Rubbish connection today

[ou7shined]

Arrrgh. I just missed a snipe on an ebay bargain because of this cr*p.

Anyone else?

[Simon]

My connection seems slow to some sites this evening.

[ou7shined]

Most of my pages are simply timing out.

[Steve]

No help but my connection seems fine at present. I can't seen any BT problems listed either.

[David]

A few of mine have timed out Ebay being one of them

[lozcart]

Same here sites slow to load or time out.

[David]

This just timed out  !
The speed test is for reference

[Steve]

I've just had another look a couple of sites I often visit are difficult to access.

[Glenn]

Not much help, but it's fine on my max connection

[David]

Any less and I will give up for the night 

[Simon]

Seems about normal, but I'm still having difficulty accessing some sites, including here.  

[David]

You have mine Simon

[Simon]

No thanks, I'll keep my own. 

[David]

I like my number but not in speed tests 

[mrapoc]

[lozcart]

My connection seems to be back to normal now.

[Glenn]

This is no doubt the issue, as per Simon D's comments regarding the exchange that feeds IDNet 21CN connection

Thanks Glenn.

I missed the other type of sniping with a cross bow in a game of medieval combat.  
Ping spikes up a lot, then down, then up, well, you get the picture. Not checked packet loss yet.
Oh well, early night for me. Strange every time I plan one the net goes down. Must be coincidence, right?

[jezuk1]

My connection is really strange this evening, some things are working, others are timing out randomly. Something not quite right

Ditto.

I know its a BT issue but its just getting to be a little to often for my liking, I know that the big ISP's circumvent this sometimes as was described in a different post and its down to cost really as small ISP's can't afford the resilience of the bigger ones, and I know IDnet do the best they can, but its still starting to test my patience.

I agree with you completely, regardless of who is at fault it is happening far too often now. If it's down to WBMC then perhaps a WBC or LLU ISP can offer better stability. While I'm sure IDNet are doing their best, other WBMC ISPs don't seem to be performing this badly, though they do have a the usual set of issues associated with BT (I'm basing this on AAISP).
