ntl are throttling my internet speeds wtf
hi all

im on 2 meg bb and have only been with ntl since 2 weeks ago i moved from aol since they moved to cpw but last couple of night my speeds are getting cut in half and its ****ing me off to say the least wtf is it with isp s these days we pay for 2 meg bb thats written in the contract so why in the hell dont we get these speeds ?
the speed i keep getting at nioght time is about 912 kbp/s should be 2 meg bb i though ntl wasnt supposed to cap speeds?
or is this something to do with them goons at virgin taking over from ntl?
please help and tell me if any1 else is having this problem aswell .

thx

Re: ntl are throtling my internet speeds wtf
Nothing has been reported to suggest 2Mbps is being throttled in anyway.
10Mbps is, but only in a few areas, my area isn't being throttled.
Perhaps it's just a UBR problem

Re: ntl are throtling my internet speeds wtf
that does not prove anything it just means that site has a load. Try a multi threaded download manager and please dont add to the throttle hysteria that is already in place and misplaced. Unless as mentioned your just on 1 meg and need to call ntl

you pay for a 2mb connection not a 2mb download speed, as mentioned your download speed can vary depending on who your downloading from, have you tried any other sites?

Re: ntl are throtling my internet speeds wtf
It looks like you're on 1Mbps.

Someone have the link so they can check their config so we can find out what service they're actually on
