1st 128K took 1050 ms = 124830 Bytes/sec = approx 1039 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 1090 ms = 120250 Bytes/sec = approx 1000 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1050 ms = 124830 Bytes/sec = approx 1039 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1100 ms = 119156 Bytes/sec = approx 991 kbits/sec

looking at this, am i now on 1mb?

I just got off the phone to someone anyway, they kept telling me that the speeds would come automatically sometime this week and that she has no clue that other people were doing to speed upgrades on the phone.

I have just been told by CS that all the upgrades have been done today............nationwide..........he seemed very confident of his information--the poor soul

Yes, but please stop posting speed test results people.

I spoke to someone who sounded foreign (a guy) at CS just now.

He was polite and said I've been upgraded to 2MB now from 750k via Samsung STB.

Its been 3 mins since I phoned so hopefully I will get the new speed very soon.

Guess i'll phone again then, and hopefully get someone else.

Got it

Customer Services sorted it out in moments, 1 very happy flooky

punky · 08-03-2005, 18:24

Phew!!! I got 3mbit on Bromley STB (Ex C&W area)

Be warned, it was a nightmare though. I phoned up to switched, the first lady said: "ok, thats all done, please reboot". I hunup, rebooted, and.... nothing. Rang back.. "we have already applied the upgrade, so go to tech support"... Was on the phone to a nice lady for ages and she found out that the first lady just removed my internet. The TS managed to talk to CS and get me back onto the new 3mbit... Phew, had me worried though.

Hope I havent signed a new contract though

One wonders why Cap's are being introduced, "40-60"GB a day

The Cyclist · 08-03-2005, 18:27

Hi, as stated in my post all it takes is a bit of pre-planning on NTL's part. I understand that they can't change everyone's STB on the first day but they could have done it earlier as to save the frustration of being told you'll have to wait. I was in touch with them over two weeks ago about the STB situation but was told they couldn't change it.

Graham M · 08-03-2005, 18:28

Erm so will Pace STB Support 2MBit?

paul11974 · 08-03-2005, 18:28
