Lo peeps,
I have been suffering the same problems... Only noticed this thread yesterday.
My initial problem started last Thursday - complete loss of connection for a solid 2 hour period. Again, yesterday the same thing happened, completely lost my connection for 20 minutes, then it suddenly came back.
Now, a few peeps here have mentioned online gaming as being unplayable - I am getting this exactly. While downloading seems ok (when my connection is up) i have what seem like massive lag spikes. This is also noticable when pinging the game server IP's.
I have had 1mb broadband for over a year with no problems (apart from email
), but everything else has been superb. Now i have 1.5mb it seems to have gone downhill, especially in the gaming dept, which is what i use my connection for most.
Engineer is coming today, Ill post the outcome of this (if any) when i have more info
PS I'm Baguley (Cheshire) Area
