Very slow speeds

[zappaDPJ]

My connection has been abysmal all night with virtually no bandwidth on the downstream. It's actually too slow to run a speed test. Pings are fine, the upstream is ok, I'm just wondering if anyone else is having issues?

[EDIT] Actually although local pings are fine, pings to long distance servers are off the scale.

[zappaDPJ]

It got worse and finally died although I still have sync. I've switched to another connection on WBC which is fine so the problem lies somewhere within the 8mb service.

[DorsetBoy]

Garbage here too. Everything went to a crawl last night and I gave up.

Adsl dropped and synch is now down from 8128 to 5455. SNR up from 8 to 14db and interleaving on. Never had a drop in line or synch in 3+ years here,interleaving has not been on and the SNR has barely altered from 8db till now.

3 times in the last week the DrayTek has shown that the adsl has dropped,why  now after a totally stable line for over 3 years?

Dropped sync, Dorset?

[Steve]

Mine has been fine,IDNet status is showing normal service unfortunately my other source of information (AAISP) has not updated for several days.

Dorset you're connection's gone up the swanny. Noise/interference from somewhere?

[DorsetBoy]

Dropped sync, Dorset?

Synch was fine last night but speeds were dire. Overnight the DrayTek shows that Adsl dropped  but system and connection stayed up.

SNR was up to 14db from 8db, now back at 12db ,interleaving is on at depth32, nothing much in errors.

Neighbour next door on Sky 8MB has no issues,fast path,full synch SNR 6db. Neighbour other side, on Orange 8MB no issues,full synch,no noise recorded.

Rebooted the DrayTek just now which brought the synch up slightly.

Let support know, they can take a look from their end.

OK, I think I need to back track a little. My problem could have been a router issue as I may have swapped between two Netgear routers and not between connections. If SMF logs IPs by post then the second post I made above should be on a different IP. If it isn't then I definitely have a router issue. Confused? You soon will be  

[Rik]

Two different IPs, Zap.

[zappaDPJ]

Thanks Rik. I didn't expect that, now I really am confused. I'm pretty sure I'm still connected to an 8MB connection i.e. I didn't swap to WBC. I'm not sure how I got served a different IP... ah... just typing to myself... I have 3 logins to IDNet saved to 3 different modems. Changing login but staying on the same service would probably give me a new IP?

Seems to me that one of the gateways (for want of a better term, gw*) could be having issues?

[Rik]

Let me ask...

[zappaDPJ]

Cheers, I'm off for a hospital appointment so I'll continue to investigate upon my return

[Rik]

I can't talk to support right now as the phones aren't working, but I've asked them to take a look at this thread. Good luck, I have a similar journey to make this afternoon.

[adamr8965]

No problems here all is well so far.

[Rik]

Careful, they'll all want to come round and share.

[adamr8965]

Ah you'll never guess my wep key for the wifi. hahahah

[Rik]

I'm bringing a cable.

[Glenn]

Ah you'll never guess my wep key for the wifi. hahahah

There are ways of cracking them 

Use WPA it's more secure

[adamr8965]

well i use wpak 296474 key if you must know, even i dont know the password 

[Rik]

Fred.

[adamr8965]

wrong, bungle 

[Rik]

The boogie woogie bungle boy from company B?

[adamr8965]

[Rik]

The van should be delivering the other end of the cable shortly. 

[adamr8965]
