Re: New Speeds - June 1st
My internet was boosted yesterday to 4mb then all day today it was off. Give them benefit of doubt to let it fix itself ( tech support have enough on their plate ) Then phoned at around 10pm spoke to nice bloke in bombay or wherever and he said i had to re provision my connection. I thought ....strange why not yesterday when it was upgraded but hey it worked. Did not seem to work with firefox for some reason but good ol' IE worked. first speed test said 1.8 and i thought aye aye but then came here and used the forum speed test and got 3.77 again. suppose i'm happy again now.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
Got my upgrade to 2Mbps from 1Mbps today... still haven't quite managed to get over the 200KB/s barrier yet.

Here's looking forward to 4Mbps!

I am in Rock Ferry, but i use a set top box to connect so if you have a standalone modem you have to wait for them (NTL) to send you the config file. Hope it does not take too long for you.

Re: New Speeds - June 1st
any ideas whats going on here on tusday i noticed about the upgrades, kewl i thought rebooted modem from the config pages. checked tho ops pages it was at 4meg.

then when i got home from work had to reboot due to using a laptop direct on to the modem then switched back, to find that my download speeds were back down from 480 to 240 am like wtf mate. rebooted again and again and again and it wont go back up.

ps all my speed checks are done with a newsreader find it er.. more reliable and not not using the ntl news server lol

its back down on config pages as well
