slow

[Rik]

I'll have to leave it to support now...

[David]

No problems here in the Capital..

[Baz]

sorry Rik havent replied to the post I started, just tried leaving it for a while to see if it righted but it hasnt. as I type this page is still 'Transfering dats from idnetters.co.uk' and im a slow typer  .

and yes you are spot on im in county durham which is close to Stirling im on gw5 if that means any thing

[ogster]

I'm near Stirling, seeing serious slow downs various sites since around 6pm. idnet.gw6

[Sebby]

IDNet should be aware of this now and will hopefully get it sorted, whoever is at fault.

[Baz]

dont know if it helps Rik but managed to get a BT test done after about 10+ mins

Your DSL connection rate: 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 4 kbps

This test was not conclusive and further testing is required.

Please wait whilst you are redirected to undertake a second test.


tried the second test but it didnt work never had it ask me to try another test before  said to change some login settings but it didnt work

[Sebby]

Something's seriously, seriously wrong there, Baz. That's slower than dialup. You have full sync and the correct profile, yet an atrocious throughput. Let IDNet see those results.

[Baz]

I know Seb, nearly fell off me chair   thing is over the last 2/3 mins its been lightening fast then all of a sudden back to a dead stop again

[Sebby]

Yep, something not right there. Let IDNet see the results as it might help get to the bottom of this.

[Baz]

will they look in here

[Sebby]

Support have been alerted to this thread, but that was a while ago, so it's best to get in touch personally.

I'm gw6, and my connection has gone to pot   I live in the Borders, near Langholm. I can't even do a speed test it's that slow.
I'll give support a bell tomorrow.

[Steve]

.net from Peterborough seems ok, well as good as anything in Peterborough can be.

[LinLin]

I'm near Edinburgh and started a speed test more than 5 minutes ago. It's still going... will let you know when and if it finishes what the results are.

Too slow to do a speed test here. I even tried a speed test at 512 kps, and it still wouldn't go.
I tried to post here earlier, but the post seems to have been lost.

Hi LinLin, your post was in a different thread, saying about taking over 5 mins to do a speedtest.

It was here, LinLin. 

[trophymick]

Things are back to normal here, now.    Anyone know who/what pulled the plug?
to the fixers.

[ogster]

Fixed here this morning now.

[quandam]

All appears back to normal now in my part of Aberdeenshire

[Rik]

IDNet have heard nothing from BT yet, but given the geographic cluster of those affected, it looks like a node issue.

[Rik]

BT advised IDNet that there was a 'loss of resilience' on the Edinburgh node yesterday evening, but that it shouldn't have been service affecting (their words). We know better, don't we.

[Simon]

It seems, as far as BT are concerned, even if it takes five minutes to load a web page, you've still got a service, so what's the problem? 

[Rik]

It does rather. I can remember another case where BT said it shouldn't affect service and it plainly was, iirc, last time it stopped people logging in.

[Baz]

seems back to norm today.whats this node business Rik and if its at Edinburgh how does that affect me
