[Merged] BB Speed Upgrades - Page 56

Well i'm on 1.5mb and bandwith keeps dropping around 14kbs then recovers then drops on downloads and checked it via various other locations heck cant even get trailers from gametrailers.com without bandwith dropping right now.

is NTL having issues with there servers and this new bandwith?

I have checked my bandwidth speed with the website link posted afew pages back and it confirms that I have been upgraded to 750k.

However, when downloading from Newsgroups, Du Meter is saying that I am still only getting about 60-65kb/s. This is strange because if I view webpages as well as downloading it goes up to 85-90 kb/s.

Surely the DL speed from newsgroups should be quicker? I use Free Agent Newsreader and connect to Claranets servers.

Any ideas?

Try making more connections to newsgroups servers. Some are limited to 60KB/s per channel.

As far as I know Luton has not been done yet due to reseg work that is needed before the network will be able to handle the increased speeds.

Ahh, that explains it then. I am off of Luton and have not sen any speed increase.

Anything off of the Luton DHCP as far as I know.

I will check tomorrow to give you a definate answer though.

and the reseg work will be done soon we hope we have provisional dates but these have changed and changed again so many times we just cannot give customers dates although believe me we understand how frustrating it is for you, its just well out of our hands.

I'm off the luton dns (have lutn in my hostmask) and on 1.5mb and people in the same town as me have been upgraded too, to 750 and 300k

Graham F · 03-08-2004, 22:21

well I never so many happy ppl on ntl all in the same thread

It looks like ntl have done well here and also looks like the upgrade is not causing too many people problems, i.e crap speeds when upgraded (yes i do know some have but most havne't) this and an email from the CEO about the email issue. I feel rather ill

I have just noticed a lot of new people posting n this thread

and enjoy the site.
