Re: Slow In Watford Area
All the way through this 'slowdown' I've had approx. 12% packet loss.
It's been stable since the speed came back.

Re: Slow In Watford Area
It's a self-regulating system. When there are too many subscribers and the network slows down, some proportion of customers get hacked off and quit, reducing the load on the network to the point where it starts functioning properly again. 
If you're lucky they increase the capacity of the network so it can cope with all the extra people who wish to contribute to their salaries and profit shares.

Re: Slow In Watford Area
[QUOTE=awharton;34164033] Getting extremely slow speeds in the Watford area (Chorleywood). On a 10MB connection which normally gets about 1.20MB/s and am now getting 10k/s if I'm lucky!
Called CS and as usual there is of course nothing wrong with their network, so they have booked an engineer to come and have a look.
Anyone else going slow at the moment?[/QUOTE]
Hi
I live out towards Hemel and I get a miserable 1 - 3 Mb on my so called 10Mb service.
What a con

Re: Slow In Watford Area
This has been going on for over a month now. How this can be anything like acceptible service is anyones guess.
I've been running my new BT Business Broadband (8Mb) on a different machine, alongside my NTL 10Mb service for just a couple of days. I still get poor performance and spurious VPN disconnects, etc on my NTL connection. BT is absolutely fine.
I had some issues getting my new BT kit running initially, but the support number I called was manned by a very friendly and knowledgable individual who knew where the problem was and put it right straight away. No long waits in a silly queueing system to speak to someone in Bangalore with nothing more than a scripted response. I was suitably impressed and I am now going to give NTL the elbow .... If I can get through !
Good ridance !
Phil
