10meg has been rumoured to have plans to have the upload increased to 1meg. it hasn't happened.

Just logged on here in Swansea and the modem (ntl 120) now running at 4meg.

I read Mick's answer about Set top boxes but was just wondering if any swansea or the upgraded areas have bin upgraded on STB's yet? I am on merseyside so still no upgrade yet but when the upgrades come around here, it would be nice to know if the stb's are getting sorted just a couple of days later. If this is the case then happy days but, if not, omg why me????

[Fingy]

Cardiff, Swansea and Belfast do not have broadband through set top boxes, they are stand alone only areas.

[tubbles]

Thanks fingy. This does not look good for us STB users then does it? I always wonder why certain areas get upgraded first and that shows why. I hope that this does not lead to troubles though. I believe that the Samsung STBs can go as fast as 6mb so it may not be a big prob for NTL.

I am in the merseyside area so does anyone know how i find out what NTL area that i am in? please don't say merseyside lol.

I wish I was getting some of those speeds above - due to a power failure locally (See the Service Status Page) 10Mb in Nottingham currently looks like this:

1st 128K took 16984 ms = 7717 Bytes/sec = approx 64 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 40891 ms = 3205 Bytes/sec = approx 27 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 6141 ms = 21344 Bytes/sec = approx 178 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 17218 ms = 7612 Bytes/sec = approx 63 kbits/sec

If the leccy's failed, what's powering the UBR's? Is there a peddle powered emergency generator in the exchange being peddled by a rather pee'd off engineer
