Has NTL upgraded already?

[fireman2203]

im told you will get an email tell you you have or are about to be upgraded as they roll it out over the network

[wizard1974uk]

if the 600k is going up to 750k - is the 1mb going up to 1.25mb ?

Im an NTL customer on a 1mb line and i havent had any letter from them saying my service is increasing?

150k > 300k

600k > 750k

1Mb > 1.5Mb

[webslinger2k]

wow 1.5mb, thats not bad - but how will that transfer accross into u/l and d/l do we know?

we currently get 120k down and a stupid 30k up - will this change with the upgrade?

[hxbro]

upload is staying the same

[wizard1974uk]

upload is staying the same

For the moment, NTL are looking into upgrading the switches at a later date to increase the upstream rate.

the 1 meg is going to 1.5 meg dude so that should be sweet

[webslinger2k]

so if the up is staying the same, presumably the down is going to be faster.....working on ratios, if we are getting roughly half our service again - so from 1mb to 1.5mb does the same ratio come across into download speeds?

i.e. we currently get 120kbs, so will we now get 180kbs?

[hxbro]

yep, divide your speed in kbit/s by 8 to get the kbytes/s

so 1500 / 8 = 187.5kbytes/s

for the 600kbit/s service it won't be as big an increase as its only going up 150kbit/s

I had my NTL installed on Tuesday and I spoke to an engineer. He told me that the 600 service had just been updraded to 750 and that the 1000 service was been upgraded in the coming weeks. I got the 750 and was getting bout 90kb downloads (sweet!). I got it for 19.99 a month aswell for twelve months with free install and equipment (new deal from NTL). :thumbs

[wizard1974uk]

The engineer can't have been that well informed it seems he forgot to mention the speed increase on the 150k service as well.

[Likkle]

im on 600k in cov and have noticed no difference at all

[lmfy2k]

same here, but heard that the speed increase will apply during july and not june ? Also normally they should contact you if there are any changes to your broadband. :nowords:

[sean_numark]

i also live not far from cov and just switched to NTL and they told me it would be upgraded by the end of July but i defo wouldnt bank on it!

[Anakin]

Manchester have had there speeds increased already

[pratman]

i got a letter this morning saying that upgrades in cov were gonna happen from august onwartds so that could mean it wil be delayed for months again

[RobPa]

i was downloading at a 146kbps the other day and my top speed is norm 17.5kbps, so they are defiently testing.

[Keva]

ive noticed a abit of an increse from 120kb/s to 130kb/s but not that much...
