Ooooh in that case, mind nipping into http://192.168.100.1 , username/password will be "root" , and seeing what it says ? It'll be around network access or something like that.

I would if I could but

P.S. Why do I have to prove myself to you?
Are you chief adjudicator?
What do I care if you believe me?

What on earth would I gain by lying

My connection is between 1.47 mbps & 1.80 mbps. I don't know how long or if it will last but it's been like this all day.

The reason he thinks you are lying *COULD BE* because of the identical test results, I for one havent seen that done either, so do it again and paste them again, prove they werent fluke.

Oh, and what modem are you on? the 192.etc IP only works on certain modems, Otherwise check http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d...ps/signal.html
to check how to do it.

That sounds daft. Why would you lose your email address!? Such things are not tied to the modem you use (STB or SACM).

Sounds more like they told you a porky to discourage you from going for a standalone modem.

Actually, earlier i got 1534kbps for every one of the tests..so its possible, though maybe not 1.9mb every single time..

I'm sorry mate but most of that went over my head.......

I don't know what modem or any of this IP stuff and I aint jumping through hoops to learn so I can satisfy people I don't even know

I posted the info as I though people may like to know, it's no bull and I do know what speed my connection is

working at.

Take it or leave it, it's happening and totally up to you what you believe...

Either way I don't mind

Anybody else going faster than they should?

Ill explain better, Look at your test results, they show each speed as exactly the same...

4th 128K took 561 ms = 233640 Bytes/sec = approx 1944 kbits/sec

And basically, thats rare, and all I asked is for you to do it again, if its conistantly like that you have nothing to hide. If not, it was a fluke (Im not suggesting you are lying btw)

Knowing you modem is easy stuff, look at it, if its silver and says NTL home, its an ambit, if not then they are all branded, look at the back, then see how to diagnose it on the website I shown you (Btw the reason why, is because the modems are capped to certain speeds, they shouldnt go above them, not by much at least)

Im not taking sides here, but this IS a community, and openness is a step on joining it, be friendly and make friends, right? so your attitude doesnt suit, please, treat people with of tact, and you'll find a much better welcome.

Hi

I'm a nooby

I am in swindon and the postcode checker says i am upgraded but i am still only on 1mb.
could this be my problem

about 1 week after i setup my broadband i decided that i didnt like my email address so i created a new one and deleted my old one which was my setting up email address. i know it said i couldnt delete that one but i did anyway and seeing as my newly created one worked i didnt see the problem with, however, when i click on tthe upgrade my spped section of ntls website, it tells me that my email address isnt the one associated with my modem, and when i put my original setup email address in it says it cannot find it. so, i thought i would just recreate it but ntl says the email address is already in use.
Could this be why my modem hasnt increased in speed.

Hello Cobbler,

to the site, hope you find it to be helpful and a nice place overall, now onto your problem.

Swindon, as a few other users have stated, hasnt been upgraded yet.

Im starting to think someone messed up big time on the postcode checker, come on NTL, first you take far to long to communicate about this upgrade, now our means of finding our time for upgrade is either out of date or scarily wrong, not good PR...
