whats ur modem reporting for attenuation?

ATM 210dB downstream, 96 up and it reckons an attainable rate of 21.7mbps

For a fair while tonight I had little to no connection, I was using Tapatalk on the phone instead.

I couldn't remember earlier how to get into the modem, needed a connection to google it

i think thats 21.0 dB down.
and with that attenuation, your cable length is about 1.2km

mine has one failed try and like you i have seen nothing to say it is in progress

am sure it will go to crap soon enough of it own account without chasing it

Mine downloaded yesterday on the second attempt and then installed flawlessly, and is running pretty flawlessly AFAIK.
The only glitch I have found so far is that the volume control on YouTube videos does not work on IE11.
The version of IE11 with Win 10 seems to be quicker than on Win 7.
Microsoft sent an email and asked about my experience. The answer "so far so good"
I quite like the little "phone panel" with weather etc., and the twin pane view.
And this is on a 7year old Hp 700 with a Celeron and 3Gig ram.
Initially the compatability App said that my Video card was too old , but it works fine, in fact it renders youtube now on two clips without buffering, so that is an improvement

OK, I have just tried Edge and the key stroke speed is much reduced even with no HD activity,.


May be related to the fact that my computer is so old.


At first I had no screen background as the way you activate it is different, but googled or Binged and Microsoft has instructions.


But so far everything works even my printer drivers on my 10+ year old HP.
Key velocity OK in IE11.

For those having issues, make sure everything else is closed.

Well I installed Windows 10 on my home PC - and so far, it's been fine...

It failed when Windows Update tried to automatically install it - but when I manually downloaded it - it installed without issue.

I'm not convinced on the performance of "Edge" though - I found that I can type faster than it wants. When that happens it beeps and whatever is in the keyboard buffer is lost... I might go back to Google Chrome...
