FTTC Speed

Is it just me or is the FTTC speed slower the last week? Generally getting about 15 to 20 Mbps down from 30-35 mbps whenver I run a speedtest. (Including BT Speedtester)

Sorry, can't help as I still don't have fibre.

Mines been on 0kbs since Thursday.

Slower than a speeding tortoise.

Hopefully it will be sorted once I'm back home.

Optimist.

I've been monitoring my FTTC connection all week and I've not noticed any change except for yesterday where I had the best ever throughput I've had for my current sync speed which is ironic as I expected the Net to be somewhat congested due to the wedding coverage. My latency was extremely low as well

Other than that it's been the same pattern as usual for me, full tilt except for after midnight.

No speed losses noticeable here either.

Except for a drop in profile when I accidentally kicked the wrong plug out on the UPS

Move the UPS, Bill.

It normally is pretty kick-proof, but I'd hauled everything out to re-arrange the homeplugs for better speed.

At least that worked- doubled the speed to around 20Mbps

I'll try connecting directly to the VDSL modem then tonight.

Well, it seems speed automatically came back to 30mbps+. Must be exchange congestion then as It's a pretty big exchange with 20-30k people.
