Ghostrider Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 ^ Aye, its no the greatest.... http://www.speedtest.net/result/2270938410.png Very erratic too, you get a page or two that loads fine, then the next few just grind for an eternity.

JAStewart Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 http://www.speedtest.net/result/2271114307.png I don't understand why my ping is so high! Not point in having 'faster' internet if my ping is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equality Street Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 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'...

Could it not also be the route(s) that Sky/Post Office use? Hope the better speed continues for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabiaTerra Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAStewart Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Shockingly, my speed is great tonight. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2284025466.png EDIT: 6 minutes later nevermind... http://www.speedtest.net/result/2284036718.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerwicklad Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 http://www.speedtest.net/result/2288396081.png The speed is like this between the hours of 5pm and midnight. Anyone else experiencing similar speeds ? Which internet provider are you all with ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the case?... or are they still dragging their heels with it? I've been exactly the same for the last 2+ months, always after 8pm and at weekends. Also, I'm with PlusNet and the other day I paid the £5 extra per month to get a priority(?) line whatever, made no difference!!! Called Plusnet today, another round of checks, but when I called an automated message told me that they were experiencing problem in my postal code area.

Hector's House Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 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 thishttp://www.speedtest.net/result/2288679732.pngQuick 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
