First of all welcome:welcome:
Do you have a set top box or a stand alone cable modem, are you using a router, do you connect to your internet connection using usb or ethernet ?
More info please :)

Type it from a DOS prompt.
bad command or file name is wot i get when i type 192.168.100.1
Start > Run
In the Run dialog type
cmd
In the new console window (black DOS prompt) type
ipconfig
Post back what you see ;)
k.dunno if it makes a difference but i'm running ME.cmd dus nowt in the run box.typed ipconfig in dos prompt and all i got up was IP address,subnet mask and default gateway.

OK, just a couple of snippets of information I thought i'd put into the thread:
The IP address is typed in to the address bar of your web browser, not the start->run box, however if you want to open the modem config page this way you must include the http statement in the run box ie http://192.168.100.1.
Doing an IPCONFIG is going to do absolutely nothing to determine the level of service that your on.
To open a DOS from the start->run box the command on Windows NT, 2000, and XP is CMD, for WIndows 95, 98 and ME it is COMMAND.
Hope this helps, :)

If it's an Ambit 100/120/250, then it should work. That configuration page doesn't work with STB's & certain modems (3Com CMX & Terayon TeraJet for example).
it's a 250.used 2 b able 2 get the info by going in2 run with no problem.

Go to http://192.168.100.1 in a browser. When asked enter "root" for both the username and password. You can then navigate round the modem and check it is configured to 10Mbit.
have tried that b4 but tried it again.page cannot be displayed is all i get

Go to http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks and run the test java applet.
Then amend your MTU (should be 1500 for ntl) and change the RWIN to the recommended value, using the DrTCP application linked to.
This raised me from 5.5Mbps to 9.5Mbps on the speed test.:Yikes:
sorry i haven't bin back 2 this.my speed is past a bloody joke and yes i have bin online.even using Opera dusn't help.
spc
i did actually do a test an hr ago and got 2.2 mbps.i can't do owt cos i don't understand wot MTU,RWIN and DrTCP r.this site is always fast but everything else is pi**ing me off.
i got 3.42mbps on the speed test in here.

Posts are very hard to read, any chance you could write in English and not in a combination of phonetically / txt spk? You have a full QWERTY keyboard in front of you not a 12 button phone keypad I'm guessing and there's no SMS limit on characters per message so there's no real excuse to not type 'to' 'for' 'been' 'doesn't' 'hour' and other words in full and txt spk is rarely liked on online forums.
There is a guide on how to use DrTCP on the DSLreports.com site, if you actually go and visit the site and read the stuff on there you'll soon know what they are. Check them out.
