Even if it's a new modem and not been used before?

Nope, not under any circumstances.

In fact - if it's brand new then I would question it's legality.

now you see... I have an NTL:100 (silver jobbie) and I get download speeds of 1.16Mbps consistently, which, as far as I am led to believe, would be in line with a 10Mb line.... any comments to correct me...???

Now the problem i have is that on 2mbit I got a pretty constant speed on downloads and now that i have "gone on this trail" it can vary from 1mbit to 8mbit depending on what speed test I do and at what time. Downloading files from UK Server with 1000mbit links is very erractic indeed and can get as low as 36kB/sec where as before i upgraded it was always constant at about 200+ no problems.

After a long chat with TS, my theory is that a few factors are coming into play, everyone who is getting the 10mbit is downloading and thus flooding the network - this been to test out there new speed. The other thing is they may well be working on the back end (as TS said) and this also could account for the problems.

My plan is bascially sit tight for say 1 month (mid Dec) and see what happens in regards the speeds of my SB4100, if it sticks at 4mbit then they said they will replace the modem with a NTL250 Model..

EDIT - Just did various other Speed tests and my theory is correct I think, I am getting Speeds ranging from 1mbit to 8mbit so this would say the SB4100 can handle the 10mbit no problems...

I have the same modem and a linksys bfr router and it does 10mb no problems 9.8 in the newsgroups most of the time anyway.

Rang ntl up today and ask them if i have been upgraded and they said yes to 10mbit
im using the silver modem ntl200
Download speeds are still 3mbit around 350-360kb/s

So am i the only one with a ntl200 thats not working or is there a fault

Killerv, i am using the same modem via ethernet and rang up a few weeks ago to get upgraded to 10mbit.

Atm the speeds i am getting during the day are around 3.5mbps and right now(ringing cs right now) am getting a paltry 1.5mbps down!! and as the auto upgrades are being rolled out i would have thought i would be getting much higher speeds as im not even getting the 3mbps down i was before the upgrade!!

Ahh just spoke to cs and then ts(even though the ts guy was abit abrupt and sounded fed up to be there..) he said that adsl speed tests are inacurrate and should try to download say a large game or patch file and see what speeds i get then.

The download speeds i got the where at first 1.16mb/sec(10bmps) to 792kb/sec(7.5-8bmps.) so i am getting the correct download speeds so ive learnt that those kind of speed tests above are inacurrate..:-).
