This will give you an idea of how capable your connection is. Note: You should take the highest download speed into account. ntl:World - 512k service Server Download: 17KB/s (136Kb/s) - Poor - this is too low Download through Transparent Cache: 14KB/s (112Kb/s) - Poor - this is too low Download through alternative Cache (webcache.bt.net): 0KB/s (0Kb/s) - **** SERVER ERROR: Unexpected error from Server**** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Section 4: Packet Loss 50 Ping Requests are sent to your server. The packet loss is measured by how many of the packets don't bounce back to the client. High packet loss may slow down your connection. 50 packets were sent, 44 bounced back; 12% loss (estimated) Normal - to be expected ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Section 5: Transparent Cache Page Fetch Time This test times how long your Transparent Cache takes to fetch a page from the Internet. Please note that this test is subject to many different parameters and sometimes may not be 100% accurate. This test can be used to show delays when trying to view Internet sites. The timing takes place from the moment the request for the file is sent to the moment the proxy server responds. Average time taken to retrieve a page: 0ms - At least one of the pages requested failed to download. This may indicate problems with your Webcache. Run the test again to confirm this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Test Statistics: Information on the test Time and Date: 27/12/2003 20:42:37 Test duration: 218 secondsIP address: [Not Disclosed] Username: [Not disclosed] Test Version: 2.81 Broadband Speed Test - www.vantage.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |
Re: Very poor internet in Peterborough again!
assume you have done all the usual, like rebooting modem, pc etc

Re: Very poor internet in Peterborough again!
yes and spent 45 mins on the phone to tech support who kept saying it must be a trojan using the bandwidth even though i could see there was no network traffic whilst he was pinging my IP

Re: Very poor internet in Peterborough again!
Errr I think you may have a localised fault as I'm in Peterborough and the connection speed is fine here.
I know it's annoying but have you checked for Virus/ Trojan infections lately? What operating system are you running and do you have anything running in the background that may be affecting your service? |
Re: Very poor internet in Peterborough again!
I'm in Peterborough (the ortons), and my connection is very slow (i'm on the 1mb service, running XP).

Do you know if you are using a proxy? (theres a tool for that on the frontpage of the forum) I haven't run a speed test lately but the last download I did came in at full speed. Just ran the speed test on the front page (with other software running on my connection) and got this: 1st 128K took 1822 ms = 71939 Bytes/sec = approx 599 kbits/sec 2nd 128K took 1793 ms = 73102 Bytes/sec = approx 608 kbits/sec 3rd 128K took 1782 ms = 73553 Bytes/sec = approx 612 kbits/sec 4th 128K took 1863 ms = 70355 Bytes/sec = approx 585 kbits/sec Can you run the speed test from the frontpage and paste the results in please:) |

Its a lot better than it was Mon, 29 Dec 2003 11:34:43 UTC 1st 128K took 1802 ms = 72737 Bytes/sec = approx 605 kbits/sec 2nd 128K took 2093 ms = 62624 Bytes/sec = approx 521 kbits/sec 3rd 128K took 1553 ms = 84399 Bytes/sec = approx 702 kbits/sec 4th 128K took 1872 ms = 70017 Bytes/sec = approx 583 kbits/sec ill do a full speed test now |
Re: Very poor internet in Peterborough again!
Mine is currently:
Mon, 29 Dec 2003 11:39:43 UTC 1st 128K took 1682 ms = 77926 Bytes/sec = approx 648 kbits/sec 2nd 128K took 1823 ms = 71899 Bytes/sec = approx 598 kbits/sec 3rd 128K took 1782 ms = 73553 Bytes/sec = approx 612 kbits/sec 4th 128K took 1863 ms = 70355 Bytes/sec = approx 585 kbits/sec so it's looking normal now, it may have been a localised fault that has now been resolved and tech support were not aware of at the time. Its happened to me with a total loss of service for a couple of hours, turned out to be a techie working on a local distribution box. |
