Looks like only the 3Mb users are getting that message. Others are getting Mac Address errors and allsorts of things. Hit and miss so far.....

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
Without trying to attract the wrath of the "omg they get a free upgrade and they still moan" gang, I'm can't say I'm too impressed the speed is all over the place and at times slower than my old 2mbit connection. Hopefully it's just because people are testing out their new speed and it will calm down a bit, at least I hope so...

That may be part of the problem. I also reckon that many people will need to upgrade their modems and possibly even their PCs to be able to handle the increased speeds. Still, I've technically got a 10Mbit connection!

Re: *All* ntl 10meg Discussion (part 2)
A Full Speed rate of 12 Mbit/s (1.4 MiB/s). Full Speed was the fastest rate before the USB 2.0 specification and many devices fall back to Full Speed. Full Speed devices divide the USB bandwidth between them in a first-come first-served basis and it is not uncommon to run out of bandwidth with several isochronous devices. All USB Hubs support Full Speed.
Taken from Wikipedia, so if youre using USB for your Modem and not getting full speeds, each USB hub on your system has 12MBit shared between the ports so perhaps try changing the port your Modem is plugged into to one that is next to an empty one or next to a low bandwidth consumption one such as a mouse.

An ethernet card for £2.34 might just help this on a little.

Transferring data to this pc (celeron 400 with 200mb ram and xp) caused it to bang straight to 95-100% cpu usage. :-)
That pc had a 10mbs lan card in it mind not sure what duplex it was.
As a bench mark i can normall get a similar file transfer speed over 11mbs wireless.
But she slogs along and has not died yet, she's fine looking after my pron stash and back-ups
