Trace it - what does the hop before suggest?

Blah blah whatever. Remember the above when posting your sanctimoniious nonsense.

Yes I'm aware of what it means to be a parent given I've a 7 year old daughter and was made redundant not all that long ago.

Your company was suffering legal action when it wound up, no excuse or explanation behind this and you lied to clients right up until then, there is evidence on the interwebs of this for those who google irage hosting so don't try and paint yourself as some kind of wronged party - you screwed up offering services you couldn't deliver on and paid the price.

Either way it's irrelevant to this issue. People who are as technically capable as you think you are don't broadcast themselves as being on the phone tech support for a PC reseller. Your CV is BS as evidenced by your total lack of knowledge of the major MS protocol MAPI, you blagged the job you are in if you forwarded the CV you posted here and are offering ill informed advice on this forum. I would recommemd a period of lurking on here to soak up some information from the several useful posters here but it's probably a tad too late to wind your neck in so you post random nonsense largely based on my sticky in this forum along with a few other things you read on the internet. No substitute for experience. If you don't know what you are talking about do shut up, good man.

I'm asking everyone to play nicely and stick to the topic.The rudeness will stop and we will all deal with one another in a civil manner please.

There is a perfectly good ignore function available for those who don't wish to read each others postings..USE it please.

Stick to the topic from now on.Anymore off topic postings will be removed .

Gotcha. nslookup 194.117.133.226 gives cache-kno.cableinet.co.uk.

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Bingo! :)

OK - now we've established Knowsley (further from Hemel than Reading), I beg to disagree in a specific manner with you.

The OP's specific tracert spends quite some time in the VM network. If those routes are oversubscribed or in any other way under contention, then slow download speeds would occur.

Of course a tracert to the BBC tells us nothing of the OP's problem cases. So in that respect you are correct.

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

There's no congestion anywhere on the route and there's no congestion on VM's core network. That actually takes a pretty direct route and the VM backbone is quite sensibly laid out given the size of the network, it's a quite standard design.

I was merely pointing out that just because a traceroute has a few hops it doesn't indicate a bottleneck or issue and a bit of a trip around the country on uncongested links isn't going to harm speeds even if the route isn't geographically 'optimal'.

Anyway minor digression, suffice to say that the traceroute and core network aren't likely to be an issue in this case.

I must make a mental note not to drink Cognac again too, it appears to cause me to post my thoughts without them going through the sensible part of my brain which usually keeps them to myself.

Oh - that's what it was!

When Broadbandings got rather sloshed
'Twas Webby that ended up coshed
Accused of the worst
By the man with a thirst
Till Maggy made sure it was squashed.

In the meantimne - what about poor old Hemel's problem?

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Nice

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

You sir are a literary God.

Anyway ignore list has been appropriately amended along with a note to, on the very rare occasions I do drink, ensure that I don't go near a computer. My apologies to the unfortunate audience.

Regarding Hemel, let me just look at the first page again...

.....

Not really hugely clearer. I would wish to see a speed test done via http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk rather than speedtest.net which may help, in addition a ping test from http://www.pingtest.net

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Exactamundo.

The first page says that poor old Hemel doesn't actually have a performance problem! I think he actually acknowledges this around the mid forties posting.

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Back off..

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Tech visit tomorrow, see what they find I guess.

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Backing off, Boss. Shaking da bush, Boss.

Re: XL BB 20 meg has dropped to 4 meg HP1 area
 

Seriously, don't even start.
