Ntl @ 750k, is it ?

[thomson]

I know that ntl have says they'll be turning up the connection speed's of thier broadband customers service's, they have says it would more than likley be done before now.

How can I check to see if my 600 is up to 750 like they said, ive tried using various bandwidth testing programs but you all know as well as me that thier mostly unreliable, best result ive had so far is something like 580k but that may have been a flook as they say.

Anyone any ideas ?

Try downloading something from a fast server, your connection should stay at about 96Kb/S.

they have gone up

reboot your modem if you havnt done since yesterday night, or just reboot to be sure

If your really wana check, do as spectre ses.....try microsoft.com....

I think its updated, I done what you guy's says and ive also ran that wee program that you posted "jimmyp", ive also ran dan elwell's broadband speed test too.

On the wee program that you posted jimmy, iam getting a downstream noted as 750000 where as before it was 600000 and the dan elwell's test is giving me down speeds of roughly 680 - 704kb/s and they used to be more like 540-565kb/s before I rebooted the modem etc.
Sooooo, what ya think guys going on that info ? Ya think its been turned up ok ?
