Turned out I am not in the cab near me and further away but the adjustment there wasnt enough so they then did some recabling outside the property, was here for about 2 and a half hours, by the time he finished it was 4.30 and normally speeds at that time are easily below 6mbit. Downloaded a test file at 950kB, have done some speed tests since then and they have all been above 800kB the last one 5 minutes ago at 970kB at 10pm amazing!!!.

All lag is gone in ssh all running smoothly, shaked his hand afterwards for a job well done. the traceroutes are still all over place but actual service is good so that is now irrelevant. New downstream powerlevel is -2. Web pages also are much more responsive and I have been using the leics proxies.
Can I have the engineer's name and number please...

Re: I dont think this will get any better
it isnt perfect have seen speeds dropping quite low tonight 2-3 meg but it is still better then before the visit, the hours of slowdown are vastly reduced I will see how it pans over the week.

I have also noticed a difference on tv sky sports previously it used to flicker a lot now that problem is gone.

Yeah that'll be the congestion sadly but if it's running better at least it's not as severe as before.

Re: I dont think this will get any better
Ok things are bad tonight.

Speed

1 101 ms 105 ms 18 ms UBR [10.8.143.254]
2 52 ms 60 ms 20 ms leic-t2cam1-b-ge914.inet.ntl.com [82.3.35.213]
3 11 ms 13 ms 36 ms leic-t2core-b-ge-210-0.inet.ntl.com [82.3.33.134]
4 35 ms 61 ms 90 ms nth-bb-b-so-230-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.188.114]
5 96 ms 35 ms 21 ms nth-bb-a-ae0-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.185.117]
6 17 ms 75 ms 30 ms gfd-bb-b-so-400-0.inet.ntl.com [62.253.185.98]
7 20 ms 41 ms 36 ms redb-ic-1-as0-0.inet.ntl.com [213.105.174.138]
8 14 ms 15 ms 37 ms 212.58.238.189
9 181 ms 217 ms 70 ms 212.58.238.149
10 40 ms 41 ms 13 ms rdirwww-vip.thdo.bbc.co.uk [212.58.224.131]

main problem speeds way down again and below 2 meg levels, some lag in ssh. Friday may have been lighter because people were out but I hope it wasnt for that reason and will see if mon-thurs is better then usual. I wont be ringing up regarding this yet until then.

Re: I dont think this will get any better
Gah I was afraid of that, hopefully this is just a one off. Your speeds are low even for a congested downstream. The pings, sadly, fit it nicely though

Re: I dont think this will get any better
I am sorry to report this but on net tests (ntl) I am getting about 1.5mbit, any kind of external traffic is around 0.5-1meg.
