Hiya all newbie but im curious I currently am on 1mb NTL and on a good day get 120kbs download speed, using system mechanic and regular cookie and system checkups.

Now I use a weird NTL Cable Modem with loads of immensly annoying lights which i have taped over lol but anyways, does this upgrade depends on which modem ur using????

Again its a NTL cable modem not the motorola one no other names on it :sleep::confused: so do i get this upgrade also i connect via USB 2.0.

Info be nice on this one and a date and time be wicked with expected speeds of new 1.5mb connection.

Peace out

With 1mb i get 124 k/s download speed. So surely with 1.5mb i should be getting 124 x 1.5 = 186 k/s?

From this post -

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showpost.php?p=266634&postcount=8

Users should be expecting to see 175 - 180kbyte/s. Maybe a little more, however 175-180kb/s is an acceptable top speed.



Anyway, as Neil said before, there is already a thread about the upgrades. Hence...Thread Closed.
