Why only 512Kbps upload? Why not 1Mbps?

AbyssUnderground · 25-12-2005, 13:18

I was talking to a friend the other day and he said that the NTL 10Mbps is more unreliable because of the upload speed being "not sufficient enough" for downloading at 10Mbps.

What I want to know is: is it true?

Also, why dont NTL give us 1Mbps upload? Its cable so it should be able to support a very high speed, not like ADSL.

Id kill for 1Mbps upload but why wont NTL give us it?

Not sufficient enough, that was busted long ago by the bods and by practice by...well everybody here who actually has 10mb as opposed to people who are on tiers like 2mb and claiming this.

Can't be certain but adsl is in a better position to give greater upload then the current way it is delivered over our cable.

I think the correct reply is rubbish. Your 'friend' is sadly mis-informed, esp if your tcp is setup correctly with a larger rwin.

Maybe because the equipment could not supply it to everyone ? - or perhaps you think they just want to spite everyone.

If everyone had 1mbps upload they woud simply be moaning they want 1.5 or 2mbps

Its sad that we are here at all

AbyssUnderground · 25-12-2005, 15:38

Lol, Im here because Ive finished my lovely x-mas dinner. Just awaiting desert

Because I run a server, the higher the upload the better. There was a roumour before 10Mbps was released that the upload would be 1Mbps. I was really looking forward to it but then my hopes were shattered when I heard it was going to be 512Kbps.

*sighs* Maybe when/if NTL upgrade to 20Mbps they will double the upload again

What sort of server? I hope you do not mean a net server as this would be I imagine against the T&C

I run HTTP and FTP servers, and they are not against the TOS. If it was NTL would have spoken to me in the 6 months its been online.

The link to my website below runs from this server and my connection.

AbyssUnderground · 25-12-2005, 18:02

Is there any word when 2Mbps customers will get the chance to upgrade yet?
