Re: An open letter to NTL.
Arh now if you hadn't mentioned the news groups having full speed Bill, I'd have said congestion.
One way to ruleout shaping my friend. Hows your ethereal skills, you can take a look see at your packets.
Fingy I'm sure you know loads, I've been taught a thing or two by a lady before today. Never put yourself down mate, even jokingly

Re: An open letter to NTL.
Ta, I do know lots, usually random facts. As for Mr Angry being a big girls blouse, umm, no comment... he knows where to find me!
I am however having to use proxies lots recently as my webbyworld is crawling.

Re: An open letter to NTL.
If browsing is slow Fingy, have you tried TOR?
http://tor.eff.org/
This combined with a simple Firefox extension makes using proxies easy.

Re: An open letter to NTL.
It's slow on my laptop, my pc and hubbys pc. Hubby uses some other browser, would love to tell you what but he sets the font so small I would need a magnifying glass, or to borrow dillis binoculars.

Re: An open letter to NTL.
Possibly Opera, Fingy?
TOR can be used on any browser, I use it on Firefox as Firefox has a TOR button extension. And it saves me from playing with my beloved Opera settings.

I get the same as Bill C, but i don't have a speed issue as i always max newsgroups. And that speed test is terribly inaccurate for me lately, so never trust speed tests especially as it's been known for my virus checker to slow it down.

Re: An open letter to NTL.
Couldn't agree more snoopZ, I don't have faith in online speed tests at all

I get 1200kB/s. Glasgow.
Which is why my current problems are so bloody frustrating. See my post at the bottom of http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...php?t=33604151

Re: An open letter to NTL.
Gawd, this is so painful recently... not been having any problems until about 2 weeks ago, whereby download was gradually decreasing. Like Bill, Giganews wasn't affected ...until now. Can only get a measly 16KB/s tonight of my 10Mb connection 
Trying to do various speed tests, but the pages are taking minutes to load, let alone me actually perform any tests. Tried downloading something via mirror.ac.uk and it was maxing out at 19KB/s.
If this carries on much longer, I'm gonna have to consider getting my line checked for ADSL. If I wanted dial-up speeds, I wouldn't bother paying NTL £35 p/month. Come on, NTL, sort it out please!
