I had this modem for several years and found the speed ok. Now using BT hub which seems much faster.

Also had the SB3100 for a long time, 9 years through Blueyonder/Telewest/VirginMedia. VM now upgrading us 2 Mb cheapskates to 10 Mb but I get a mere 4.8 from my SB3100. Anyway, a quick call to VM saying “I need an updated modem” was met with “No problem, it will be with you in 2 working days”.

I guess those that asked before smoothed the path; many thanks :-)

Hey Everbody

I just became a member of this forum

Great job by the admin, mods and seriously every member around.

Yesterday I read that there is a treatment for diabetes on http://www.healthcaredaily.org
Is this way of curing diabetes mentioned actually true, If so I should have found out earlier! The source looks like a reliable healthcare news website

Has anyone tried beating diabetes this way?

Thanks

I get a *lot* poorer performance at the worst times (e.g early evening). Like this, for example: ...but a few hours later, around 10am it's back up here:

So you got the new modem. Does it hold 18Mps or does your broadband cable speed vary drastically with the number of folks online?

I have someone throwing in a 3100 with a Linksys wireless router and although I’ll be limiting myself to 5Mps for now under the Charter Package, I’m also looking at the Netgear Wireless Gateway that should support everything (although a friend who JUST yesterday upgraded to the 10 mps, for 5 bucks more a month, sez he’s not seeing much difference in true speed). Charter is offering 16Mps for 25 bucks more, but until they make it at least 30, I ain’t wastin’ my time with it. My current DSL commection claims 6Mps BUT is only chunking down 5.

Anywho. Thanks for the information.

Update: now it's really got faster. Good work, Virgin/NTL.

Update: they've switched me on to 20Mb and although it's nowhere near that, it's got a little faster. Which is nice.
