Hi people,

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post this in but after spending an hour with the search button, Im still lost

Upgraded my ntl account to the 10mb package today. All morning consistantly getting about 4mb downstream 497kb upstream. Now I realise its UPTO 10meg but I thought what the hell Ill give the guys at NTL a ring and find out, they say my signal strength is fine and that I should have the latest firmware, which according to the guy has been out since around august.

If I give you guys my settings can you tell me if I have a problem or that all is fine and that hopefully as the NTL guy said it will improve as the network is upgraded over the next month. To be fair he did say if first week of Jan its still around 4meg to phone back.

Downstream Recieve power level:- -12.88 dBmv
Downstream SNR:- 29.81dB
Upstream Transmit Power Level: consistanly since upgrade of speed 59.50dBmv

MAX Downstream:-10240000bps
Max Upstream:-512000bps

Software Upgrade File Name:- ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr

Be nice if someone with a ntlhome:120 with decent speeds could compare software upgrade filenames with me and see if theres is different.

Thanks for reading thread.

BTW the NTL Guy assured me he could see my signal levels and if anything there were more than is needed...
