gafynandrew Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Cable fixed at 2.15pm todayIt may be fixed but it ain't working correctly for sure , my pings this afternoon are up to 2400 m/s and download speeds of a pathetic 0.14 Mbps . Maybe someone somewhere at BT needs to turn a switch on ? Online gaming , Skype etc are impossible , turning into a ******* joke this supposed service (Not yours Marvin , BT's). Yep....same here. Ping is hovering at around 600ms with a 1mb download speed. It was fine up until around 1pm and it's been awful since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I have no idea how BT have their network configured so I can't help with any further info at the moment. If I find out anything else tomorrow I'll let you know. It is of course possible that there are other problems not related to the cable.

Ghostrider Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 It is of course possible that there are other problems not related to the cable. What! You mean they maybe knew of other issues, were burying them under the "broken cable" excuse, and not telling everyone everything up front. Surely not, BT would never do such a thing, would they!?!. Hmmmm....I wonder if my speed steadily dropping day on day in the last 3 or four days before Christmas to be where it still is, but BT only admitting that there was a fault as of the 28th might be a clue to something.

DizzyKipper Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) About 8.15pm (ish) I was watching my ping and packet loss on teamspeak... and it went to normal in front of my eyes! I think maybe they had to test the cable etc before they gave the greenlight for BT & co to use it. http://www.speedtest.net/result/3227288978.png GR is yours STILL bad? Actually maybe I should stop posting it's better as then usually it goes bad again. Edited January 12, 2014 by DizzyKipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlinkedstudent Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 They ran out of duct tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 They've obviously not made enough room for TT to be squeezed in yet, the ping maybe be normal(ish) but download is still pitiful, and spiking all over the shop, graph is like saw teeth..... http://www.speedtest.net/result/3227294825.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabiaTerra Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 After a two week blackout, it came back on yesterday at around 5pm... for about ten minutes. Went down to the old's for tea, and when I got back, it was working again. http://www.speedtest.net/result/3229236675.png Waiting to see now whether talktalk actually try to charge me for the blackout time.

petergear Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I got in touch with TalkTalk, to request:That they ask their management to look into subscribing to the "backup" system.That they weren't to charge me the full fare for the 2 and a half week blackout.Very happy to say, got a very decent compensation offer from their customer services (a lovely South African wifey I spoke with), and better still, she said she would put the word to management that Shetland needs the backup option. The more customers who do this, the more likely TalkTalk is to sort the problem out for the long-term. If no-one raises the issue, they won't do anything.

JustMe Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I am in shock. Did a speed test just now and my download speed has jumped from around 2.8 to 4.2mbs. OK so you high speed types in and around Lerwick will think this is a mere trifle but for the wilds of North Yell at the end of a long copper wire it is exciting.......well mildly exciting. What can have caused this?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
