The checker does state about if your a 1 meg STB customer then ntl will be in touch blah blah blah...

(<- goes to reboot STB just in case though !!)

Ya tried that myself, just got off the phone with my friend down the road, he's on a SACM and his isn't showing any speed upgrade yet either, I'll prob leave it till i get up for work tomorrow if its not up by then i think it may be a "big turn on" for the set top boxes, any NTL techie people shed any light if this is the case or not?

the 4th one does... have a look on the modem config page (http://192.168.100.1) and see what speed it is showing there.

Thought as much

im on a 600k service through a STB and am getting about 702k

Strzelecki · 11-08-2004, 21:58

It also says that I'm already upgraded, I'm not though (stoke). I've rebooted my SACM and left it off for an hour also, it's status page still say 6000bps download though

webvictim · 11-08-2004, 23:51

It's good to know other people are affected. Hopefully NTL will get round to us soon.

Incog.

It's hard to tell from those results what speed you are on at all, they vary wildly - are you downloading or uploading stuff while doing the tests ?

I'm doing nothing but get annoyed.

mcfc2134 · 12-08-2004, 00:30

Yeah, apparantly I've been upgraded too!! Whatever NTL, they can't even get this right.

Mind using the old blueyonder BB speed test I get this

Section 3: Download Speed Results
Three downloads are tested; one from one of your ISPs servers,
one through your Transparent Cache and one through an alterntive cache.
This will give you an idea of how capable your connection is.
Note: You should take the highest download speed into account.

ntl:World - 128k service Server Download:
31KB/s (248Kb/s) - Superb - much higher than expected

Download through Transparent Cache:
28KB/s (224Kb/s) - Superb - much higher than expected

Download through alternative Cache (webcache.bt.net):
0KB/s (0Kb/s) - **** SERVER ERROR: Unexpected error from Server****

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Section 4: Packet Loss
50 Ping Requests are sent to your server.
The packet loss is measured by how many of the packets don't
bounce back to the client. High packet loss may slow down your connection.

50 packets were sent, 46 bounced back; 8% loss (estimated)
Normal - to be expected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Section 5: Transparent Cache Page Fetch Time
This test times how long your Transparent Cache takes to fetch a page
from the Internet. Please note that this test is subject to many different
parameters and sometimes may not be 100% accurate. This test can be
used to show delays when trying to view Internet sites. The timing takes
place from the moment the request for the file is sent to the moment the
proxy server responds.

Average time taken to retrieve a page: 0ms - At least one of the pages
requested failed to download. This may indicate problems with your
Webcache. Run the test again to confirm this.
