anyone else getting VERY slow speeds? i'm speeding along at 32kbps

RobMc · Sep 10, 2007, 21:44:06

Hi, it's not as quick as usual here in Cheshire (Willaston exchange) but it's over 3Mbs. Perhaps a local exchange problem?

Rob.

Possibly (probably) unrelated, but I did experience a couple of PPP sessions outages.

I had the same with 2 outages last night between 11:52 and 11:54

Thanks, Noreen. I wonder if there was a Radius server problem last night?

Noreen · Sep 11, 2007, 09:47:38

There are also people over on the IDNet forum on ThinkBroadband mentioning the same problem.

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 09:56:14

I noticed.

Kheldar · Sep 11, 2007, 10:15:08

yeah my conn has been even slower than normal in the past 24 hrs, if thats possible !

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 10:20:23

I've not seen any speed issues, just the PPP session loss. Have you run a BT test to see if your profile has dropped?

Morning Rik I had the same issue as well, on the last day of training as well

left the router off this morning for 30 mins anyway, any news on what happened?

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 10:32:40

Not yet, Gary, I've got a call in though...

Gary · Sep 11, 2007, 10:37:21

Did I even need to ask, on the ball as always. Thanks for the update Rik

I'll check back later to see if there is any news, I'm fighting a nasty stomach bug so I have to dash off now and then!

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 10:38:12

I'll cross my legs for you.

Immodium time?

Simon · Sep 11, 2007, 10:53:24

I read / heard / was told somewhere that by powering off a router for a given period, something like an hour I think, when powered back on, it will automatically 'retrain'. Is there anything in this, or is it just rubbish?

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 11:03:06

Shutting the router down for 30 minutes will cure a stale PPP session, the quicker method is to login to the BT test domain.

Last night's problem, though, was a router having a hiccough. Now cured.

Oh yes indeed, oops gotta go again

Kheldar · Sep 11, 2007, 17:35:14

i tired that speedtest.net and so far its still running or not worked !

thats how quick my conn is

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 17:38:03

Perhaps you should use one designed for dial-up?

http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/
http://www.abeltronica.com/velocimetro/pt/?idioma=uk&newlang=uk

Might be better for you...

Kheldar · Sep 11, 2007, 17:39:12

one designed for the old pace linnet 1200 would be more along my lines !

from the bbmax one Rik...

1203 download.
383 upload.

oh the speedtest site worked now...

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 17:44:35

I remember that modem.

The Namesco tester seems to deliver results that are reasonably close to the BT test, but without the hassle. I would imagine you're on a 1500 profile, with a sync ~1700-2200?

i had that modem !

umm no idea.....you know not to ask me technical questions without full instructions !

Rik · Sep 11, 2007, 17:49:56

Just look in the router stats (see FAQ) for the d/s sync speed. The profile is pure guesswork by me.

Kheldar · Sep 11, 2007, 18:09:34
