Looks like the 17th is the day then

If you have a Surfboard 3100 then yes you'll need a resplacement as these can't handle the full 10Mb

yep. 3100's only have a 10bT link to the pc which would mean you will never get 10meg with network overheads.

log onto the newsgroups, tell them you want a swapout and they will arrange for a techy to come and swap your modem for one that will be more suitable.

if people are getting bad pings then ask for the upstream channel to be changed. makes a massive difference. im on 4meg and was getting pings of around 100 to uk cs:s servers. they changed my upstream channel and now im lookin at pings of 15-20 for decent servers

I got my SB3100 changed yesterday, they gave me a smaller black SB5100.

Hopefully if Fife is getting turned on next week, Dundee should be around the same time or shortly after.

How did you go about getting your SB3100 changed?

i only got BY about 3 weeks ago, but they gave us an SB4200, but everyone else i know has the smaller black version...

can the 4200 handle the 10meg upgrade? (whenever that comes? )

Whats the average d/l speed for someone on 4mb then?

I currently get about 100kbps, but I don't think the rule is to times that by four?

Theoretically, just shy of 500kB/s is the max so 450 should be attainable depending on your d/l source of course

 

[Matblack]

I get up to 485 with 10 threads on 4Mb

[perplex]

if you have y mbit you do this:

(y*1024)/8 = x kbps
x = 512kbps

 

[Journey]

Well I have been on 4Mb since it was released and on NG or a good website I always seem to get 470-490K/s. It's usually toward the 490 but recently it has been going down, hope this changes when they get everything sorted.

I downloaded the city of villans beta test from fileplanet the other day at max 615k per second on a 4mb blueyonder in yorkshire!! it took 1.15 to download 2.5 gig

That makes no sense at all... 615k would make it 5Mbps not 4Mbps
