nothing to do with the Nashville no-derailer, but:
QuoteModem Status Connected
DownStream Connection Speed 5056 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 448 kbps
:mrgreen:
Just have to wait to see how good Mr BT decides my line is... :?
still waiting for my upgrade at home :(
some site reckons 3.5 mbps if im lucky though, wish it was the same as works, 8megabits down, 832kbps up, jammy bloody gits!!!
if you play lots of games, try to make sure they leave interleaving off
Plusnet allow you to jump the queue if you want, though I thought I was supposed to get an e-mail saying it was happening. Speed tests show about 3.2 Mb, though this varies and its supposed to be part of the 10-day test.
/goes to reboot router again
where do i do that? im with force 9 (different brand of plusnet)
dont wanna pay for a marginal increase from 2mbps tbh
quite happy sitting on all these referals that knock about Ã,£5 a month off the rental tbh :D
Force 9 eh? Youve been with them even longer than Free-online users like me! (though the parent company is called Force9 I believe). Any way - you go to http://portal.free-online.net/wizard/?wizard_id=20
Now this url is for the Free-online version of the portal; obviously your url will be different, as will the one for Plus-net branded users. But you can find the direct link from the discussion forums in the Member Centre, under the Community Support and "DSLMax & Alternate Network Supplier - FAQ" thread - there ought to be an identical section within your portal.
You can opt to ask to jump the queue; it just raises a support ticket to let the admin know that you want to. If all the above fails, you could just raise a ticket to that effect. If youve been a subscriber for a number of years youre probably high up the list anyway, as theyre doing them in loyalty order I believe.
Ive got the huge total of 50p off for referral :roll: However my employer have settled on a policy to pay for home broadband subscription - but only Ã,£15-worth :evil:
Ive been on 8mbit for a few months (840k a sec downloads)
going to 16mbit in a few weeks :)
ah the joys of an isp with a genuinely unlimited policy.
Here at parents house they upgraded the line to 8mb but only getting 2.2 since we are far from the exchange.
On 10mb cable in London

How do you queue-jump?

see my further post above.
It looks as if you can go to :

oops missed that, thanks
argh bloody forums marking sections read, finally gone through the queue jump thiny, see what happens
It was less than a fortnight after I put in the request, although I only noticed the router speed change by accident! It does say in the ticket that theyre supposed to send an e-mail advising theyre starting too...
I raised a ticket and its been open since 07/05 - 13:49:28pm...
bleh
Well it seems my "evaluation process" is complete, and on average I seem to get about 2.5Mb. But it does seem very variable, I have had up to 3.6Mb and sometimes down to 400k!
I moaned about this and the lack of e-mail, and they did apologise, and asked me to use the official BT speed checker (hidden on a pLusnet test page) that changes your account so you are only connected to BT and not the Internet, to test it.
And of course now BT have suspended use of the mass upgrade order tool while they sort out the mess, seemingly quite a lot of people whove been upgraded complaining about the speed variability (on all ISPs).
Im getting an estimate of 4.5 Mbps at my new place - wonder what I can realistically expect. Gets installed next week with a bit of luck
There seems to be a pattern developing - during weekday mornings and weekend days I get about 1.5 Mb - but sometimes worse -, and this goes up to 2.5 or a bit more late on...(i.e. around now :lol: ). Considering I had a stable 1 Mb before, and the average lift should be something like 4 times faster, its a bit miffing....
I get my MAX service enabled on the 2nd of June.
I live a fair way from the exchange, hopefully this wont cock things up. Ive got a reasonably stable 2048/256 at the moment - hopefully the 8mb/400kb wont actually lower my speeds during busy times.
Saturday night is always bad for some reason, the net drops on and off all evening (itll drop, then the router will re-dial and get back on straight away... but give it a few mins and itll drop again!)
According to the BT site im good for over 4mbit. :D Rather excited!! :D
dunno when mines due but doubt mine will sync much higher than the 2mb dl it does at the min.
wonder if ill need a new router over my trusty dabs value no name (well "pti" on the front and had to e-mail directly in asia to get a firmware upg.) thats served me well, even manages about 400 - 500 concurrent tcp / udp connections without exploding into a firery mess like some other routers
Well it still seems to vary, worse at peak times, but when its quiet...

Your current speed is:
4.05 Mbps
Which means you can download at 518.74 KB/sec. from our servers.
8)
After weeks of it being stuck at 2mbit mines finally seeing some improvement.
I can download at 500-800k now depending on the time of day.

Still waiting...
Bit pee-d off with the reduction during peak times - read Saturday afternoons! only 400kbps atm, and you do notice the latency :evil:
my ntl 4 meg line is reading
3.1 megabits per second
Storage 382.4 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 2.7 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome
alright i spose.
