Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Mines a "Ambit ETH/USB Combo Cable Modem"
Came in a NTL 100 HOME box.
Althought it has 100M Full duplex ethernet port options, im getting this described 5 or 6 meg connection. So it would seem the Ambit's are not working fully with 10MB?
Anyone able to confirm over 1000k download's with an Ambit?
Got an ntl250 on it's way. That should sort it.

So you phoned CS and said your modem was only getting 5-6 Mbps ? and their sending an engineer out to replace your modem ?
If so i hope this is the scenerio i have with Ntl.

They cannot, they only have a 10Mbps half-duplex WAN port. The maximum theoretical value is 70-80% of 10Mbps download. BUT the user is unlikely to notice as its going to be difficult to get a speedtest site to stream fast enough to test. So my guess is that ntl will not upgrade their long standing loyal customers. My Terayon power supply seems a bit hot though it might overheat with the increased download? Can I register an ntl250 I have been given - was left in a house when the new owners moved in and ntl supplied a new one with re-install?

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
Well i was looking at the autoreg page and accidently clicked the upgrade to 10mbps button as i wasn't thinking it would upgrade me on the spot and was trying to get more info on it.
Well the modem rebooted and i can now report that my Motorola SB3100 can only get a max download speed of around 5mbps!!!!! as i had expected.
Looks like im going to have to phone CS tomorrow afternoon.... not looking forward to that. And thats only if the Ntls phone engineer arrives to fix my phone as it died at the weekend.
If anyones interested i was on 2mbit before.

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
LoL idiot, you cant connect a Modem to NTL's network without it being registered. And they wont register a Modem off eBay because basically it is more than likely their property anyway!

Re: Which modems work on 10mbit ?
No - get your facts right. Not if the modem is taken off the system and re-registered against the new user. Ive done it before, and i know the person who sold it. No-need to call me an idiot.
In the past when i needed a replacement to my surfboard that poped, i just asked CS to register a friends old modem against my acount and they did - without any problem.
Besides for what i paid for it, if it doesnt work its no big loss to me.

Only time the modem cant be used is if the mac is still registered with ntl.

I think your be hard pushed for NTL to register a modem bought of E-Bay. I could be wrong but I cant see them registering a modem bought from e-bay

Ok, obviously shouldnt of mentioned the E word on here. Im not going to tell them i got it from Ebay. Just a friend - that's not a lie either.
If it doesnt work, it doesnt work. But it has before. I cant stomach trying to explain to tech support yet why my amit's slow - i will if this get's me no where.

Fair enough I phoned TS and explained the issues. Was put on hold for about 5 minutes then the women came back and said "We will raise an engineer request to replace your modem"
Ok it is going to take 3 weeks but hey 6Mbit until them is alright
