Re: Anyone on the 20mbit/s yet?

Guildford was changed yesterday but not by a forced firmware uppgrade. A power off hard reset loaded the new file.

Other than files from very fast download servers I feel that most people will hardly notice the difference from 10 Megs.

Re: Anyone on the 20mbit/s yet?

im on 20Mb here in Beckenham, Kent on Bromley platform.

Was getting 15mbps this morning, in evenings though it falls to 4.6 constant max so some sort of traffic shaping going on I think, rockets back to 12-14 around midnight ish

nice speeds though, I like it a lot when it works

btw on ambit 200 silver modem

Re: Anyone on the 20mbit/s yet?

I`ve had up to about 15mb in Kidbrooke this last few days but not seen it hit 20 yet...In fact thats just with the bbmax test i get that pretty consistantly.

The speedtest.net tests vary though from 4mb up to 11mb depending on server and time of day.

I`m wondering if this little modem is even capable of more than the 15 i`ve seen so far(NTL 120.).

Re: Anyone on the 20mbit/s yet?

Well, just got myself installed (after moving house), and I can happily say - That is fast!!!

www.speedtest.net - terrible, seeing 7Mbit, but if I go to jolt and download from their fast server then I see a nice round 2.4MB/s.... (measured with dumeter), its sweet....

Hope you are all up on 20Mbit soon

-Paul

Looks like the ambit120 is only good for about 12/13 meg, so I'll have to get a new modem when the procedure is up on their site.
Hi NJ2112,

What does your config on your 120 look like after the upgrade. Does it show 20Mb but only manage the 12/13Mb?

Damn! You mean we won't notice any difference from the slow download servers? (whatever they are)
