Very slow speeds NG18

Extremely slow in NG18 today which is highly unusual. I'm on 10mb & getting 400kbps dl but normal upload speeds of 480kbps, anyone else suffering in the Mansfield\Sutton area?

Rubbish speed in Lincoln currently.
Barely useable at times. It was generally OK this afternoon, but this evening is crap.

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Seems I'm getting a very flaky <6Mbps from the Newsgroups, up and down like a whores drawers :/ So nntp traffic is not as bad, but far from stable seeing how it's bouncing about!

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Seem to be getting a brief increase in speed and then back down again. I can only test web traffic at the minute.

I am in Lincoln in the LN6 Area off of Hykeham road.
I am on the 50MB and am getting 1.7 to 2.1 Mb/s

I have had this problem since around mid-afternoon

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Bodes well for the 100Mbps service then :rolleyes:

Nothing on VM's service status page about this!

*Update* Newsgroups shot up to 10Mbps suddenly but http still slow:

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Speed in NG9 has been getting slower and slower over the last few weeks. I am on 10mb and this morning got:

Never had a problem reaching 10Mb before at any time of day/week used to be steady as a rock but seems to be degrading slowly :td:

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Rather than start another thread from me!

We're on 10mbps for the last week or 2 our download speeds have been abysmal yet our upload speeds are fine.
Our double the speed VM upgrade work has been completed & we are awaiting migration to 20mbps & I think that its since this work has been done that we have been having issues.
Anyone else in NG18 having problems?
