and using up CPU cycles, if the Computer (or the software) isn't up to analysing 10MBit of data every second then it will cause a bottleneck.

Since my firmware upgrade my modem has rebooted itself five times now
Hope there's not a bug in the upgrade

Thank you Ian, its good to hear the 10mb service and the SB4100 work ok. Im going to reboot mine to see if I get the firmware, and maybe the service upgrade at the same time.

Cheers

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

Where do you get the firmware upgrade for SB4100 and what is it's number? Anyone on 2Mb/s get upgraded to 10Mb/s yet in the Grimsby area?

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

I'd already upgraded to the 10Mb service but was only getting about 5.5Mb until I rebooted my modem this morning. I'm guessing you only get the new firmware if you've upgraded, not sure.

The details in my SB4100 modems help screen are now:

Software Version: SB4100-0.4.9.4-SCM02-NOSH
Hardware Version: 0
MIB Version: II
GUI Version: 1.0
VxWorks Version: 5.3

The software version is completely different to what it was.

Hope this helps.

The firmware upgrade will be sent to your modem by ntl. Don't think 2mb users are being upgraded till next year, unless they upgrade to the 3mb / 10mb service

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

Nice to see ADSLGuide news have chosen to ignore the fact that ntl are now offering 10mb yet have added a 10mb option since the ntl upgrades have started and probably have been swamped with more speedtests then usual.

People are upgrading via the site/phone to receive the upgrade rather then just getting it.

Re: *ALL* ntl 10MB Discussion (Part 3)

Anyone else find it a disgrace that new customers get the 10mb and the loyal customers get **** all? Yeh, it's upgrading itself on the 1st of December (apparently) but myself, being with NTL for a few years now have to wait for the upgrade. Plus, it's only available to new customers because its a way of attracting more customers and more money for NTL. So, having existing loyal customers on 10mb won't attract more custom? Yeh right. Naff off you *****!
