MJ Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 2miles fae the Walls exchange been worse than dire for 2 days. 1 router on plusnet the other on orange - not often that they both play up. noticed the banks RBS & HBoS both have been having problems, anyone else having problems? when I do the speedtest thing my closest server seems to be torshavn. Not named on the plusnet account and cannot be arsed with orange, they keep trying to switch us over to EE (and pay for broadband? I ask you? why pay for something you get for free?)

Marvin Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am having (what seems like)contention problems on the Bixter exchange at the moment. Fine through the day and then speeds drop to almost unusable in the evenings. Anybody else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 ^ BT must be directing all the oomph northwards, as there's sod all coming south here. http://www.speedtest.net/result/3068298641.png Okay, marginally better than last night, but I'd normally expect a ping around 50-60 and a download no lower than 1.0 Mb at this time of night on average.

bobbyw Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am with plus net and for the past week it has been very slow or unusable. Is there a problem affecting parts off Shetland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am with the "proper outfit" called Plusnet but it has been anything but proper lately. Lots of little drop outs and when I finally decided to try phoning Plusnet they announced a 30min wait for calls to be answered. OK on a free number but still a long wait. In fact the speed has been fairly constant around 2.75mbs which is a little slower than the best I get but not that much. Sadly BT put the exchange where there are very few people but I guess in the days before the internet that did not make too much difference for phone calls. Did see Tavish was talking about faster broadband for Shetland. Maybe we should all write an e-mail to him every time we get really low speeds or the service drops. Well I can write e-mails when I have no connection although I would have to wait for service to resume before I could send it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
