Any problems due to bad weather?

Got a boost back up to 2.3 Megs thanks to the BT havoc.

Sometimes, bad things do good.

Yep, when IDNet take control of my line might see about getting that NTE5 fitted and sticking an iPlate in to see if I can get any more speed out of it as if I can get 5 or 6 megs I might hold off fibre.

Well something happened this morning at 4am with my 10 min downtime..

I now have my lower, maybe more lower, pings back

This morning the BT speed tester was giving these slightly odd results.
Download speed - 5600 Kbps
DSL Connection Rate - 12752 Kbps
IP Profile - 5500 Kbps
Upload speed - 719 Kbps
Upstream IP profile - 1104 Kbps

Less than a minute after the end of that test my router at least agreed with connection rate:
Up speed - 12755000
Down speed - 1106000
SNR (down) - 15
Loop Att - 29


Whatever the problem, BT still don't seem to have fixed the speed tester. In fact, the results seem even more silly now.
Just now it told me:
Download speed - 8251 Kbps
DSL Connection Rate - 3456 Kbps
IP Profile - 5000 Kbps
Upload speed - 714 Kbps
Upstream IP profile - 448 Kbps

less than a minute later my router was telling me:
Up speed - 12755000
Down speed - 1106000
SNR (down) - 14
Loop Att - 29

So according to the bt tester, I was downloading more than twice as fast as my connection speed! Meanwhile, my router stats hadn't changed all day.

You lot don't know how good you've got it.

I'm only just back up to a profile of 750 from 250 after a weekend of instability.

I came home to see two Openreach vans fiddling with the second closest cabinet so I'm guessing a lot of the problems are being caused by them doing preparatory work for FTTC.

I hope so anyway!

I actually had another bout of packet loss this evening, but that might be TBC (Typical BT Congestion):
