Ouch lol, that is bad. even at an hour apart roughly, your speed seems to get worse lol with the odd minor improvement. Maybe you have some heavy users on ur ubr.
Im / family are mainly effected by network more than anything, as the estate im in, the ubr wont be used hardly during the day, it only slows down mainly after 6pm once kids and parents are in from school &work, but come 9pm im peaking @ 1.7mb from the gamefiles site. Hitting 10 meg conection is ok, due to network allowances thoe.
Saying that thoe, I do notice a slow down in web page browsing during the night after 9pm. @ 00:30 hrs, i hit 1.2 meg steady download, yet web browsing is crap, i.e takes approx 5- 10 seconds to get a web page up.
personally, with current speeds available, id like to see something along the lines of...
2mb down - 1Mb up, no cap,but stm from 10.30 pm- 7 am. This would suit people who dont use the net alot but want a fast conection during the day wud suit familys, old people, Mobile i.t tech's
10Mb & down - 0.5Mb up. no cap, stm from 3pm - 4am. this would suit people working on a night shift allowing them to have a fast conection during the day. no 20 mb option due to timings on daytime bandwidth
10MB down - 4 Mb up - No cap, usal Stm, this would be for gamers, who want to game when and if they want. @ a slight price increase
20Meg down - 4Mb up 400GB cap, usal Stm times. @ £45 Pm
50Mb down - 10Mb up, 500Gb cap, stm also @ approx £65Pm
50Mb Down - 10Mb up No cap, Stm from 9am - 4pm , @ £100pm
All uploads would be uneffected by caps and Stm.
I personally think that this way all different walks of life people get what they want, if they want a faster line then they must pay.
It will also ease the congestion of the network also imo. With the huge amount of debt and lack of network upgrades going on VM need to rethink thier price war, and grow some balls and start acting and stop going soft on customers. In the end with a fast and reliable network they will come back
probably with cheaper prices and higher bandwidth available
People want to abuse the network, download stupid amounts of data, then they need to pay, if they feel thats wrong, they need to change thier surffin habbits.
Waits for the angry but educational comments ....
