NTL users check your speeds

Jonnie_Onion

My bandwidth's just increased to 3 Meg. NTL testing the lines?

seamus

They might be fiddling around alright. My download speeds were very poor last night.

Diabolus

Im on the 1.5 Mbit package but mine is showing 950 k...

maxheadroom

Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 3072000 bps
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 300000 bps

Looks like the upgrade is kicking in

paulyx

Ahead of Schedule upgrade from today

masterK

Don't get carried away just yet, I noticed my downloads speeds had increased last night, however later on when I tried another download they were back to normal.

Where are you in Dublin ?? Maybe just a localised thing.

Astro1996

my downloads have gone from normal 85kb/s (750k package) this morning to between 210-220kb now

Cheers paulyx - good to know

K-TRIC - I'm in knocklyon and have been upgraded.

Anima

You might have to cycle the power on the cable modem in order to get the new speeds.

Anima

Restart your modem.

Translation: "cycle the power" = "turn off, count to 30, turn on"

What are your pings like in Tallaght (to boards.ie and jolt.co.uk).

Looking to get ntl there myself.

dave oc

Has anyone been upgraded to 3meg because the site says that 'broadband max' wont be upgraded till june 1st?

I presume that's 2.83 megs down and 278 Kb up?

jimmycrackcorm

going to logmein now to try it.
Last time they upgraded ahead of schedule also.

Showing 1.36 mbps - must need a power-cycle.

yep

i'm on the max package for the 3 month trial, and it has been bumped up alright. Must admit that there really isn't much noticable difference in speeds, i guess you can only download as quickly as the 'servers' on the other end allow, and its making shag all difference to before.

1 or 2mg I think is enough for the moment, not going to waste my money on the 3mgs!

There'll be a serious load of downloading going on tonight !!

These results appear to be rather fast: maybe this page was in the browser cache.


I love the text at the bottom of the test, err no mate, nothing in the browser cache
And, I can now get into the modem config page for the first time.

ArthurG

What speed test are you using?

lee_baby_simms

Yeah, we talked before when NTL were taking our phones away!!!

I'm in the top half of the estate. The downloads seem to be working fine for me. I'm hitting about 230kb/s.

I'm on the new 2Mb package.....

Astro1996

yeah now if they impose the limits we all have n kick off the abusing people twill be a great service tbh

Hmmmm..... I'm very up and down speedwise:

1st 128K took 579 ms = 226377 Bytes/sec = approx 1883 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 391 ms = 335223 Bytes/sec = approx 2789 kbits/sec

4th 128K took 438 ms = 299251 Bytes/sec = approx 2490 kbits/sec

irishisptest is jumping between 500 and 2900kbits/s

Hopefully just teething trouble.... anyone else experiencing anything similar?.
