OK, I see some people have them signatures that tells us our ISP and browser, and mine is saying ntli.net? I thought it was ntl.com?

EDIT: Or is that my network blocking it off?

Those signatures that purport to be reporting your IP are flawed, in that they are actually reporting one of the various caches you may be routed through.

I remember them saying ntl.com before, never had ntli.net before though

Check the list on Robin's pages - bearing in mind ntl are constantly upgrading pending the imminent speed increase

wrong

running docsdiag, i get these results...

Code:

Configuration TFTP Server            = 62.254.96.21
Configuration filename               = ntlhm100-silver.cm

...i've heard ntl uk users claiming that they get the same.

while the management situation may have changed, the technical setup certainly has not. here's the result of a traceroute from my house in dublin to a website which is also hosted in dublin...

Nice one engineer, 750 mb here we come

oops 750k even :o

Chrysalis · 13-07-2004, 21:49

although im on the 600k package and this is good news for me this is the 3rd slap in the face for top tier customers, seems like mr hussein really has a good influence at ntl.

What about the poor old 150k users?

Earlier or later still?

Not the same here, my 'local' DHCP server is the TFTP server...

Code:

DHCP Server address                  = 62.254.128.20
Time Server address                  = 62.254.128.20
Configuration TFTP Server            = 62.254.128.20
Configuration filename               = tera210x-bronze.cm
