Major Problems?

[Simon]

[Technical Ben]

Maybe a stupid and erroneous analogy, if you look at capacity, if you fill an empty pint milk bottle from another pint bottle and pour it fast you spill some -FTTC, pour it slowly no problem adslmax.

Or try racing down the M25 in your Lamborghini = problem when you meet a traffic jam!
Asdl = driving slowly, FTTC = driving fast. Not that there are any dangers with broadband, just traffic jams when the slow meets the fast.

As my connection is down to 1400 downsteam, and 300'ish up, did similar pings and tracert anyway.  Tried with both idnet and opendns.

spikes at the redbus gw2? or is this normal?

[Steve]

I expect will have low priority there. Was anything running on your first set?

[gyruss]

nope. and pc had been on for 5 mins, so no background services doing their connect traffic.

[Steve]

Your router stats looked OK in October has your downstream sync reduced a lot? If not are you not suffering from congestion at your local Exchange/VP

[gyruss]

I'll have to check my routers stats tonight when i get home.   

My stats in october were ok.. i enjoyed a 6mb connection throughout the whole of the rest of winter, and the first months of this year.. then we get this sunny weather in the last week or so and bam, suddenly i'm losing sync.. and getting slow speeds again (see my signature graphic for evidence).

I've got routerstats lite on my pc at home so i'll run that later, and i'll do a 17070 quiet line test next time it drops out too.   


Netgear Router is still in the hall and connected to the filtered faceplate that bt assisted with last year.

No changes to any cabling, or pc's inside the house, and the hall is not a hot room either.
