I assume that the places listed are the areas bounding it's perimeter. I never realised what a large area Baguley server covers.

Have look at the coverage on this Samknows maps link.

Looks as though Bromleys been updated today.

Config is 10 meg and getting increased upload speed, downloads using BBMax are a bit hit and miss at the moment but hopefully will stabilise.

Are you sure it's been updated. Mine appears to be the same

davwil · 17-06-2008, 18:23

Well it has been in my area (Bexleyheath) - which is on the Bromley platform.

Getting 9.9 MB downloads now on BBmax.

Try 192.168.100.1 and root/root (user and password) to have a look at your modem config. Look in operational config/Downstream data rate - should be 10240000 if it has been upgraded.

shayr1992 · 17-06-2008, 18:45

Oh yeah, it's 10mb. It only changed when I rebooted the modem. Sorry, it was just that it was showing 4096000 when I checked after your post

Started downloading a 1Gb file and been capped already to 2Mb...I new this 10mb upgrade would be a trojan horse.

you are supposed to have a higher STM download limit when they switch you over to 10M, guess they messed that up as well.
Still stuck on 4MB Here in the POOLE area.

800mb is the STM for 10mb...i think lol 700 or 800 one of them...still 4mb here in birmingham...

I assume you mean they've started upgrading areas on the Bromley platform, not that all Bromley areas have been upgraded? I'm in Leeds which is Bromley platform and still on 4Mb.
