Yep, in Tallaght too, just reset the Modem and downloading at 3Mb.

Happy days.

Oh my sweeeeet looord Jeybus:

1st 128K took 453 ms = 289342 Bytes/sec = approx 2407 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 375 ms = 349525 Bytes/sec = approx 2908 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 360 ms = 364089 Bytes/sec = approx 3029 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 375 ms = 349525 Bytes/sec = approx 2908 kbits/sec

There'll be a serious load of downloading going on tonight !!

I'm in kingswood meself and download speeds are pants, were bouts in the heights are you spanner head? I think I talked to you before?

330k/sec dl'n -- dat'll do...

2nd 128K took 344 ms = 381023 Bytes/sec = approx 3170 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 359 ms = 365103 Bytes/sec = approx 3038 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 359 ms = 365103 Bytes/sec = approx 3038 kbits/sec

These results appear to be rather fast: maybe this page was in the browser cache.


I love the text at the bottom of the test, err no mate, nothing in the browser cache
And, I can now get into the modem config page for the first time.

What speed test are you using?

lee_baby_simms

wow this is great! 2meg line! LETS ALL RAPE THE CAP! AHHAHAAA!
but seriously though this is great.

Yeah, we talked before when NTL were taking our phones away!!!

I'm in the top half of the estate. The downloads seem to be working fine for me. I'm hitting about 230kb/s.

I'm on the new 2Mb package.....

Astro1996

Lenny, im in Tallaght too and was upgraded this afternoon 750k-2mb, tis great stuff

why is the 4th one consistently out of whack on mine???

Nietzschean

yeah now if they impose the limits we all have n kick off the abusing people twill be a great service tbh

ArthurG

Hmmmm..... I'm very up and down speedwise:

1st 128K took 579 ms = 226377 Bytes/sec = approx 1883 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 391 ms = 335223 Bytes/sec = approx 2789 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 345 ms = 379919 Bytes/sec = approx 3161 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 438 ms = 299251 Bytes/sec = approx 2490 kbits/sec

irishisptest is jumping between 500 and 2900kbits/s

Hopefully just teething trouble.... anyone else experiencing anything similar?.

Lucan area.

MartMax

sweet... ... mine is now a 3mpbs line...

i'm on the max package for the 3 month trial, and it has been bumped up alright. Must admit that there really isn't much noticable difference in speeds, i guess you can only download as quickly as the 'servers' on the other end allow, and its making shag all difference to before.

1 or 2mg I think is enough for the moment, not going to waste my money on the 3mgs!

i;ve been on the talkin arse - this thing is flyin now! Yeehaw!

Fanny Cradock

er, stupid question, but how do you check your speeds?

Beats

On 750 line. Checked speed on http://www.irishisptest.com/ . Download 1.75 Mbps and upload 194 Kbps . Sweet !

Lenny

Its workling grand for me now, getting 350 downloads constant

seamus

Very inconsistent I find. Jumping between 1.8Mbps and 800Kbps. I'll try reboot my router.

mad m

Yup,mine is up and down like a jockys whip! 74k to 750k to 1.89m

But emailed them yesterday before the upgrade to say my web pages are not loading up faster than they should be,but downloads are ok.They rang today saying i have a fault after checking line and are sending out an engineer on thursday.

KTRIC

Yep, mine's up and down aswell. I'm back to 1.5mb !!!

paulm17781

2.94Mbps 274Kbps.

FuzzyWuzzyWazza

Yipieeee 1.83Mbps / 190Kbps, was at ~750 5 min ago, cycled the ol' modem and finally a decent speed!!

and this...

1st 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 531 ms = 246840 Bytes/sec = approx 2054 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 541 ms = 242277 Bytes/sec = approx 2016 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 530 ms = 247306 Bytes/sec = approx 2058 kbits/sec

By the way, in Talla-fornia also.

jimmycrackcorm

Don't know wht speed I have now - varies from test to test
test results from irishisptest.com for supposed 3 mb line

1.88mbps/288kbps
1.84 / 287
1.83 / 288

Better stop testing before speed goes down to 0

average download 208kbs - if this stays like this then might as well downgrade to 2mb. Though I notice at work our 4mb dsl line seems to average 3mb speeds.

thund3rbird_

just reading the thread now so got my mate (Tycor area in Waterford on 750 <--> 2 meg) to do another test

screenshot here

Infini

YES! 3MB down, 300kb up. Got the upgrade. Thank you NTL!!!

FYI: My speed was automagically updated without power-cycling the modem !
