Hi All,

Being reading Cable Forum for a long time now but this is the first time I have posted.

Just noticed I too have been upgraded from 2 to 4 meg (Middlesbrough) and did the speed test:

Tue, 13 Jun 2006 11:41:27 UTC

1st 512K took 1406 ms = 364.2 KB/sec, approx 3001 Kbps, 2.93 Mbps
2nd 512K took 1484 ms = 345 KB/sec, approx 2843 Kbps, 2.78 Mbps
3rd 512K took 1499 ms = 341.6 KB/sec, approx 2815 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps
4th 512K took 1500 ms = 341.3 KB/sec, approx 2812 Kbps, 2.75 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2868 Kbps, 2.8 Mbps

I have the NTL Home 100 modem.

My speed is not as good as some of you on here, is that beacause of my older modem?

There is one big problem I have noticed since the upgrade which was not there before, I could carry out downloads and browse the web at the same time before without any slowdown when browsing.

Now when I download and try to browse the web the browsing is so slow, if I stop the download the browsing goes back to normal.

I know they have had to do some fiddling to get the older modems up to speed but is this one of the things they have done?

If so then should I ask for a better modem?

[DJ Dave]

I was upgrade to 2mb a few months ago and the speed test I did then just say "1.3 megabits" is that an ok speed for being on the 2/4meg?

Upgraded in sunderland after modem reboot

That cableforum speedtest is giving weird results like 15mbit

[Agent47]

I was upgraded to 4mb today, well kinda. I have an ntl ambit 100 cable modem and this is what I get.

3rd 512K took 1515 ms = 338 KB/sec, approx 2785 Kbps, 2.72 Mbps

Hope ntl can maybe update the config to increase the speed.

How do I reboot a ambit 100 cable modem.

Just unplug your modem for about 30 seconds, plug it back in and wait for the 2 right hand lights to stay on ie not flashing, job done
