Hi,
Ive recently had telewest blueyonder cable internet installed. They said the service was 512Kbs download and 128Kbs upload. But the cable modem itself shows (via the web interface @ 192.168.100.1) 512000bps and 128000bps which are the speed caps (I think?). The thing is, this is lower than 512Kbs and 128Kbs since 1K = 1024bits.
512000Kbs/1024 = 500Kb/s (62.5KB/s as opposed to 64KB/s)
128000Kbs/1024 = 125Kb/s (15.625KB/s as opposed to 16KB/s )
Im very happy with the service and I'm not complaining at the speed. I just wondered if many others have had there cable modem set like this or if I'm in the minority. The modem is a WebSTAR DPX100.
Oh and recently Ive been having quite a few problems with the connection dropping. Ive been having to reset the cable modem which usually does the trick (Im in the Barnsley area - S.Yorks). The modem log shows a stream of errors on certain days. Is this usually due to blueyonder trying to upgrade the firmwares on the modems?
Regards,
Steve
