Deja vu! How many more times do we have to put up with this self same scenario, all their cobbled together bits and pieces just cannot take swallow the load.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, whateverrrrrr...... Smartass!

This is why I normally hesitate to ring Plusnet... usually a few hours later it's fixed.

 

I've closed the ticket.

Just crawling along at 6.4Mbs at the moment..

 

The problem IS NOT PlusNet as I very rarely connect at anything less than 6Mbs.

[JustMe]

Colin, the problem may not be Plusnet but if they are my ISP and the service I get is bad for any reason other than my wiring or equipment being faulty then they are liable even though the real problem is almost certainly BTs microwave link and perhaps some dodgy exchanges.

How do you figure it is "fixed" when it is an intermittent fault and down this end it occurs nightly? Granted, the last two nights have seen a greater drop in speed than others but nevertheless, it is dropping, spiking and deffo not remaining at a constant speed? So if tonight it drops like it did last night, will you be raising another fault?

Worse than usual tonight

What am I supposed to do with this?

[Muppet]

I've not been that bad lately, usually getting 6.5mb or down as low as as 2mb occasionally in the evening, but this tonight!

[Ghostrider]

Not to gloat or anything, as its still sh*te, but its hanging in reasonably well here tonight (relatively speaking).

Give it half and hour or so though, and it'll probably be as bad as the rest of you too.

Can anyone beat me tonight?

Seems a little sluggish this evening

I think that the problem must be something to do with the local routing.

If it was the microwave link then everybody would have lousy speeds.

Wrong IMHO. When it was the microlink in the past my speeds would be high some of the time and low at other times (dependent upon how 'loose' the thingymajig at Orkney was and which direction it was pointing). Anyway, apart from those on Shetland Telecom/Broadband, it looks as if everyone posting on here is experiencing a significant drop in speed, are they not?

I think i read on an earlier post about the posibality of gas workers using up peak time conectivity for skyping and streaming movies?? i never found out the outcome.. but it could make sense as at bed time till tea time it seems ok!!!
