UPC bump to 20 Mb

stimpson

Just had a text from UPC saying I was bumped to 20Mb. Checked the website and they are now offering 10, 20, 30 and 100 Mbit

Might be worth resetting your modem tonight.

Same here didn't have to reset my modem either.

I was informed of this on Monday while paying the bill over the phone, it adds €2 to your bill. No word of this in my text. Silly UPC.

Also, she didn't know if they'd altered their contention ratio. Hnnnnnnghhhhh

:mad:

Yeah, like Finno I didn't have to restart modem. Never got a text neither.

If you have customised your wireless AP name from the standard UPC12345 to your own, it will reset back to original AP name with "open" or broadcast status for wireless and uPnP will be disabled. It might catch a few people out.

I did notice my pings going a bit higher after the upgrade also. Not sure if the 20Mb is starting to push the limit for me. Currently 50ms, up from about 30ms. Most won't give a monkeys but I use my broadband for gaming online with PS3. Not sure if it has much of an effect as I am crap anyway !!

Ran a speedtest earlier and was getting 11mb but getting 20mb now. Would assume that the network is under a bit of stress with the upgrade!
