He reckons he only gets about 5Mb speeds from torrents (not a great yardstick, I know) but that his online gaming has improved no-end.
I haven't seen any mention on these 70odd pages of anyone that actually has it. Anyway, can anyone confirm? (He lives in Ardenlee Avenue, BT6 if it helps!)
He said that ntl delivered him a new modem. I'll see if I can get more details.
I believe him, I've no reason not to; anyway, thought someone would be interested. I'm also wondering, as I'm in Belfast too, if i upgraded to the 3Mb tier would I get the 10?

Your mate is talking utter nonsense, online games won't improve in ping if the connection is 10mb or not. Also not one person with NTL has 10mb yet (as stated by others too). If I were you I'd give your mate a wee slap for telling porkies.

The upgrades are meant to start around December and it will be for the 3MB custs first.
I found some of your post hard to follow due to your txt spk, can you please try to write properly, welcome to the site btw.

I think what he's talking about is games like Halo 2 look for the host with the best upload. Obviously if you have a better upload you are more likely to host and therefore have a compeltely lag free game. Obviously having a better upload doesn't give you a quicker game per say, so his description either way is completely **** about face. I think i just sort of know what he was getting at??

A point well made, didn't even think about games like Halo 2 etc. Ah well you live and you learn.

No one knows when anyone on NTL will get any sort of speed upgrade, yet.

Re: ntl Confirms 10Mb Broadband Speed Increase
Thanks for the responses guys - as I said, until now, I've had no reason to not believe him; it appears he's spoofing, so I'll give him that slap or get him to get me some hard evidence...

A screenshot of his download speed would suffice I think  Best to stick with that slap though

This is what I have been mentioning in my last few posts but not many have been catching on. The real danger here is if you have say a dozen or so people trying to push more traffic then the ubr can cope with whats going to happen to live applications that are dependant on latency it is in real danger of been sporadic and going through the roof. Ideally shaping needs to be done that favours udp/icmp and small tcp packets over large tcp packets.
Download speeds I would expect to be very variable rather then the flat speeds we tend to see now you might be downloading a 200meg file and it maxes at 10mbit for a few secs but at some other point of the download it might drop to say 300kbit, I think we will be seeing a lot of this sort of stuff happening.

The problem here is it isnt time of day based so whats stopping everyone using 30gig a month only during peak time periods and bringing the ubr to a standstill?
