Deathball, as your modem shows you are one a ten meg connection, I think you are using a cached version of the test. Did you click "refresh" on your browser at any point?

Angry... still having issues?

Fu**ing astounding!! Does anyone know any other ways of throwing money down the drain?

The name is Angry....Mr Angry.

Forgive me, but you just brightened up my evening with your humour!!

best laugh I've had for a while. (I know what you mean about NTL speeds!)

10mb

my hairy rear, there is more chance of me being prime minister
and married to Jessica Alba with Jennifer Ellison as my bit on side, then there is
of that ever hitting 10mb since those 20mb trials I've barely seen about 8mb.

speeds tests proove nothing anyway.You need to test with a multi threaded download manager and a good server.

if he does can I have some too

AndrewJ · 21-11-2006, 00:25

Zingle normally I hit about 8 even 9.2 mb on there, ever since those 20mb trials begun my speeds dropped down to about 6mb maybe 8mb in spurts.

21-11-2006, 00:27

so you think your speed loss is down to the 20 meg tests then? No one could have the tests anywhere near me then cuz off easynews I always hit 10 meg and nntp with giganews I always get over 9.Ok today ive had a flakey proxy but nothing that couldnt be sorted

I am noting that the drop in my speed occurred asap those tests started.

PowerUser · 21-11-2006, 15:03

Erm I think deathball defo has something amiss there, 40mb connection but only getting 140 ms pings er yer ok!. they should be well down to 18ms at that speed. Even my 10mb gets 93ms on the test.

P.s look I have a faster cache then you!,

1st 128K took 15 ms = 8738133 Bytes/sec = approx 72701 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 16 ms = 8192000 Bytes/sec = approx 68157 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 15 ms = 8738133 Bytes/sec = approx 72701 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 16 ms = 8192000 Bytes/sec = approx 68157 kbits/sec

Cmon lets all be serious for once, eh!

Bertie_MB · 21-11-2006, 17:04

I'm om 4MB and get a result of 3844kpbs down and 376kps up from speedtest.net, can't complain!

gc7 · 21-11-2006, 17:15

Ssshhh, don't tell ntl you're getting full speed or they'll flick a switch.

I'm on the 10MB and my speeds for the past two days have been painfully slow. This is the result of a speed test done just before posting here 235 kbps down and 479 kbps up.

What's the title of this thread again, Hooray! for NTL 10mb.

You're 'aving a laugh.
