[HornetUK]

My net pages seem to be taking forever to appear, so I tracked down a speed test on here and got the below, any idaes why its so slow?

Thanks

Any chance of knowing what speed your on there mate? :)

[paulyoung666]

i reckon 600 service but not very well :mad:
@ HornetUK can you post some pings and tracerts for us to look at :)

[HornetUK]

600k never been this slow for the 6 months I've had it :(

Where can I get pings and tracerts tests?

Thanks

Still getting results like the above with 2 usually showing under 200, never had this before all 4 always over 500

[paulyoung666]

if you go to start , all programs , command prompt and type "ping www.nthellworld.co.uk" , let it run , and then "tracert www.nthellworld.co.uk" without the speech marks what do you get ???????????????? , if you get to do this can you paste them into this thread :)

Did that, but how do I paste from there? Copy Isn't an option and select all couldn't be copied?

My net is grinding to a halt this reply page took about 40 seconds to appear!

My D/S modem light is on permanent, I'm sure its usually flashing loads?

[HornetUK]

Most pages aren't even appearing, I get 'The page cannot be displayed' is this a one off tonight or is something wrong with my BB?

Thanks

[Graham F]

I take it you have tried rebooting your conection?

Like someone said, Have you tried rebooting the whole modem ? (And Computer)

To Copy outta DOS, Right Click, Choose mark, Select the text, then CTRL & C, Then just paste back in here.

and heres another speed test straight after above :(

[HornetUK]

I am still suffering very slow speeds as shown above yesterday. Anyone look at the results for ping & tracert?

Thanks

[Steve H]

Hey Hornet, Sorry for not replying sooner, havnt been able to get to the computer. To my knowledge, the traceroutes look fine, but the speedtests obviousley show a problem.

Are your problems just with Viewing webpages? Or have you got problems downloading as well?

Try changing your proxy, It might help, If not post back here. To Change your proxy (In IE), Goto Tools, then Internet options. Goto Connections on the TAB at the top, and goto LAN settings. And fill the following settings into the appropiate boxes.

Check here for details on using a proxy;

This may improve web page loading times. If not, post back.

[HornetUK]

Thanks for that, but its a bit weird after 6 months also speed is going right down at peak times, these are from 6am today all fine

4th 128K took 1875 ms = 69905 Bytes/sec = approx 582 kbits/sec

So its on its way down again with that 2nd one and this now gets slower upto midnight.

Could NTL have recently done something to my connection to slow me down this much?

Thanks

[Steve H]

It might just be due to the amount of traffic with regards to the recent worms, or even the amount of users downloading/uploading in your local area.

All of the speedtests above (your previous post) look perfectly normal for your tier of service :) If you do have any problems with slow web browsing, try changing your proxy, like above.

[paulyoung666]

its not the dreaded oversubbed ubr is it ???????????? :eek: :eek: :eek:

Still slow, may as well downgrade to 150 service :(

[Steve H]

Did you attempt to change proxy to see if it helped web browsing?

[HornetUK]

web browsing seems to be different speeds on different sites some load instant some just have page could not be displayed.

Is the speed test not related to web browsing?

[MrInsignificant]

Looks remarkably like DNS or proxy problems to me but I have been known to be wrong on one occasion :) PM me for a proxy or alterante DNS if need be.
