Boo...

SH2 arrived this morning. All up and running with 200mb config file showing (http://i.imgur.com/8mzjzeC.jpg), but sadly still same poor speed.
Spoke to CS who logged in remotely and booted me into safe mode to run speed checks - yep, still less than 100Mb. Been told now to wait 24hrs to "let it settle down"... Jeez.
Starting to regret making that telephone call now.

:td:

It's absolutely constantly poor all day no matter what time I check tbh.

Welcome to my hell, and even going back to the package before mine is still poor. It's like they put you onto a different segment and you stay there speed irrelevant.

This is now my saviour. VM is being canned in 24 days for good.

Wow..
:(
Boy, do I regret making that call.

Is that the 200mb upload speed? The CS told me mine should stay at 12mb up. :confused:

Wahey - got 92 there! lmao...

Errm. All appears to be well.
And rather than just leave this and not reply so I didn't look a berk, I'll say that in desperation/randomly trying things that were previously OK, I tried a different driver for my network card and it appears to be sorted. :blush:

A salutory lesson in always keeping drivers up to date.

With free apps like I/OBit driver booster etc about there's no excuse really not to.

Indeed that is the 200mbit upload speed.

I wasn't sure to be honest. If you look at 23prince's screenie, his says 18.89.
My upload speed has been at 12-13 all the time I was on 152.

He's showing a speed test of his BT FTTC connection, that's why.
12 (and a little bit)Mbps is the Upstream speed, it hasn't really changed for the 200Mbit.
