NTL 1MB service (good or crap)

**chris25** · 30th October 2003

I have ntl 1mb service in glasgow and i was just wondering what is every1's
average speed is it about 115 kb/s to 125 kb/s if that is so..

i think that speed is total CRAP FOR THE MONEY WE PAY for it...

**Tuckerisgreat** · 30th October 2003

i think i normally get an average of 120kb/s or 119kb/s never of that i think its not bad since its quiet cheap now about 24 quid i think

what sort of speed were you expecting on a 1mbit connection ?

**flipper321** · 31st October 2003

chris, hope you're not actually expecting 1mb/s?!

**Pegasus** · 31st October 2003

Think your getting MegaBytes & Megabits confused mate (nice first post BTW)

**chris25** · 31st October 2003

well i was expecting a lot more than 120kb/s per second
and no iam not getting MEGABYTES AMD MEGABITS confused MATE ???

Chris25, stop with the attitude - people come on here to get advice - youv'e only done a couple of posts and you start getting shitty with Pegasus Team, who in case you didn't notice is a Moderator.

Can you answer hxbro's question, what WERE you expecting 900?? 1000??

Your line-speed of 115-125 is correct - now shut up.

Just to clear things up, could you post the results of this speed test:-

Yup, my mate gets 119-125kbps on his 1mbit connection, maxes out at about 140kbps when downloading from a fast server.

Although I agree with...

i think that speed is total CRAP FOR THE MONEY WE PAY for it...

In the USA, people pay $25 and get 2mbit connections! What is that about?!?!

**fossil** · 20th November 2003

Oh dear! bits & Bytes rear their heads again.:|

120kb/s is not correct for a 1Mb connection.
You should expect around 950 - 1000kb/s (kilobits per second) which is roughly 120kB/s (kiloBytes per second).

If chris25 is really getting 115 to 125kb/s, then he has a problem.
Posting the results of the above speed test will clear things up.

fossil, I know the difference between bits and bytes... just I didn't know that I had to type a B for bytes and a b for bits.

Sorry, I should have put kB/s for kilobytes instead of kbps.
