I checked my UBR and its not even loaded heavily so where the problem lies is no-mans land. I have two choices - i downgrade to 600K service (which will take me 3 weeks now) or switch to ADSL - again stuck with NTl for the duration of the month no matter which way i look at it.

We bow down to your superior knowlege oh perfect one !! Sory to waste your time....

And you wonder why people are annoyed with NTL -- hmmm.

I understand this is not a offical NTL help desk thing (if it is - im shocked) and maybe im so conditioned by the whole thing is probably why i just typed without thinking - can you blame me?

My PC is set up as far as im aware fine - the reaosn i say this is becuase before i pressed "upgrade me" button speeds where fine. I had the forsight to for exmaple try various sources to see if it was NET related in that the sites i get stuff from maybe were slow for example but like i said - the speeds vary from 60k/sec anywhere upto 120k Sec (which is normal for a 1mbit line). They tend to run 60-80 most of the time.

I checked for exmaple that I have received GOLD package - i could have stil been on silver for exmaple. The games i play had no lag and now they do - ever since i upgraded funny enough.

I have a Motorola Surfboard 4100 - thats Stand alone - wired via ethernet running on Windows XP pro.

I also mentioned somewhere there i Checked the loading on my side - that also is fine - not overloaded at all and on the bext channel it seem.

With the replys i got - it seems a sensible idea that maybe NTl aint the best option then becuase i have tried Cable modem Support (who said it all looks fine to me sir), IRC and now here as a last resort before looking for a ADSl supplier.

In a way im lucky - why? becuase i am not in contract, all i need is one month notice and i can get ADSL as well which is by the way from what i have looked up so far cheaper to be honest.

So thaks all for you wonderfull help......

I have always thought that Cable Modem support phone calls should be free, (if its a general NTL network fault you should be credited, especially if you have to wait over 45 mins listening to an automated voice apologising & telling you that NTL loves you)

Back on topic
If your only getting 60-80kb/s on NTL's Gold service then there is a problem somewhere. (If you change isp's and you get the same speeds for a 1meg service then you will know where to look).

In some areas changing isp's because they are cheaper than NTL it doesnt mean you will get faster speeds etc. The internet does slow down from time to time & other isp's do have problems with their services.

Save your breath m8

He knows far far more than you paul and me put together !!!!

We tried to help and all we got in return was a big

Mauldor - have you considered apologising and asking politely for asistance ? I think you will find that we are very forgiving and will help you as best we can. !

Wrist slapped - sorry keyser but I agree with paul..

What is the point of behaving like that - It gains nothing.

Why should we try and help and get nothing but contemp in return ?

Sadly it seems that this is becoming more common. Some people are of course pleased to be helped - but it seems some are not. It has certainly lowered my enthusiasm to assist.

Mauldor I would n't bother with download managers they are all pants

try downloading from tucows blueyonder or easynet servers and then p;ost your results

edit: apoligies for the welcome perhaps we have got off on the wrong foot

nthw

threadbare · 24-01-2004, 14:47

gone? oh well

Mr.Moony · 24-01-2004, 14:50

Yes indeed download managers can be great but can be rubbish. Perhaps checking the transfer rate on this (my favourite) will be of some use.

Good old SB's are great, have you had a good look in the internal config to check the correct s/l has been received by the modem? View here for more information.

I've always been dubious of download mangers, how can they increase the speed of something that is finite? appart from setting the correct MTU size what do they do?
