today its reverted.
namesco at approx 23mbit/sec steady during test
maidenhead started very slow for about 5 seconds at about 4mbit/sec then sped up to about 22mbit/sec, so was all over the place severe congestion.
aberdeen 21mbit/sec
I seem to be suffering from a mixture of local congestion and transit congestion/fault, regardless of the cause the service has degraded significantly during the past month.
On traceroutes I cannot repeat the traceroute I posted, but my routing has now changed to namesco as well.
Iplayer has to rebuffer and my football radio stream which only requires tiny bandwidth also cont keep going without rebuffering as well.
I keep waiting and since I have an outage almost every week I always check if one of these extra downstream channels appears, never the case
--edit--
doing a 2nd test on namesco gave 14meg/sec so its all over the place, and also upload is showing signs of congestion now as well as I am getting sub 3meg/sec again.
