Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Hi, Im on 2mb ntl broadband via ethernet and a Samsung STB. I've done the usuall rounds of virus check/port check ect, and i've been having poor speeds over the last 3 days or so. Even downloading is slow from game demo sites and most sites are very slow to load.:td: I looked at a thread on here a few moments ago and its taking 12 seconds to load when its bad!:Yikes: I'm wondering if anybody around or in Burnley is having the same slow speeds. If it carries on looks like a call to CS.. :rolleyes:

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

I am in burnley, seemed slow a few days ago so i changed my proxy, have you tried changing yours.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Yep sure have, just seems the same, even downloading from EA games ftp, im only getting around 50k, other sites are at the most 120k, I should be getting 245-250kps.. like it has been since the 2mb upgrade rolled out.

Here is a test on the Swansea 5

*Off Topic*

Up The Clarets

Sorry just had to say hello to the Burnley peeps seen as I left there 5 years ago and I still miss the place.

*On Topic*

Also my Uncle is on NTL 2mb down there and he is reprting slow speeds. He rung me and told me about it asking for my advice. I told him to call CS. Seems like a bit of a problem down there.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

I've just tried downloading from my webspace also, I'm hosting a few tracks for my good buddy and his band, and the download speed is terrible :mad:

[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

Hey maybe you know the local band ;)

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Wouldn't know the band but your speed definately doesn't look good. I take it you have obviously checked for spyware etc.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

I am on the 1 MEG speed because i am still using a pace STB.
Mine seem fine.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Sorry for double post, try configuring your network card to half duplex instead of auto.(if yours is on auto).

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Hi again, well this morning seems to be an improvement!, all seems back to normal for the moment.. Maybe it goes slow when the network gets buisy?.. Im clean of spyware ect and it was on a go slow it in both win98 (which I havent had to reinstall for over 2yrs! maybe the record!??) :D and win2k, but thanks for the replies:) i'll keep my eye on it just incase it was temporary before I call CS.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

speed problems could of course be somebody using bit torrent or some such near you and maxing out their upload 24/7 thus creating a bit of a blockage. I am in Newcastle under Lyme on 2mb and I have noticed my surfing speed slowing down and speeding up erratically over the last couple of weeks especially at prime time (6 - 10pm). Clean system - no problems with download speeds from files or usenet so nothing to do but hope that the UBR (or whatever it's called) gets improved around here to handle it.Of course, it could be my browser blocking ads and crap left right and centre (using Deepnet Explorer - brilliant pop up and ad blocker), but I have a feeling it is someone close by who doesn't know how to use Bit torrent properly and wondering why they are only get 4k a second download and sharing to everyone else at 20+ (set upload to 10k dimwits - you'll get the speed. Better than that - stop using P2P crap!)I could be completely wrong of course and NTL are just ****e and ADSL really is the way to go.

My web connection has slowed to a crawl. I'm in Manchester and use a silver samsung STP. Any help appreciated.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

eee, nice to see a few more from Burnley on here...

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Similar problem here in Widnes, North Cheshire. Very slow loading pages, etc,
this has been a problem for abt 2 - 3 weeks now, although intermitent.

Denis....:(

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

I have been experiencing intermittent problems too. From here, we route through Baguley. It's been happening for a week or two now - since the 10Mbps upgrade? A couple of nights ago eBay froze on me for nearly a minute and I missed placing a bid. I'm starting to get irritated with it now.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Slow speed on 2Mb for me (in Glasgow) over the past week or so - rebooting the modem clears it up.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

:) Hi (sorry off topic)

I am still on a pace STB, 1MEG no problems at all for me regarding speed at all. I wonder if they can throttle your connection now.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

I'm in Oldham, (Salford UBR)

Having exactly this problem.

Support won't have none of it,

Been like this for days now. Has it stablised for the original posters or is it still like this for you?

3MB Samsung STB.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

I seem to remember that nothing ever comes back after v900 (or v902 in your case). Here's some from me. I don't think they are bad but some of the routing is strange - Baguley, Manchester, Leeds, Poplar, Leeds!

As I'm constructing this reply I'm apparently also suffering from packet loss. Cableforum keeps going quiet on me.

Re: Slow speeds in Burnley on 2mb?
 

Hi Guys

First post, but avid reader :)

In the last week i have been getting diconnected from the net, and ping spikes an hell of a lot.
im on 3mb and play guild wars and elite force(q3 engine) ping is making it impossible. Any of you guys in burnley experiencing this?
