NTL Broadband

[steve740]

Has anyone had any problems with theirs? Mines been running stupidly slow lately, its supposed to be 2meg broadband but when they came to have a look this week the modem speed was 176kb/s!!!!! How pathetic is that?! lol
Any suggestions at all please or comments?

No, mines running fast as fcuk. 500kb/s on newsgroups

I'm on ntl 4 meg, connections been maxed out at 300kb+ with torrents for past few days without a problem.

2mb should rerturn a theory speed of 250K/s so c.170 isn't too bad is it?

I normally get around 1200K/s on usenet, but that's using a 10mb pipe :approve:

wat ntl and blueyonder etc might not have told u is there bringing in throttle control in certain areas , this should only affect ppl they claim abuse there service e.g download alot , basicaly on set days n times they`ll limit yer service .

176kB/s is well within their tolerances for a 2mbps connection. It's obviously not as high as you would like but there's not really anything wrong.

My Blueyonder 4mb connection usually downloads from the newsgroups at 480kb/s

im on 10mb , but not many servers allow full bandwidth , usually major sites 600-800k sec, news servers owt from 600-1200 depending on which one

I remember those days when I was still living with the folks. Used to hate the telebox constantly crashing. What annoyed me even more was that you had to turn it off at the mains!

ntl 10mb with usenext is awesome.
get 3.5gb files in like an hour

The thing that bothers me the most is that it was much quicker a couple of days ago, and now it seems to have just stopped all of a sudden, the engineer doesnt seem to know why either, it just happened over night
