could some one shed any light on this please.
its the stats from my daughters router.had slow speeds lately. I think its a netgear router, kids, :dunno:
shes in Manchester and well, im not ;D
ISP is Utility warehouse or some one through them.struggling to do a BT test at the moment
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 19056 kbps 1020 kbps
Line Attenuation 16.0 db 5.3 db
Noise Margin 6.0 db 10.5 db
Can't really comment without knowing the throughput, Baz, she appears to be on ADSL2+.
how does she tell Rik
Throughput or ADSL2+? The former by a speed test, the latter by asking her ISP, or telling us who it is.
isp is through utility warehouse
would a speed test from any one do

I think they are just a reseller though. How do they classify her service, up to 8 or up to 24 Mbps?

I'd use ThinkBroadband. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html
Up to 16Mb, but the connection in the 1st post shows close to 19mb?
https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/home/internet/broadband.taf
If you have a phone package you can get up to 24mb https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/home/broadcall/
I think she is on the package one as Glenn says up to 24mb. just waiting for her to get in touch again now and for some BT tests
BT tests may not work wih an LLU line, Baz.
just found that out Rik. shes online now and trying another test if it helps.if she comes to the forum will she be able to view this thread as a guest if it would be easier to talk that way
She can view as a guest but not post. OTOH, if she joins, we can talk directly. :)
hmm forgot about not been able to post. ill see wot she says
she got a test done result (http://www.speedtest.net/result/402286312.png)
but she wont join. says we are all geeks ;D ;D ;D ;D
young uns today eh? ;)
router stats are
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 19056 kbps 1020 kbps
Line Attenuation 16.0 db 5.3 db
Noise Margin 6.0 db 10.5
on a netgear 54mgbs wireless adsl2+ modem router dg834g v4
she is connecting wireless
That's terrible speed for her sync, Baz, and suggests ISP congestion. Try a ThinkBroadband test to confirm the result.
ok
well its taking ages to test. she is trying again..........
It's working fine from here, Baz.
yeah and here too :dunno:
theres something not right
They may be port blocking, tell her to try using the port 80 switch.
will do
got a result now here (http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/results/id/123774600813903425373.html)
it said the ISP was TalkTalk but I dont think thats right.shes trying to find out now. the result in post 15 earlier said it is Opal Telecom
They are a reseller, Baz, so it's entirely possible. Whatever, that's a rubbish result for the sync speed and if she can change ISP she should.
If you can PM me her IP address, Baz, I can do a lookup for you.
How about from http://www.speed.io/index_en.html

Hey Baz doesn't the banner in your signature tell her? ;)
If your daughter's viewing this topic right now, Baz, it comes back as Opal Telecomm.
Opal is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Carphone Warehouse, so could be on the Talk Talk network.
I'm surprised the throughput is so low, even if it is the TalkTalk network. It's actually not that bad...
It's a rubbish throughput for the sync, though, isn't it, Seb. :(
Yeah, absolutely terrible. I'm just saying that I wouldn't expect such a poor throughput even from the likes of TalkTalk. :(
Ah, the innocence of youth. ;D
:hehe:
No, seriously, I know a few people who are on TalkTalk. Whilst their customer service is the pits, the actual network seems to be okay. :)
Don't forget this is in Manchester. :evil:
thing is its been spot on for about 4 months now and its just over the past few weeks thats its slowed
Classic signs of congestion on the network, Baz. :(

right im off now guys. see ya later. thanks for the help.
Hiya!
I had to sign up, it was frustrating reading the comments but not being able to reply!
So yeah, hi...thanks for all that, and you're right it, is Manchester, after all! But the connection has been really good up until a couple of weeks ago. There's a notable difference now, can't stream things smoothly anymore etc. Odd....
You're welcome, Baz (and Pea). :)
cya later Pea, feel free to call in ANY time.
dont talk about music guys, or festivals or stuff like that. :no:

We have to boost numbers somehow, Pea. :welc: :karma:

It sounds like the network has taken on more customers than it can service. Have you noticed if it's better first thing in the morning?

Only if you watch it. ;D
Haha oh charmin i'm just an extra statistic for your forum ey! ;)
I'm not sure if it's better on the mornings, I shall keep tabs of it though. I might see if i can get through to the tech support for utility warehouse, can't imagine them being much help though..
Watership down is traumatising!

When I was a lad........
Only if you are a rabbit, Pea. :welc:
Not an extra statistic, Pea, a very special statistic - as far as I know, a unique one. :)
See what speeds you get in the morning. If the results are markedly better, it's well worth kicking up (it is either way, but better results in the morning pretty much confirm network congestion).
I found Bambi traumatising. ;)

Any better hard wired?
Unique? What's he been saying!?
I'm not good at mornings, but i'll see what i can do, cheers. I'll try wired up too, cheers.
It's disney films, they're scarring! I'm not sure if watership down is even disney, actually, but the childhood films are definitely unnerving viewing!
So were the Brothers Grimm. ;)
Baz hasn't said a word, but afaik, you are the first father/daughter membership we have had. We have one father/son that I know of, but that's it. :)
Oh yeah fairytales are the worst of all! They genuinely were pretty dark though.
And as for first father/daughter sign up...I'm not sure how i feel about that, you're ruining my 'cool' credibility here! ha!
Sorry, it's my age. ;D
Yeah, that's my dad's excuse, too ;-) hahaa (only jokin' baz!)
Right well thanks for your help guys, I need my coffee fix though so i'm off for now...
Oh, what's this karma business you've got going on? I like it...karma would be appreciated! ;D
Byeeeee
We use it as a way to say thanks for help, for making us laugh, as a welcome or a virtual birthday present etc. :)
:welc: Pea, and another :karma: to add to your collection.

and ease up with the Karmas or I'll be getting shown up ;D ;D
:welc: Pea! :karma: Don't worry, Dad, you can have a Karma too, for bringing her to us! :karmic: ;D
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: thanks Simon.
infact have one yourself for hitting 17000 sorry if I missed it in another post..well done
Thanks Baz. :)
Hiya!
Right, so it seems miraculously better as of tonight. I have no idea why though, because (not that I understand any of this) the router stats aren't much different to the ones Baz showed ya earlier;
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 18931 kbps 1020 kbps
Line Attenuation 16.0 db 5.3 db
Noise Margin 6.2 db 10.6 db
I'm confused :-\ But it seems almost back to normal speed anyway, so I don't s'pose it matters! :thumb:
Good to hear, Pea. :thumb:
Let's hope it stays like that. :fingers:
Almost certainly network congestion, Pea.
yes good to hear indeed. Keep an eye on it Pea and let the guys know ;) ;D ;D if it drops again.
might have just kicked some one into action with the email contact the other day :dunno:
