I did Rik, first thing yesterday morning and they have contacted BT. Still the same this a.m.

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 09:45:51

BT aren't lightning fast, unfortunately.

There was an incident a few days ago with BT where they upgraded all DLSAM software but the software capped almost all FTTC lines to 2 Mbps (2125k IP Profile).

I'm not sure why you still have it, it should've been fixed monday but seems your problem started yesterday so that's odd...

Thanks for the link.

Have to say he doesn't mince his words does he.

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 11:28:17

He never has. Whether it's the best way to do business with BT I'm not sure.

They do seem to get things done though... If I had to switch ISPs for any reason (other than cost!), AAISP would be on my (very) shortlist.

BT reset at 10.00am. Now OK again.

BT speedtest confogured d'ld now 38717 (test now hangs at this point and wont complete).

It's good at that

sof2er · Jul 22, 2010, 13:09:49

Did you genuinely get 76 Mbps ? or was that speedtest bugging out somehow...I'm usually lucky if I hit the 38 mbps, it's most of the time around 35-36 mbps

klipp · Jul 22, 2010, 13:11:51

Seems a tad unfair that some people get 35mb, and cable customers get 50mb, yet I only get 1mb.

Lance · Jul 22, 2010, 14:00:45

76mbs would have been an error unless it is FTTP/H

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 15:20:06

Probably caused by the AV software.

The Speedtester ought to say "Please do not move away from your screen otherwise you miss it,you going so fast'

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 16:10:29

joe · Jul 22, 2010, 16:53:46

I take anything over 35ish with a pinch of salt. It seems to be averaging out at 35ish. I've been using speedtest rather than BT because it was hanging on ie8 but having tried it on Firefox (3.6.3) it completes and gives the attached

Go away, you're making me jealous.

psp83 · Jul 22, 2010, 17:16:03

Ban them all Rik!

Rik · Jul 22, 2010, 17:17:44

Don't tempt me.

psp83 · Jul 22, 2010, 17:21:33

Or find out where they live and I'll go downgrade them

Now where did I put them bolt cutters

sof2er · Jul 23, 2010, 15:09:53

For a few days I was only getting 31-32 mbps, so after I today powered my modem down for 1 hour and then back up it's going at almost 38 Mbps now

(Which does show that the re-synch thing is still there !)

Rik · Jul 23, 2010, 15:28:45

Doesn't it.
