No, you're on 3Mbps. And, to be honest, if you don't know what, I don't know why you'd need 10Mbps so badly anyway!

I phoned CS and was diverted to TS they told me that my Terayon has the file for 10Mb and that it is still on trial, and that it is upto 10Mb service and if I still get the same speeds after Jan 1st call back.

It doesn't help when my router may not be able to handle 10Mb

He also said that they would address any modem problems in Jan

Why do you want 10Mbps? You'll get it - probably - sometime next week, along with most other 3Mbps-ers. I'd be surprised if you get anywhere with CS...

jeffcrouch · 01-12-2005, 13:14

right - just phoned ntl - i'm on 2meg at the moment - here's the conversation:

" hi can i upgrade to the 10 meg broadband please? "
" you're on 2meg, i can't - we can only upgrade from january"
"but....i want to UPGRADE....."
" sorry - i could do it now, but it wouldn't work until january"
" um..ok. bye?"

so - should i upgrade online to 3 meg, and would it then automatically upgrade to 10??

You can do, but you will have to pay ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£37.99 a month for it.

jeffcrouch · 01-12-2005, 13:28

yup - just upgraded online, and its 10meg!!!!

beardsley · 01-12-2005, 15:00

So can I just check that I have this right.....

People are now getting the full 10 mbit/s with a Terajet 210?

This is despite being told earlier that the Terajet 210 will not be capable of getting the full 10 mbit/s and the Terajet 210 only having a 10 mbit/s lan port.

Are people getting this speed using ethernet or USB?

Hom3r · 01-12-2005, 15:03

I cannot yet get the full 10Mb even with out the router on my Terayon

3rd 512K took 471 ms = 1113138 KB/sec, approx 9172 Kbps, 8.96 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 9574 Kbps, 9.35 Mbps

Paul Marsden...just noticed that your kB speed tests are wrong. According to them I should be downloading at around 1.2GB/s!

I think they should be Bytes/s not kBytes.

Something is fudged for sure, I am reading posts of people getting full 10mbit all day long, personally my speeds are completely to pot during the evening but not to everywhere. During peak time I get below speed everywhere. After peak time I can get 10mbit to some locations. However this morning at 1am my ubr was very saturated I had 100+ms latency to it and there was nothing on the ntl status page about it, but to me seems balancing work is still going on. I wish they would upgrade rather then keep shuffling heavy users about because if it is like this now with just the top tier upgraded what will it be like when everyone is upgraded.

What results do you get from our speed test ?

Paul since about a week ago I have never managed above 9mbit on your speed test and only get that between 3am and 9am, then it fluctuates wildly.

I have had as low as 0.7mbit.
