Re: Shockingly Low Speeds Today...
 
Shockingly bad speeds for a few days now in the Teesside area. Tried different speed tests and get varying results. Tried downloading from Microsoft and get 200 - 215KB/sec. Thats computer connected straight to modem ( NTL:250 ) by ethernet. Have not rang them yet like.

Plugged back in to router, now getting 100KB/sec. I used to get 10MB or there abouts anyway.

Out of interest, can you ever achieve anything that would even remotely resemble the 10mbit/s (I assume this is what you're on?) in London?

Hi,

Are people in Cosham having really bad connection speeds today also.

I'm on the 10Mb package and I'm hardly getting 1.5 Mb download at the moment.

Thanks.

Phil.

Still, speed tests show connection as being fine.

I get 6MB from that, but only 1 - 2MB from downloading from Microsoft.

Yes I'm only on 2MB so I guess that's not bad :)

got a little bit better on Teesside but nothing to get excited about, certainly not 20mbit yet :(

Ive been on 10 meg for about a week now and never had anywhere near 10 meg speeds... average is about 5000 download speed and 500 upload speed on www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk.

when Im downloading stuff I just get similar download speeds as when I was on 2meg.

Been like this since Wednesday night, Teesside also. Someone else from Teesside posted in another thread that his speeds were fine but apparently Teesside is split between those that get fed from Stockton and those fed from Middlesbrough.

I've been experimenting with different proxy servers and the difference between them in terms of speed can be incredible - anything from 1 meg to 8 meg down.

Well Im from Thornaby ( even though it says Middlesbrough lol ) which will be classed as the Stockton on if what you say is true and ive also been getting bad speeds.

Re: Shockingly Low Speeds Today...
 
Just quoting what the engineer gave me as a reply when I questioned if Teesside was always problematic then why other people I know from Stockton and Middlesbrough don't experience the same consistent problems.
