[Merged] Slow Speeds...

[wills]

Hiya everyone,
Is anyone else experienceing a real slowdown in the NN3 area of Northampton this evening?? Websites are taking forever to load and trying to use AIM/ICQ/MSN etc is also super slow and they are not signing in.

Rebooted the CM (Terayon TeraJet) but still the same

So, anyone else experienceing the same??

Thanks

Welcome to the site

Yep, as already said, post some statistics .

Just spoken to Cambridge CS.Having received the upgrade to 3mb line yesterday my net has been appaling.

" The cable modem software hasnt been configured to run 3mb speeds"

Unfortunatly from what i was told the upgrade to 3mb has caused issues with SACM and they will send a new cfg file to the modem when its available!

that ties in with the information,from Daniel in CS Manchester about configs.
I have a theoy that when i am not being told i am wrrong by NTL associates. No comment usually means there is some truth in it

as requested, speedtests and pings it all seems pretty much normal again now though. however some sites are just not feeling as snappy as usual (same with all the computers on the LAN).

Hi.

I have notices slow speeds from this area but thought it was my router (which needs a power cycle every now and then)

Whereabouts in Northampton are you out of curiosity.

I am in Great Billing.

Yeah I think that is right. when I reboot my Surfboard CM and then check the CM log I get:

TimePriorityCodeMessage0503231552214-ErrorX501.35Unit Update Failed. 0503231552217-InformationF502.1Bridge Forwarding Enabled. 0503231552204-ErrorX501.28Unit Update - Not updating.

So it seems that they need a new 'update image' (config file?) before we get up to 3Megs. I am curently working consistently at about 2.2 Megs.

I can hit 2.8mb but it is intermittent,same reliabilty issues as thread starter.

No, that's a normal message, I'm on the 3Mb service and my log is the same, always has been.

AFAIK that message means that there's no firmware upgrade for that modem type. Nothing to do with 3Mb.

Well I've been close to 2 Mb/s since I upgraded a couple of weeks ago but for the past couple of days I'm down to 111 Kb/s so somethings up!!! I'm in Swansea and getting the figures via Dan Elwells' broadband speedtest. I'd be interested to know if anyone else in my area has experienced the same deteriation in service.

[Horace]

I had been getting speeds around 60-120k/s from US sites till I ran tcpoptimizer. Getting full 3mb speeds from there now. Not sure if it would help here, thought I'd mention it anyway .

Thanks for the info Horace. As it happens rebooting the modem seems to have resolved the problem - for now
