[Norfolk] [Broadband] 100MB Upgrades

[NeoPlosive]

Has anyone got their 100MB upgrade on NSIX yet? How's it going?

 

We're scheduled for 23/03 (that's if open reach doesn't make it the 3rd cancellation).

[plexer]

Springwood in Kings Lynn are all hooked up I believe.

 

Just remember that it's not going to be 100m/b from the off.

 

Our router arrived today and it's scheduled for next tuesday for the upgrade.

Router was put in last Wednesday. A quick speedtest the sameday reported 60mbps

Just going to gloat a little

 

We have been on 100meg for a few years

This is Norfolk - we've only just stopped rubbing sticks together. It takes us a while, but we're catching up....slowly

100mb here too for a few weeks now, although you cant really tell the difference. Now we're just waiting for the backup ADSL line to be put in and a new cachepilot and we'll be set:)

Had to cancel the install here this time around. OFSTED was in so SMT wanted no disruption. Booked in next Weds now. All the CISCO gear ius here though.

Just got ours here at cromer. Can't see much difference myself but a speed test showed 25 so we are a bit quicker.

I need to move.

Was put in here Friday. Not seen a big change TBH.

 

Just run Speakeasy - Speed Test this one and results are pooooooor.

 

1040 kbps down and 1510kbps up.

Oh dear.

Im getting 17.38mbs down and 3.93mbs up using Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

[DAckroyd]

we had ours installed and were told it was too fast and they been buggering about with it scince I think - don't oftern have a fully stable connection and have had to restart our new router a couple of times cos the radio has been braking up lots

 

SPEED TEST RESULTS: Download 83.64mbps Upload 9.11mbps (speedtest.net as JJonas)

I've just e-mailed Tony C at ICT Solutions about it.

How can internet access be too fast?

[JJonas]

Im getting 16.22/1.82mbs now

We had Paul W in and he said that it was still meant to be at 10meg but their network shaping wasn't working properly

[matt40k]

Sounds like you have a 100MB link to Norfolk LEA, but not 100MB 1:1 internet for each school.

[NeoPlosive]

Spoke with Paul W the other day.

 

Priority is to get the entire NSIX 100MB then county will decide how much extra bandwidth to release, until then all schools with upgrades are capped at 10MB (or at least should be).

[tmcd35]

schools with upgrades are capped at 10MB (or at least should be).

 

Probably shouldn't post this on a open forum - someone at County may just see at 'fix the problem' - but there are no caps here

If someone at county found this they would mark it as being porn or something and block the site!!

[NeoPlosive]

There are a couple of people from ICTS on the forum.

 

They're not so oblivious to our conversations, lol.

[DAckroyd]

I will try not too be TOO rude about them then!

[DAckroyd]

Does county block everyone from downloading from iPlayer? I'm currently stuck downloading the F1 on home ADSL line which is slow (last 2 races have taken 5 days for Auz and 4 days for Malysia to download) they are also only avalible for a week after being uploaded to the BBC server so I get a day to watch if I have time Edited April 20, 2009 by DAckroyd

If anyone is using a school.norfolk.sch.uk address for their logon to here and normally get auto emails about subscribed theads please can you let me know if county have started blocking them or weather I have something wrong at this end?

I think they are blocking emails from my wife but they will come though when she replies to one I send to her first

[BaccyNet]

Anyone else noticed a ticket appear on ICTS helpdesk about an ADSL line??? They are going to have some fun getting that to our server room now the building work has been completed:D
