Anyone know wtf is going on? Having looked through the threads some people in leicester are getting a full solid 10MB and others (including me) are getting crappy 1mb at peak time, and thats up and down like a yo yo.

Do you think they got misbalanced routers AGAIN?

What does your modem config (username/password admin) say?

I have been upgraded to 10mb im in Leicester but i am only getting a max of 7mb any time of the day. I know its upto 10mb but was wondering what everybody else in Leicestershire is getting.
I have Ambit 100 with firmware upgrade so wondering if need a new modem ?

I don't think they've ever had "misbalanced routers" .........

What results do you get from our speed test ?

Not if you are getting 7 meg - also, same question as above re speed test.

I have 2 mbit on a Samsung,i phoned them earlier to upgrade to the 3mbit.The guy told me i could not have 3mbit because my Samsung can`t do 10mbit.I said so the reason is because it is so close to the 10mbit launch i can`t have the 3mbit?I don`t think he new what he was doing,i said about the 10mbit page on the net,and mentioned monday the fifth,the line went quiet.I said so basically i will have to wait until monday and order 10mbit and i will then get a SACM,he said yes.

It seemed to me that i was telling him.The guys above with Samsungs will probaly be the last to get it.

Paul on this websites speedtest and the adsl guide one i get maximum of 5.6meg tried all different times.
At parents house they have Ambit 100 as well getting roughly same figures as mine. i wonder with all the work that has gone in Leicester in the past 6 weeks whether still bit more catching up to bring network up to standard.
I've noticed we seem to have been singled out for work every week night for 6 weeks so obviously has been quite a bit wrong compared to other areas.

5.6meg is not the same as 7meg

I don't think the ntl 100 will run at full speed even with a firmware upgrade - I'm sure our original information was that it won't.

uno · 30-11-2005, 23:37

I got the 7mb figure from Robin Walkers test but I have since read the one on this site is better to test the connection and just tried again 5.8meg. Do you think I will see any increase once the official launch has taken place ?

The news item on the front page says we will get a price reduction from January

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/article/...rice-reduction

Is this correct, as the card just says "early in 2006"?

ford fairlane · 01-12-2005, 01:54

But, I've got a NTL:Home 100 Modem, So I guess thats the reason I have poor download, I'll try again tomorrow

fluff · 01-12-2005, 02:33

connection dropped for a few seconds, reconnected and im on 10mbit

http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/sp...636945a383d096

im using ntl 250 and got 800kb/s on that speed test, i guess everyone else is testing too? not bad though!

edit 2: well i just downloaded the bf2 patch with 10 threads and i was able to max it out at 1.2mb/s

Swoopie · 01-12-2005, 02:47

will see later, i just had my speed up to about 670-710, aint had it higher though yet, going bed now, will see what happens over the next 2 days, before phoning up ntl, I think i might just get lucky with my NTL:100 :P
