DSL down this afternoon

Yep, all good here now..

Its interesting to see that IPv6 is still slower though (green part), if I disable IPv6, the green line is up with the yellow line.

I can't test that here- Safari's Flash for OS X has a problem that limits single-thread downloads on either protocol (green) to about 12Mbps, and I have no intention of installing one of the browsers that doesn't (Chrome or, I think, Firefox).

it's Chrome. Oddly I never use Safari on my Mac. I just never got on with it.

I use Chrome occasionally just for the above, it seems pretty slick.

dont know if its related to the recent work but everything seems noticeably slower in loading tonight

Bill · Jul 28, 2013, 21:25:23

Haven't noticed anything slower here, possibly a little "snappier" if anything

Not for me though

Most of the time both lines are pretty close for me. I know we've discussed it here before but never come up with an explanation. It's not even as if I have a high powered machine - it's a four year old laptop. Everything I found online suggested that single thread lower than multithread indicates a problem but what it might be I've no idea.

Tested using Chrome and Win7x64.

Things seem a little snappier to me as well bill, not sure is its a placebo effect but I noticed it not long after the router dropped and reconnected.

The same thought occurred to me

Nothing I've tried that uses objective measurements gives any indication that it's faster, but it still feels that way so I'm not knocking it

Yeah, rub it in

It's still something that's bugging me, I will find the cause / reason one day.

All my tests have been Win 8 64bit - Chrome.

I will try my Win7 laptop and see if it gives different results.

My PC is quite new and fast.. so that shouldn't be an issue.

Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz, 16GB 1600mhz RAM

So it shouldn't have any problems

Just tried my Win 7 laptop, using chrome.

It was done by wireless.

I guess its all down to the router then

You could bypass the router Paul if it's not too much hassle, direct PPPoE to the OR modem
