Your WBC experience

Perhaps someone could create a mirror that ran to specification. 

You can use my shaving mirror, Bob, I never do.

[bobleslie]

 

In return you can borrow my hedge clippers. 

[Rik]

 

Mind if I pass on that kind offer, Bob?

[David]

  If I were ten years younger Bob 

[Gary]

If I were ten years younger Bob 

Is that a chat up line? 

[David]

I said ten years Gary....

[onlynik]

Yeah, I've let them know, I emailed them on Sunday with my poor results and then again last night, with the slightly improved, yet still slow speeds.  I'll run another test once I'm home.

I've also rebooted the router to see it that would help.  I hasn't yet.

Still disappointingly slow

Can I borrow a cuppa of bandwith 

[Rik]

You make me feel well endowed, David. 

[David]

  I couldn't possibly comment 

[coreservers]

frankly BT are now taking the mickey. seems the work they promised did little or nothing other than raise ip profiles.
personally I suspect BT just dont have the bandwidth available for WBC. soon we'll all be traffic shaped (if not already).

[David]

I have run out of options really they are slaughtering the good names and reputations of some isps imho and causing untold misery for ordinary folk who just want a decent connection.
Its been an education for me but one I could have done without and a lot of money being effectively wasted..not BTs though

Sure, pm me your address and I'll mail you some

Just noticed 

[Simon]

Actually, it looks like Nik's got it all.  Perhaps that's why everyone else is struggling! 

[Sarah]

Thought I'd post an update - sorry my earlier post about my connection was in the wrong thread in Re: Just upgraded to ADSL2 but can't connect (@ #60)  -  it should have been in this one.

Today started well:

18/08/09  6.33

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    Your DSL connection rate: 15320 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  852 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 13000 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 12489 kbps

Throughput at close to 96% of the profile, I didn't even know this was possible.

Around midday another BT test recorded 9308 kbps

Around 2.00 p.m. the router had to be powered down as an electrician working on these flats had to turn off the power for ten minutes, I then ran a TBB test out of interest, at 14:14 this came in at  1797.26 Kbps

This evening another BT test at around 9.00 p.m.

    Your DSL connection rate: 15320 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  832 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 13000 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 577 kbps 

and this one:

So no change here, still all over the place.

[David]

  Sarah boats and same spring to mind 

[Simon]

It was bloody good first thing in the morning, though, Sarah! 

[Sarah]

Mmm ...  it beat all records for highs and lows today   

Luckily the connection is useable, just very odd.

[Simon]

It's not really acceptable though, and not what IDNet would want for you, so I would definitely raise it with them. 

[Sarah]

It is known to Simon, it was on BT's list to investigate, he requested the BT test results today.

I posted here simply as an update to my earlier post 

[Simon]

OK, no worries. 

[Noreen]

Speed went down to 4506kbps yesterday evening but back up to 11122kbps this morning. James says that they are still tweaking my connection. BTW I've had no disconnections.

[Rik]

 

I think they need a larger hammer.

[Noreen]

Well, I think that they are getting there as far as I'm concerned.
