Back to adsl max today

glen · Jul 02, 2009, 11:16:39

Hopefully back to some good speeds again today. Hopefully. Will let you all know for those that are having trouble with adsl2+.

Lance · Jul 02, 2009, 13:10:41

Good luck!

Sebby · Jul 02, 2009, 14:20:55

Fingers crossed. Let us know how it goes.

Ray · Jul 02, 2009, 14:24:59

Hope all goes well, Glen.

Steve · Jul 02, 2009, 17:07:31

Be nice to get back where you were previously,but BT I am sure will try their very best

glen · Jul 02, 2009, 19:18:59

Adsl max went back on at 3.15 this afternoon and at the moment my throughput is 1.9mbps but should be about 7mbps,but early days yet. Here's hoping

Sebby · Jul 02, 2009, 19:20:21

You'll have a 2Mb profile for a little while as always happens when regraded, hence the 1.9Mb throughput.

glen · Jul 02, 2009, 19:28:29

Yeah it's only been 4 hours or so since it changed back. Must have patience!!

David · Jul 02, 2009, 19:40:58

Good luck Glen im waiting

D-Dan · Jul 02, 2009, 20:44:11

I'm waiting with baited breath on this one, since I'm seriously considering doing the same.

As an aside, was there any charge for reverting?

BT charge IDNet a regrade fee, whether it's an upgrade or a reversion, which they pass on to customers, but it might be worth having a word with them if you have received a particularly poor service.

glen · Jul 02, 2009, 21:31:17

Yeah there was a charge of £12.65 inc vat.

glen · Jul 02, 2009, 21:39:13

My other routers all work again now since the regrade, so I'm back to my Billion 5200g which seems to give a better connection than the dg834g

Sebby · Jul 02, 2009, 21:43:15

Nice one.

glen · Jul 03, 2009, 09:27:14

Ok wee update for you. Router reconnected at 8.15 this morning, throughput was 6.3 mbps, but pings are around 200ms at the moment, but it's early days.

Sebby · Jul 03, 2009, 13:05:48

Keep an eye on it, and if pings don't improve, let IDNet know so they can look into it.

glen · Jul 03, 2009, 15:36:34

To be honest I'm getting fed up, all I seem to be doing for the past month is checking my connection for this and that, instead of actually surfing the web, so I'm thinking of looking elsewhere. When I first signed up the connection was fantastic but since the last month or so it's up and down constantly. Hopefully these high pings will calm down.

zappaDPJ · Jul 03, 2009, 16:26:35

Oh dear, this is not what I wanted to hear. Low latency along with reliability is of paramount importance to me. My fingers are crossed for you Glen

glen · Jul 03, 2009, 17:09:05

Found out that it's murray's fault on Iplayer. At least I know what it is now

David · Jul 03, 2009, 17:10:20

Well you cant hurry a murray can you

Simon · Jul 03, 2009, 17:12:00

David · Jul 03, 2009, 17:13:01

too hard to resist

glen · Jul 03, 2009, 21:44:30

Well it did stir up a bit of a racket

Sebby · Jul 03, 2009, 21:45:01

glen · Jul 03, 2009, 21:46:28

Dunno what one was worse $:-\$
