I don't know if you've agreed with me or not

adsl has always been advertised as upto...... (I have always considered it so)
NTL has only recently started advertising its speed this way. could this be a reflection of the fact they knew their network couldn't cope or their intended actions or policy's would have a speed implication.

Ok its 1825hrs in the BN area, and yet again

Iam on 4mg.

Your Connection

I'd be delighted to get that. This is my *4Mb* at 19:33 in S-o-T:

Trying to do get some work done over VPN is excruciating :s

1st 512K took 10922 ms = 46.9 KB/sec, approx 386 Kbps, 0.38 Mbps
2nd 512K took 6328 ms = 80.9 KB/sec, approx 667 Kbps, 0.65 Mbps
3rd 512K took 6344 ms = 80.7 KB/sec, approx 665 Kbps, 0.65 Mbps
4th 512K took 7219 ms = 70.9 KB/sec, approx 584 Kbps, 0.57 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 576 Kbps, 0.56 Mbps

It's been like this in the evenings for the last week or so.

1st 512K took 6141 ms = 83.4 KB/sec, approx 687 Kbps, 0.67 Mbps
2nd 512K took 4406 ms = 116.2 KB/sec, approx 957 Kbps, 0.93 Mbps
3rd 512K took 3188 ms = 160.6 KB/sec, approx 1323 Kbps, 1.29 Mbps
4th 512K took 4859 ms = 105.4 KB/sec, approx 868 Kbps, 0.85 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 959 Kbps, 0.94 Mbps

hopefully after the planned works and upgrades are over tomorrow it will go back to normal

Fleetwood Mac · 13-09-2006, 21:05

Just done a quick check:

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 21:03:08 GMT

1st 512K took 1208 ms = 423.8 KB/sec, approx 3492 Kbps, 3.41 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1132 ms = 452.3 KB/sec, approx 3727 Kbps, 3.64 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1129 ms = 453.5 KB/sec, approx 3737 Kbps, 3.65 Mbps
4th 512K took 1114 ms = 459.6 KB/sec, approx 3787 Kbps, 3.7 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3686 Kbps, 3.6 Mbps

This is the best result I've had in ages. At last. Let's hope they keep it up. Anyone else looking better this evening?

I also are having problems in stoke, Just ran a trace route to a game server I use after having problems and got this back.

looks like hop 3 is struggling and It seems a lot of hops inside NTL as well.

MatTman · 14-09-2006, 04:03

my connection has been utter crap for the last 6 days now too, very erratic speed tests and my Download speeds are half what they used to be.

have rebooted my STB countless times.

looks like hop 3 is struggling and It seems a lot of hops inside NTL as well.

I don't think 10 lost icmp replies out of almost 2,800 sends could be classed as struggling.

Deathmaker · 14-09-2006, 12:03

As usual, in the day time speeds are what they should be:
Thu, 14 Sep 2006 11:57:26 GMT

1st 512K took 1094 ms = 468 KB/sec, approx 3856 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1093 ms = 468.4 KB/sec, approx 3860 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1079 ms = 474.5 KB/sec, approx 3910 Kbps, 3.82 Mbps
4th 512K took 1093 ms = 468.4 KB/sec, approx 3860 Kbps, 3.77 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 3872 Kbps, 3.78 Mbps

Give it until 5 or 6pm, then watch those speeds plummet.

Ah, 4Mb TW in Donny... That's actually working :O

Somethings working right tonight, im normally down to 2mbps by 7.30pm...
Lets hope it stays like this

Blade187 · 17-09-2006, 19:36

Did it stay like that for you? Been running like a 1 legged dog for me at night still.
Particularly bad tonight, speeds tests vary between 33k modem and 256k isdn equivalents (I've got a 4Mb line). Just done a tracert to BBC.co.uk and got this:

Trace complete.

Don;t suppose anyone can see if there's anything at my end that's the problem. It's getting really frustrating now

Nick_15 · 18-09-2006, 20:28

Monday night and still no better in fact I would say worst. I cannot look at any streams as they play for a second then stop, Gaming is out of the question. So I though I would come here for a moan. I know it's pointless as NTL dont care.

murfitUK I know of others who get poor asdl in Stoke, Looks like the phone system is in as bad shape as the pot banks
