Has this website slowed down?

It seems to be just this website & I'm on sky's isp too. Odd.

You know if this forum was run by Nikon it'd lock on much quicker
I'll get my coat !

Good link John,
Here is my result.

Yes, it struck me that it was a handshake/protocal bottleneck thingy somewhere on my route round the net to your server.
John you connection is considerably faster then mine (say in Brummie accent).
But I have always known my Sky connection was rubbish (used to be on Virgin till some cost saving were made in the household )
but that isn't the problem here.
I'll reset my router and and get back to you.
I'd be faster with my answers but well... you know.

Just phoned and complained to BT they have reduced our exchange power down, installing new stuff for ADSL+2 then my speed should be 15 to 20MB then so they said, we will see

EDIT: Added words.

I have had no problems with the forum.

Here's my internet speed.

It's definately a routing issue. I just switched to using my mobile phone as a modem with my laptop & the site was back to normal.

They arent very reliable as you can see from these :










Mine synchs at 19.5 down and 2.3 upload. So with transmission loss the down i get is about right , but the upload is way off (hardly any speedtest are accurate for adsl2 for upload)

The speed varies depending on the demand and other factors, so it won't be a fixed figure every time.

reset my router, no difference.
Gwyn, your just bragging

I was on Sky before i switched to O2. The reason i switched was due to speed issues. Especially busy times. I was paying for the top one (about £10 per month extra if i remember right) which was supposed to be 16mb. I used to get about 3mb/s. They said "your line wont support adsl2 its not our fault. I switched to O2 , which is adsl2 and i get the above. My line wont support adsl2, YEAH RIGHT!

Think mines dying

Do you normally get that speed Cliff or has it dropped recently?

Do you have lots of extensions in the house? If so go to the master socket and undo the front faceplate. There will be a test socket. Plug the router into there and redo the test. If its significantly better its your wiring.
