We can reboot your modem remotely if required.

We're increasing our upload speeds

We're making improvements to our network, and upgrading our customers to faster upload speeds by the end of 2011.

End of 2011, some of us could be waiting a while for this upgrade!

As with all previous upgrades it will be area by area and very likely 100Mb will also be be rolling out in the same timescale but no dates as yet for that to start.

damn, i thought it would be done within 4 months, it could be 15 months until the upgrades are done

That sucks big time!

I posted this in the 'broadband speeds' thread, but I guess it's more appropriate here:

I knew they were trialling the higher upload for 50 MB customers, but I didn't realise all tiers would be getting an upgrade. Every little helps.

When Major Nelson was in Japan for the Tokyo Game Show he did a speed test where he was staying and the download was around 18 MB and the upload was around 20 MB. Shows how far behind we are in the UK.

I'd say that's a bit of a rubbish service they've got then to have a higher upload than download, 20mb download? 50mb has been available for a while now over here and as for upload , 99% of people would not need anywhere near that much, it should be 10 to 1 which with this upgrade it will be

It was free WiFi so i would have to disagree with your comments.

Here is the speedtest he posted on twitter

Well you didn't say that did you, so if it was'nt wifi then my comments would be correct

So does the shaping only come in once your upload is upgraded?

cimt · 01-10-2010, 17:13

If it wasn't wifi he'd probably get a better speed...

And people will cry to leave if a date is given and 1 hour after the date has elapsed.

Looking at the traffic management pages it looks like the traffic shaping is in already.

It mentions p2p and usenet management.

Im not 100% sure though, but just done some usenet downloading and the speed is lower than i usually get at this time of night
and my 20mb hasnt had the upload increase.

Ignitionnet · 01-10-2010, 20:31

It doesn't say anything about the shaping being linked to the upgrade, just the new STM.

I didn't say anything as I didn't write the original post.
