hairyian - Doesn't matter how many times you say it, it physically can't be done, the socket is boxed in. Not living where we can expect a constant power supply of course we have a corded phone. BT have claimed responsibility and we're on the list along with those being reconnected (after the lightening) on the 3rd.
My original post about this was to find out if anyone else was effected.

hairyian - it took me a while to figure out you were just winding me up, I mean surely you'd have noticed what's happening with the lines out west? I know Tavish & Marvin have had een or twa complaints. obviously being 2miles from the exchange, no there will be no need to be in with chocolate busicuts to hand as the exchange is next to the shop. I have internet, therefore can take calls online. As stated before BT have claimed responsibility for the fault being on their end (not our internal lines).

Same exchange as Ghostrider, but pretty good (although Shetlink seems slow?)...

Very erratic too, you get a page or two that loads fine, then the next few just grind for an eternity.

I don't understand why my ping is so high! Not point in having 'faster' internet if my ping is awful.

Have just moved from Sky to the Post Office. Didn't expect much as I know it all sits on the same BT-owned infrastructure. However, after about a week of use I'd say the speed is way better. Odd, especially as Sky claim my account was in no way being 'throttled'...

I've been noticing over the last couple of months that there seems to be some severe network congestion/throttling going on between the hours of 6pm and midnight.

It's so bad sometimes that I can't even get Google to load without repeated attempts, nevermind youtube or iplayer.

I thought BT were supposed to be using this shiny new cable now. Is this the case?... or are they still dragging their heels with it?

The speed is like this between the hours of 5pm and midnight. Anyone else experiencing similar speeds ? Which internet provider are you all with ?

Ho hum - I thought I'd sidestepped all the recent speed issues, having happily breezed along at a mighty 1.5Mb... get home tonight to this

Quick call to Plusnet who say that there has been an "interim update", and there is noise showing on the upstream side (which should have no effect on the downstream?). They are doing an SNR reset (whatever that is) which could take 24 hours to show any change.
Oddly I've not noticed any high pings in recent months despite my pish-poor overall speed (due to distance from the exchange) so at least those issues have missed me.
Has anyone else tried the BT speedtester of late, or it's little brother the (beta) Tester Lite? Both give (me, at least) pointless data such as "0.06Mbps" Download speed just now. Thank {'f' it was funny in Father Ted 'eck'} it isn't accurate!
