My net pages seem to be taking forever to appear, so I tracked down a speed test on here and got the below, any idaes why its so slow?

Thanks

Any chance of knowing what speed your on there mate?

paulyoung666 · 09-09-2003, 20:00

i reckon 600 service but not very well

@ HornetUK can you post some pings and tracerts for us to look at

HornetUK · 09-09-2003, 21:27

600k never been this slow for the 6 months I've had it

Where can I get pings and tracerts tests?

Thanks

1st 128K took 1609 ms = 81462 Bytes/sec = approx 175 kbits/sec

4th 128K took 1859 ms = 70507 Bytes/sec = approx 587 kbits/sec

Still getting results like the above with 2 usually showing under 200, never had this before all 4 always over 500

if you go to start , all programs , command prompt and type "ping www.nthellworld.co.uk" , let it run , and then "tracert www.nthellworld.co.uk" without the speech marks what do you get ???????????????? , if you get to do this can you paste them into this thread

C:\Documents and Settings\paul>ping www.nthellworld.co.uk

Did that, but how do I paste from there? Copy Isn't an option and select all couldn't be copied?

My net is grinding to a halt this reply page took about 40 seconds to appear!

My D/S modem light is on permanent, I'm sure its usually flashing loads?

HornetUK · 09-09-2003, 21:48

Most pages aren't even appearing, I get 'The page cannot be displayed' is this a one off tonight or is something wrong with my BB?

Thanks

Graham F · 09-09-2003, 21:49

I take it you have tried rebooting your conection?

Like someone said, Have you tried rebooting the whole modem ? (And Computer)

and heres another speed test straight after above

HornetUK · 10-09-2003, 18:14

I am still suffering very slow speeds as shown above yesterday. Anyone look at the results for ping & tracert?

Thanks

Steve H · 10-09-2003, 19:04

Hey Hornet, Sorry for not replying sooner, havnt been able to get to the computer. To my knowledge, the traceroutes look fine, but the speedtests obviousley show a problem.

Are your problems just with Viewing webpages? Or have you got problems downloading as well?

Try changing your proxy, It might help, If not post back here. To Change your proxy (In IE), Goto Tools, then Internet options. Goto Connections on the TAB at the top, and goto LAN settings. And fill the following settings into the appropiate boxes.

Check here for details on using a proxy;

This may improve web page loading times. If not, post back.

HornetUK · 10-09-2003, 19:19

Thanks for that, but its a bit weird after 6 months also speed is going right down at peak times, these are from 6am today all fine

4th 128K took 1891 ms = 69314 Bytes/sec = approx 577 kbits/sec

Now its back to
Wed, 10 Sep 2003 18:17:40 UTC
1st 128K took 1907 ms = 68732 Bytes/sec = approx 572 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 4125 ms = 31775 Bytes/sec = approx 264 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 1843 ms = 71119 Bytes/sec = approx 592 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1875 ms = 69905 Bytes/sec = approx 582 kbits/sec

So its on its way down again with that 2nd one and this now gets slower upto midnight.

Could NTL have recently done something to my connection to slow me down this much?

Thanks
