They still do here. Just done, a minute or so ago. It's a 'good' night as well!  ::)  :shake:

Given that a few forum members are no longer with IDNet, but still discussing WBC issues, I wonder if it would be useful if those members could indicate in their sig, which ISP they are now with?

You get the impression that there's a capacity issue somewhere on the BT side, whether it's backhaul from nodes or congested VPs. Odd that they can't seem to find it.

I did a BT test at 10am this morning and got the attached result however I did a speed test at TBB ten minutes later and got speeds of 3.01Mbps and 0.8Mbps. That seems strange to me.

Neither's a good result for that profile, though, Noreen. :(

I would have thought that the TBB figure would be the higher of the two, not the other way round. The BT result is the highest I've had for several weeks, usually been getting around 1 - 2Mbps. I noticed that the router logs show that the connection was down a lot yesterday.

Personally, I trust the BT result more than any, Noreen. When it works, it's pretty accurate. The others always work, but are prone to server load. I wish I had an explanation for the problems that you, and others, are seeing - and I would bet IDNet do too. Something is wrong, it's not just affecting IDNet, but BT seem strangely unable to find out what it is. :(

I've been OK with WBC, though it's not as stable as Max for me. I find it hard, though, to recommend anyone move to it until we see an end to these problems, particularly as there's no way back.

Oh I think they know more than they're letting on. They just don't want to do anything about it.  :o

When I am no longer with IDNet, I won't post in these sorts of threads.. I agree it would be silly to do so.

I disagree, Ann.  It's useful to see things from "the outside", as any data we can gather here may help towards resolving some of the issues.  :)
