Turned out I am not in the cab near me and further away but the adjustment there wasnt enough so they then did some recabling outside the property, was here for about 2 and a half hours, by the time he finished it was 4.30 and normally speeds at that time are easily below 6mbit. Downloaded a test file at 950kB, have done some speed tests since then and they have all been above 800kB the last one 5 minutes ago at 970kB at 10pm amazing!!!.

All lag is gone in ssh all running smoothly, shaked his hand afterwards for a job well done. the traceroutes are still all over place but actual service is good so that is now irrelevant. New downstream powerlevel is -2. Web pages also are much more responsive and I have been using the leics proxies.

Can I have the engineer's name and number please...:D

You have one too sir.

Re: I dont think this will get any better

it isnt perfect have seen speeds dropping quite low tonight 2-3 meg but it is still better then before the visit, the hours of slowdown are vastly reduced I will see how it pans over the week.

I have also noticed a difference on tv sky sports previously it used to flicker a lot now that problem is gone.

Ok things are bad tonight.

Speed

main problem speeds way down again and below 2 meg levels, some lag in ssh. Friday may have been lighter because people were out but I hope it wasnt for that reason and will see if mon-thurs is better then usual. I wont be ringing up regarding this yet until then.

Re: I dont think this will get any better

Gah I was afraid of that, hopefully this is just a one off. Your speeds are low even for a congested downstream. The pings, sadly, fit it nicely though :(

Re: I dont think this will get any better

Unfortenatly I have been out all day so havent been using it during the sunday daytime.

Re: I dont think this will get any better

I am sorry to report this but on net tests (ntl) I am getting about 1.5mbit, any kind of external traffic is around 0.5-1meg.
