Thanks Moldova, I appreciate what your saying, are you at liberty to divulge what may cause the outage eg a firmware upgrade/load balancing etc, if this is in fact the case then fine but the end user will suspect a possible issue, with his/her equipment.

I couldnt find any reference to any scheduled outages/updates, hence the post on here, when you read articles about mac cloning and people leaching off the system, you get a bit suspicious i suppose.

It wasnt a major problem just a minor hicup.

What are your problems lowei, not hosting on cod4 search and destroy by any chance.

Ive noticed that since my upgrade, the connection from a gaming point of view, was very good indeed, I never got a laggy game, regularly got selected as host, and basically kicked butt, which is great fun when the connection is in your favour as you will know.

However approx 2 weeks ago, something changed: I cant say for sure but now whenever i check my connection speed to speedtest.net via maidenhead, i get dire speeds, yet to the london server its better, and to outside the uk better again, yet it used to be the other way round

gaming is still ok, but dont usually get 4 bars anymore, ive been experiencing a little lag, which seems to have increased slightly as the days go on.

It just makes me wonder if there is now some kind of management going on with the 50 meg, this isnt based on any fact and could be complete twoddle, but something has changed, as now no matter what time i do a speedtest, it never gets over 20Mb and is usually between 10 to 20Mb.

Lets hope it is a bit of debugging going on, but if this is the case further explanation would be nice to put minds at rest.
