Thanks, Drummer. It seems like Londoners are doing best.

Well I've just posted this and it appears to have vanished in the ether, so here goes again. I'm in Washington, Tyne & Wear, and the BT speed tester usually works fine in IE7, never in Firefox 2.0.

I am in Brixham, Torbay, S.Devon.  Using IE7 - 570 mtrs from the exchange - No Problems (but with all you others trying, it says "busy, try later", at the moment!).  ;D

Were you using the QR box or the normal reply, Colin?

Er, silly question, I know, but you did hit Post, didn't you. I know that I haven't a few times, as I can see the messages and think I must have posted (from using the normal reply screen in the past).

I'm in Horsham, West Sussex. Migrated from Pipex to IDNet 7 days ago.

With Pipex I could nearly always get a successful test, with IDNet I can only get successful tests during the early hours of the morning, except for two successes at around 8pm.



Have also noticed that my peak time speeds with IDNet are a lot lower than they were with Pipex, which is a bit of a shock, although IDNet's absence of traffic shaping has improved my browsing experience.

Rik

What was your profile for IDNet, compared to Pipex?

It could be you are on a congested VP, of course, or possibly you need to tweak MTU?

Stable line, profile 7150 on both Pipex and IDNet, noise margin 8db down, 24db up, attenuation 28db down, 16db up.

Pipex was around 6mb, IDNet at peak times is between 1.8mb - 4mb.

That's bad - and unusual in my experience. Do a few BT tests and let support have the results. I'm sure they'd want to find out why that's happening (my immediate thought, though, is congested VP at the exchange).

Hi! Small world as they say.
We had another, very popular member, living in NAbbot.  His forum name was Kheldar, but he hasn't posted for a couple of months.  Probably too busy with the new addition to the family.
