Extremely Slow

[Sebby]

Good to hear, Steve.

[Nutter]

So are most people sorted out speed wise now?  Mine has been peforming fine since the re-balancing, though I haven't had chance to move the router to the master socket yet to get a better profile and get the final extra bit of performance.  It's still good though as it is.

It's all been very quiet on that front for a while now, glad to hear your connection is OK though.

Mine would run faster if it didn't have to resend 500,000 corrected blocks each day

[David]

Just read and carried out speedtest Im blistering along and have been since support sorted it out 

[Sebby]

This is good to hear!

[David]

Better to experience Sebby 

[Rik]

Blisters? I'm not sure I agree.

[David]

Im trying to keep up so blisters ? pass the savlon 

[Rik]

You might prefer a paraffin dressing.

[Glenn]

keep away from naked flames though

Digging through some old doc's from Tiscali days

    Your DSL connection rate:  dribbling(DOWN-STREAM),  struggling(UP-STREAM)

Roll on 300 baud, eh, Steve.

[David]

  Nice one Steve

As one of the posters reporting poor speeds, I have to say how impressed I've been by IDNet service since.

Since I last posted, support got in touch with me and following a bit of tweaking my speeds have been much better and certainly outperforming the speeds I got at NewNet.

I have since had interleaving removed from my line in the early hours of Wednesday morning and apart from a few CRCs when the phone is in use, the line is error (and disconnect) free.

I have to say that the BT system is doing its best to not raise my profile, which should by now have jumped from 6500 to 7150.  I've raised a call with Support which should see BT kicking their system into action in the morning.

I'm certainly much, much happier than when I've arrived.

great news, jaydub 

[Simon]

Thanks for reporting back, Jaydub. 

[Steve]

Glad to hear of the improvement I suppose it could take 10 days to get from a profile of 6500 to 7150 as 7000 is the next one up.

[David]

  Good to see Jaydub

I wouldnt say everyone is out of the water yet.  Still it is peak time ish....

Some router stats

ADSL Link                     Downstream     Upstream
Connection Speed          8128 kbps        448 kbps
Line Attenuation            21.0 db            10.5 db
Noise Margin                 9.0 db              23.0 db

Netgear DG834GT with latest firmware.


Does that look normal?

[Steve]

If you not done so collect a series of BT tests and contact support.This what I did and since their intervention my evening peak time speeds have been much better.There is nothing else abnormal with the stats apart from the throughput.

[jaydub]

Well I'm all right, Jack

Just ran a speed test and the profile seems to have jumped to 7150 on the basis of IDNet saying they would log a call with BT in the morning.

Great news.

Can I have some of that speed please?
