I can currently access most sites again.

However.. still very slow and laggy, but better than nothing.

[klipp]

I guess I spoke too soon.  It's back to its glorious worst!!

[Andez]

Same here - slow and intermittent connection over the last few days. Worse in the evenings.

[Steve]

 

Interestingly but perhaps not totally unrelated BT have confirmed that congestion on the Birmingham 20 CN BRAS is caused by themselves throttling their own network which they then obviously then pass on to the ISP. I think it's all falling apart. I think we're in for a rocky ride whilst adslmax,adsl2+ and now FTTC are all in the same pot.

[klipp]

We on the Peterborough node are into month 2 of only having internet for 12 out of 24 hours each day, so I suspect you're right about it being a problem for the long-haul.  BT claim to be monitoring Peterborough node as we speak, yet nothing's been fixed.

I can't wait to hear BT's spin tomorrow...

[Simon]

    Andez.

[cwmusson]

We on the Peterborough node are into month 2 of only having internet for 12 out of 24 hours each day

... and I'm out at work for most of the good half day

[cwmusson]

It's still broken, so that's no usable connection for the entire evening once again.

[cwmusson]

The problems lasted until 5.15am this time.

[PuncH]

I'm not normally one to jump on the compensation bandwagon, but I think on this occasion we're well and truly due something from BT.

[Ray]

Andez, 

[klipp]

Forget about us being compensated.  It'll never happen.

The aaisp blog suggests that tonight we might be looking forward to an evening of having a working connection.  Here's hoping.

[Simon]

I think I'm right in saying that BT have no obligation to provide a broadband service.  A perfect get out to avoid paying compensation. 

[Sarah]

Here's hoping.

Joining you in hoping, Klipp. I'd been away and having returned Sunday night to the same problem, the updates here are very useful.

[Glenn]

I think I'm right in saying that BT have no obligation to provide a broadband service.  A perfect get out to avoid paying compensation. 

Just voice and 28k data I believe.

[Rik]

Although that applies to the level of service, there may be a separate SLA for those on broadband who's service is interrupted. If enough people were to email Ian Livingstone, there would probably be a payout.

[cwmusson]

It's that time of the evening and the internet is still working 

[Technical Ben]

Well I didn't download anything yesterday, and I am back at work this week. II also don't stay up to the early hours of the morning. So I think I'm off the hook. 
I'm only 20 miles from Peterborough, but have not had any problems. I get occasional breaks or slowdowns in connection, but it's usually due to me tripping over the router.
However, I don't know what pipe I am routed through. How do I find out?

[Rik]

Ask IDNet, Ben. They will know which node you're on. When you reach the IDNet network, we're now all on the same hostlink.

[PuncH]

So far, so good 

[Rik]

I think BT have everything crossed too, Jonathan.

[klipp]

My internet still works........ *faints*
