New modem.

I have created a new Speed Test (based on Robins) which uses a larger sample size - as the current one was never intended for such high speeds and can give odd results on some machines. I've also added a couple of bits for Mbps and average speed across the four tests. It can be accessed via the "New Speed Test" link in the navbar "Quick Links". Please test it out.

Nice one Paul...

This is what I got:

1st 512K took 641 ms = 817922 KB/sec, approx 6646 Kbps, 6.49 Mbps
2nd 512K took 640 ms = 819200 KB/sec, approx 6656 Kbps, 6.5 Mbps
3rd 512K took 641 ms = 817922 KB/sec, approx 6646 Kbps, 6.49 Mbps
4th 512K took 688 ms = 762047 KB/sec, approx 6192 Kbps, 6.05 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 6535 Kbps, 6.38 Mbps


I have a Ambit 100 modem and assume thatâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s why my performance is not better. I do hope NTL can do a firmware tweak - from a resource point of view it seems an enormous waste of money to have to replace modems that can, quite frankly reach very good speeds, but not enough to match the advertised maximum. In reality I would be quite happy with the current speed - but human nature dictates I will be asking for a replacement in due course!

Nice job Paul works for me

:O Maybe they're going to start actually talking to their staff about 10MB!

This is probably the most invaluable forum I've encountered (and the first time that I have joined one). I also have the SB4100 through ethernet, of course, but still appear to have the 3mb service. Grimsby area has always been excellent for speed and connectivity and I have often seeen people suffer in other areas of the country while the service here has remained phenomenal. Probably only had 7 days downtime in 5 years.
However, once you do see a higher speed available, you want it.

I have cut and paste a few entries from the log file of the SB4100 to see if anyone could shed any light on this situation regarding my continued 3mb service in the same area and on the same modem as others on the 10mb speed?

Thanks

Hi,

Is anyone in Bromley on 10mb?

Thanks!

You will not be on 10M unless you have requested it, and been told it's done - there is no automatic upgrade atm.
