ntl is slow

[ShakenNstirred]

for the past few days ntl has slowed down to 5mb, since it was upgraded to 10mb it has always been at around 10mb but not anymore.
anyone else having slow downs?

I've had the same problem mate. Only on the 2meg line, but speeds have been as low as 50k most of the Easter period. Things seem back to normal today though.

i have just checked mine and its down to just 2.1mb

I've never been able to get the full 10mb unless i'm using multiple connections by using a download manager Only got about 3mb speeds otherwise

I'm getting what would be considered normal speeds for my line at the moment though.

same here,

to make matters worse my ntl connection was down big time for a week last week, 2 set top boxes and the modem, turns out some idiot from ntl had been into the box up the road and had knocked our cable loose.

Took them 5 days to get an engineer out at a decent time in the evening to see us. This i canna complain about really, no one including myself likes working late shifts.

But you would think a company like ntl would understand that i would guess at least 50% of their customers work during the day, so would prefer an engineer visit early eves say 6pm onwards lol

Sorted now, decent bloke came along and plugged the cable back in properly.


havent tested the speed today, will when i get home from work this eve.

All is fine now. Normal speeds have resumed, so i'm assuming it was some thing to do with Easter weekend.
