slowdown

[golden]

Are Idnet pipes cloging up?

my speed has slowed to a crawl in the evenings this week.

[Lance]

I've not noticed any slowdown at all, and no one else seems to have mentioned it either. Have you check ed the status of your BT exchange? There could well be congestion there.

Have a look at the FAQ here to find out how to check it.

[Philip]

nothing wrong here, and my exchange has been showing red since December last year

I have two lines coming in, one is on A&A which is perfoming ok,

the one on Idnet is slow

[Gary]

Everything is normal here as well, no slow downs

[Lance]

I've just run a BT speedtest and it looks fine to me...

Yet Speedtest and others show my line's performance is spot on

I haven't managed to get the speedtester to work for ages, but I haven't noticed any slowdown here.

[Simon]

Let me just check something, when you guys get the speedtester to work, you're putting in xxxxx@idnet.gw5 (or varient of) as the user name, yes?

[Gary]

yep xxxxxx@idnet.gw5 using IE though

Something's very wrong with that. Can you post line stats from the router, including errors?

How long's the router been 'up'? You've had 258757 errors in that time, and the line rate has dropped below your initial sync speed (2280).

[Rik]

400 errors a minute, that's pretty high and would cause a throughput slowdown.

[Simon]

Have to say, mine also appears to be on a go slow at the moment.  In fact, it's like wading through treacle just reading and posting on here. 

[Lance]

Mine, by contrast, is as quick as always!

[Rik]

Are you on GW5, Golden, ie does you IDNet login end in GW5?

[Inactive]

Mine is flying, it never does anything else.

[Rik]

But you, Lance and me are on DSL4.

[Simon]

GW5 does seem to need a good kicking at the moment!

[Rik]

BT again. Simon hadn't heard back from them when I spoke to him today.
