Well i had a problem in the house yesterday which caused the router to go down and this dropped my sync down to just over 2000kbps.
This put my profile at 2000.. When i rebooted the router i re-sync'd 4000kbps+ higher..
Isn't the equipment in the exchange meant to change the profile within a few hours if its a big jump in speed?
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 2000 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 6208 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1824 kbps
Hi Paul
It depends...
If there was a single low-sync event and your connection recovered quickly, then the profile is also meant to recover quickly. However, in my experience, if there are multiple low-syncs or it takes a while before the recovery, then the 6 hour rule seems to go out the door, and it can take the full five days.
Arghhhh!!! I've got some big downloading to do this week for work :(
Do you wreckon support will get BT to nudge it back up?
Also, what will cause slow loading forums? it seems to be only affecting forums as general sites are fine.
idnetters takes a good few secs to load a page, same as my own forum.
It all depends on the percentage increase, Paul (we're into Adaptive Max Logic territory now). I would class this as a large % increase (though there are no set thresholds, AFAIK, and it depends on how busy BT's sytems are) and so it should take significantly less than the 5 days. In my experience, AML hasn't actually done all that much to help, so you may have to wait the full 5 days.
I know this is a bit vague, but BT's systems are very difficult to predict, so your best bet is to just sit tight and not think about it. :)
The slow forum is being looked into. ;)

Its not just this forum for me, its my own forums aswell.. its like all forums on the net are on a go slow today.
It is a strange one. IDNet have been made aware. :thumb:
It is just this forum that is running like treacle for me, it only seemed to happen when the Mods turned up, I have a theory.. ;D :hehe: :feedmods: :tongue:
:tongue: :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:
I think Orange Bikes are doing good business this weekend. :)
try http://www.team-gash.co.uk
Thats slow for me aswell.
OK here, Glenn as is PC Pals.
And OK for me, as is ISPReview, tis just this forum for me.

:rofl:
PC Pals is OK at the moment, but was sluggish earlier. Not as bad as here though. :(
Things seem to have improved for the moment... :fingers:
Glad they have for you, mine is still on a go slow. :'(
Gorn slow again. :(
It seems to be sporadic Rik.
(Another bit of poetry ). ;D
You're excelling yourself, In. :)
Can people being affected by the slow forum run a ping and post the result please, preferably ping www.idnetters.co.uk -n 20, to get a better picture.
No good asking me Rik, I wouldn't know what a ping was if one run me over. ;)

Normally a ping sends 4 packets, Simon. The -n switch allows you to run a longer test, 10-100 will show up more issues than just 4, or you can use Ping Graph instead...
Oh right. :)
Much better here as well :)
Simon has a way with Samson. :)

Yup i concur a marked improvement!
.......until it wnt down altogether - did Samson decide he didn't want to play at all? ;D
Just had a complete 'down' on the forum, and email is currently down. :(
:hide2:
that's not good :(
Indeed...
Looks like customer login is down too! Can't access my account. :(
I suspect that there's an issue affecting a number of servers, hence I'm guessing it's a router.
Everything is backup to speed now.. well except my pesky profile >:(
The difference is, Paul, that that's under BT's control. :(
Next time you want a rest Rik, please leave the PC on. ;D
It was, I was pinging the site until the graph changed from red to blue. :)
I hope they paid the electric bill :rant2:
I haven't sent it yet, I was trying to calculate my profit margin. :)
