50M 50mb speed suddenly halved...

schuey100 · 08-03-2012, 17:14

Hey there

My speed has suddenly more than halved, my best speed now is 21mb, before calling Vodafone again (they said there was no problem...) I was wondering if someone could look at my power levels and see if there was anything glaring that stands out...

Any ideas? Help much appreciated!

i am assuming you are testing speeds with speedtest.net?

schuey100 · 08-03-2012, 17:32

I am yes

Just so weird because I don't see anything drastically wrong, I tried going wired, even changed ethernet cables etc but no luck.

Andrewcrawford23 · 08-03-2012, 17:34

try these two tests

http://speedtest1.virginmedia.com/speedtest

Username – trials
Password – Tr14lz57

http://mcs.lushsoft.com/myspeed/mycapacity_50mb.html

there more accurate, teh virgin one will test your connection most accurately as it in virgn interal network, the other uses udp so gives better test result of external network to virign

Do this test:

http://mcslhr.visualware.com/myspeed...city_50mb.html

If your line capacity comes back at or near 50mb, it'll be a VM congestion problem.

Well I'm on a Mac but I used network utility to get a tracer and ping, I could download all 10 files but it took ages to get them going, had to pause one or two and restart them.

Andrewcrawford23 · 08-03-2012, 18:12

it looks like congestion nothing you can do it peaks hours
