Seriously considering Zen!

This is mine to the same IP address which considering I'm on adslmax is pretty good.

Hmmm, maybe it's the exchange. VP is showing as green at the moment.

It's the right time of day for rural exchange congestion.

No problems here.

Latency is fine, Packet loss on the other hand isn't.

8ms and no loss here.

The exchange serves 30k people.

The last 24 hours have been a bit of a mixed bag for me. Two speed tests both taken at just after 6.pm, 24 hours apart...




Although throughput at this time is excellent, there's a lot of latency and PL around...



The only time it becomes a real pain is when I don't have enough bandwidth to stream iPlayer which is what caused me to take the first speed test (above). Luckily the continual outages I was getting a while ago have stopped so to be honest I'm just grateful for that.
