[Welshchris]

can u give us the modem power levels?

[Peter_]

Post what modem you have and your power levels from your config pages of your modem. The should be a sticker on the bottom saying what model.

If using an Ambit modem please click here

If using any other modem click here
http://192.168.100.1/

What I want you to post is the Downstream power levels including the SNR and the Upstream power levels for me thanks.

DO NOT POST YOUR MAC ADDRESS OR SERIAL NUMBER

[BenRyder]

I'm having problems in the PO15 area. I'm on 10mb but currently getting around the 1mbps area according to a speed test.

Also all sites are VERY slow to load.

Hi,

I think that you'll find that it's a problem with the speedtest.net website. I'm in PO8 and get similar results using that test and speed.io. If you use the test on this forum or the thinkbroadband (formerly adslguide) tests, the results show normal speeds.

[ro53ben]

Take a look at http://speedchecker.org/?result=9831612956900f8519b2e71bea133995 - the results for me are good, I think it's fairly under utilised compared to most test sites.

[DigitalShadow]

no, that test gives the same speed as a download from microsoft also from virgin and also if i try to stream SD iplayer it freezes. It is being really slow today.

Just so you know i'm not an IT novice, so I have done all the things to rule out a problem at home. Must just be busy in my area tonight.

We are all on 20mbit, dunno, what is the first part of your postcode?

[dunno]

[DigitalShadow]

Can get to 15 Mbit on torrents, but iplayer refuses to work

[portchieboy]

I live in PO16., have just registered for the upgrade from 2Mb to 10 Mb., and am getting between 40 and 65!!!!!

[DigitalShadow]

40 and 65 what?

kb/sec?

[portchieboy]

Mbps!

[DigitalShadow]

only if you have the 50mbit modem, the other modems max out at around 35 ~ 38mbit

[fugu]

Im in PO4 gettin less than 1Mb/s too.... must be gettin upgraded as everywhere else around here has been already.

[rjsetford]

I'm in PO9 and getting dire speeds.

Having spoken to support, they confirmed that there is a fault in the area but they can't say what it is (they don't know) and can't give an eta for a fix.

Utter crap.
