Well excuse me; I do know the speeds for 10meg and 20meg connection. If you must know last night I was disconnected then re-connected several times. I started my downloads again and it was up and down like a brides nightie. I did get a 28meg download at one point. If you remember these are test connections as someone stated before. But it has all settled down now, my average is steady at 2395.5KBs. Your comment was hardly a nice welcome to the forum was it, and as for you garyh thanks you sarcastic (READ THE FAQ) no I don’t…..I must remember to include every little detail for the Perfectionists on here.

Didn't mean to offend you mate. Not sure who most of your post was aimed at but I believe mine wasn't offensive in any way at all. If I did offend you then I apologise.
I'm just saying that 10mbit is 1280KB/sec and everyone I know who has it, regardless of area, etc tops out at 1200KB/sec, not 1500KB/sec.
As for the 20mbit, I can't comment on your speeds because I don't have it myself so I'm not disputing you there.

You see those crazy peaks as IE and other browsers will start downloading before you press save or open. Also if you restart a failed download it can often use the majority of what you downloaded previously but shows it as actually downloading, just very fast.

What do you guys think
Do you know what the exact config file name of this 20mbit/768kbit might be? Might be in your log page, could be something like cm-20480-768, just wanna know what to look out for when they upgrade me
Thanks

Good to see that Bushy's info was pointed out as incorrect.
I'm with everyone that's said "though it's pretty cool, upgrade the upload and I might move ISP" 768k for such a high DL sync is crazy, and is the reason I moved from my old ISP, UKonline.

I'm confused, you were an NTL employee last week, this week you've said NTL employee then changed it to ex NTL employee and now in this thread you're an NTL employee again ? I'd be having a word with the HR if they are messing you about that much in 10 days!
*edit* The config files are remaining the same as far as the name goes, it's just the UL/DL speeds that are showing up in the CM pages (and when you download something!).

For NTL (not commenting about Telewest)
Its nice to see that someone hasn't forgotten how bad the service has been lately and isn't just thinking "oh look... free upgrade... speed issues as of late? what speed issues? free upgrade!" lol

Likely because the people who are happy about it aren't experiencing any issues. Cable varies greatly by area - here in Basingstoke it's fantastic. I know someone in Bedford that doesn't have that much luck - it's all down to the area you live in.

Thats fair enough and I apologise if my original comment didn't sound very nice. I agree with your comment as well though but I would like NTL to do something about existing issues rather than ignore them and go ahead with speed upgrades.

This 20Mbit is good news. I'm on Bulldog at the moment and synching around 6Mbit for stability. Unfortunately i'm in an analogue cable area but if things go well, i'll be moving to a telewest broadband area next month.
