Very slow speeds NG18

Extremely slow in NG18 today which is highly unusual. I'm on 10mb & getting 400kbps dl but normal upload speeds of 480kbps, anyone else suffering in the Mansfield\Sutton area?

Rubbish speed in Lincoln currently.
Barely useable at times. It was generally OK this afternoon, but this evening is crap.

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Seems I'm getting a very flaky <6Mbps from the Newsgroups, up and down like a whores drawers :/ So nntp traffic is not as bad, but far from stable seeing how it's bouncing about!

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Re: Very slow speeds NG18

Bodes well for the 100Mbps service then

Nothing on VM's service status page about this!

*Update* Newsgroups shot up to 10Mbps suddenly but http still slow:

Code:
Sun, 28 Feb 2010 23:16:13 UTC
 
Test 1: 1024K took 4711 ms = 217.4 KB/sec, approx 1791 Kbps, 1.75 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 5210 ms = 196.5 KB/sec, approx 1619 Kbps, 1.58 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 4926 ms = 207.9 KB/sec, approx 1713 Kbps, 1.67 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 8361 ms = 244.9 KB/sec, approx 2018 Kbps, 1.97 Mbps
 
Overall Average Speed = approx 1785 Kbps, 1.74 Mbps
