How do you actually check which UBR you're on? When I run a tracert it just goes off straight away.

I got it from the Symantec security checker

Start, run, cmd, then tracert.

Robert · 27 Sep 2005 at 13:38

That does nothing tolien. It just brings up some other commands which do nothing.

cable.ubr02.glen.blueyonder.co.uk ...still 2Mb here

Well the qos files are there at least.

Whitley Bay, thats close to Newcastle, hope ours is done soon

Gav · 27 Sep 2005 at 17:30

Got mine this morning. Scotland had the luxury of getting the updates first.

On the downside, speeds arent very stable and to be totally honest, its not much better than the 4Mb connection. EXCEPT if you are a usenet junkie. Easynews clocks at about 500 on singles with about 1200 on multiples

sja360 · 27 Sep 2005 at 18:01

1.2MB a sec then Gav? also where bouts are you in scotland?

For the Gloucestershire, S/West region...

Mmmm, I got a different email from them:

Telewest Monkey said:
Thank you for your e-mail dated 24 September 2005.

I refer to your query regarding the speed increases on our Broadband Internet service.

I confirm some information regarding the Broadband speed will increases can be found by clicking on the link below.

http://www.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyonder/getContent.jspx?page=bbs_evenfaster

However, if your area is not listed, this means we have not yet been provided with a date when this will take place. Please be assured that as soon as we have an update on this we will advise you.

Think they need to get a map to get from their elbow to the nether regions

Btw folk, a good way to test your speeds is to use BY's gamefiles hosting - http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk - pretty much guaranteed to get the fastest possible speeds from there, as it eliminates the rest of the intahweb from the equation
