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

1st 512K took 438 ms = 1169 KB/sec, approx 9633 Kbps, 9.41 Mbps
2nd 512K took 437 ms = 1171.6 KB/sec, approx 9654 Kbps, 9.43 Mbps
3rd 512K took 438 ms = 1169 KB/sec, approx 9633 Kbps, 9.41 Mbps
4th 512K took 437 ms = 1171.6 KB/sec, approx 9654 Kbps, 9.43 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 9644 Kbps, 9.42 Mbps

When I was upgraded from whatever it was to 10Megs NTL pushed the modem file and the new rate appeared overnight. They didn't do that this time and I found it updated after a power off\on.

Re: the remark that a lot of people will not notice much improvement (another poster)..... When NTL upgraded to 10 megs there is no doubt in my mind that we were previously way behind the speed curve and the difference was dramatic. I have played, hunt the fast server, for Linux distros, graphics drivers etc, and have found very few that aren't limited from the server end.

Rebooted my ntl home 120 cm and got the new speed. Quick test:

Download Speed: 16465 kbps (2058.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 736 kbps (92 KB/sec transfer rate)

I just turned mine on a minute ago, nothing. Nothing at all!

One more reboot I think!

Is that what you needed :-)

[Phunky]

Nice, whats the config file called??

[Sirpingalot]

192.168.100.1 - should be your modem IP - default password and user should be "root"

Nothing in Croydon even though there is a large vm office here

Is there a requirement to reboot the modem for the new changes to take effect?
