thing is with these upgrades... did it says **up to 4mb**.... my mate is on 8mb ntl (or not 10) not too sure.... and he is not getting speeds anyway near that, according to ntl... only certain areas will get the most out of it!

Open a web browser and go to 192.168.100.1. This should bring up the modem's config page and you actually see what it is set to. I personally wouldn't trust web based speed testers at all.

To get the most from 10 meg you need the right equipment. You need a reasonably new modem with a 100mbps interface and if you have a router make sure it also has a 100mbps interface. Most older models are only 10mbps half duplex which isn't good enough. I would also avoid using USB where possible. I ditched my old 3com modem and old netgear router, my speeds changed from 500K/s to a whopping 1150K/s :cool:

According to the guy at ntl im on one meg on his system, but it looks like somehow they've given me two accounts... as im being billed for a two meg one 2.
Ive only got one computer!
He then said, sorry, im technical support, you'll have to call customer service. i did and they were closed.

Sorry m8, was talking to the other guy ^^ Their customer service does suck, but you could be able to use this incident to get a better price/speed out of them. Lots of people manage to negotiate one off deals/special rates cause they're pissed/going to leave. Try it!

NTL says everybody " should " be upgraded by the end of June . I've just checked their website and it says i'm on 4mb now . I've just done a speed test and i'm still on 2mb which i'm happy with , never had a problem with NTL and been with em about 3 1/2 years , can't wait for 4mb though ;)

10mb or more is the only way to fly, especially with the new uncapped service. Not that they ever enforced any caps anyway. I have 10mb Unlimted NTL at my home, and 10mb Unlimited Telewest at my rented crash pad :cool:

Can you say "Usenet"?
