So slow

old Bill · Feb 02, 2007, 15:07:52

The last hour or so my speeds have droped right down. Anyone else having a problem ? My stats are all normal but I am just geting over a meg download speed.

Inactive · Feb 02, 2007, 15:10:43

6179 Download

373 Upload.

Rik · Feb 02, 2007, 15:12:52

No point in quoting my figures, they're always bad, but I'm at the top end of my range right now.

old Bill · Feb 02, 2007, 15:14:01

show off. I cant borrow some of that can I.

RJM · Feb 02, 2007, 15:36:30

Yes old bill,

Same here this afternoon.

Rik · Feb 02, 2007, 15:45:07

Are you both in the same area I wonder?

RJM · Feb 02, 2007, 16:20:01

I am in Surrey - Weybridge exchange, of which is "Green".

Speed is increasing again now.

It wasn't a major problem for me.

Inactive · Feb 02, 2007, 16:30:00

Well that is a million miles away from me, I couldn't afford a garage in Weybridge..

Rik · Feb 02, 2007, 16:36:45

Ah, but could you afford a connection to IDNet?

Wonder whether this is one of BT's 'little problems'?

RJM · Feb 02, 2007, 16:36:51

I am just outside Weybridge,

I certainly could not afford to live there.

old Bill · Feb 02, 2007, 17:52:28

Well I live in Suffolk. My speeds are still

Have checked my exchange one site says its green and one site says its red.

old Bill · Feb 02, 2007, 17:54:10

Hey if we club together perhaps we could get a shed in Weybridge.

wrtpeeps · Feb 02, 2007, 18:21:39

also struggling to hit 1.5mb speeds...

maxping · Feb 02, 2007, 18:26:45

6221kbps here using Giganews speed test.

wrtpeeps · Feb 02, 2007, 18:30:59

1500kbps here, same tester

old Bill · Feb 02, 2007, 21:38:34

Well I have a problem someware. My sync is the same but my speeds are lousy. Have been since about 14.00. VERY large amount of errors on lint might have something to do with it.

Have been geting that all afternoon

D-Dan · Feb 02, 2007, 22:24:35

I was thinking of building a pre-fab shed in Weybridge. What's the local like?

old Bill · Feb 03, 2007, 07:57:20

Can anyone log in to the BT speed test all I get is this message.

Fine here this morning Bill.
Reminds me that I still haven't got back the 1/2Mb I lost with the new cable

old Bill · Feb 03, 2007, 09:56:29

I wish it was only half a meg. Have lost 2.5-3 meg and upload speeds have gone out of the window. I wish BT would just put in a new line and sort out all the problems once and for all.

old Bill · Feb 03, 2007, 10:01:51

I realy do not want to leave Idnet. But if my line is going to such a pain I might have to look for a ISP with better support hours. I tried leaving my router unplugged overnight but still slow.

Inactive · Feb 03, 2007, 10:07:25

At the end of the day, I doubt any ISP can fix your BT line old bill.

The only realistic option may be to move near to a BT exchange.

I know when I moved here some 30 years ago, I never for once thought that the BT Exchange just down the road would have any real benefit, it obviously has.
