Test to see if you get similar results.

And lets give BT and Digiweb Hell!

I'm not at home atm but definately my BT connection was acting up over the weekend.

Speedtests were showing connection speeds representative of 56k at times. Very annoying

Or you could just try calling them and being reasonable first?

Aye. I have noticed my pings are all over the shop recently.

My connection has been pretty **** all over the weekend and up to now too. The connection keeps dropping too, I get the limited or no connectivity message and clicking repair corrects it each time until next time it happens. I've been with BT a few years and never had this issue before.

Not 100% sure on this without knowing your fiull setup - but if you're getting limited or no connectivity popup warning within XP - this more points to a LAN issue between the router and your PC

Hank Scorpio · 22-12-2008 3:35pm

not a lan issue, its routing and congestion problems

ondafly · 22-12-2008 5:28pm

quick update - I've run a number of speedtests, and I'm getting strange results. Higher upload etc, which I've never had on the 3meg line

I'm in the Swords area on the 24mb so they say.

Had no connection at all from Friday through to Sunday afternoon. Might have to look elsewhere for BB in the new year.

My pings are all over the place too.

im...LOST · 23-12-2008 12:30am

I've been getting normal enough speed tests and browsing seems fine but downloading files is terribly slow. 25kbs is one case here.

ondafly · 23-12-2008 10:40am

well I'm throttled apparently ! so thats why I'm not getting the correct speeds. So much for my unlimited downloads ! I wouldn't mind, but the calculator is way off what I've actually downloaded this month.

I was on to them yesterday...got the standard whats your dl rate / noise & attenuation but nothing really to indicate that its a widespread problem. Awaiting the follow up

Sierra Oscar · 23-12-2008 12:14pm

It seems faster today, Im going to monitor for a bit and if it gets worse again I will give them a ring.

DroghedaGraham1 · 23-12-2008 1:02pm

Im new to here and am not all up with the pings and all that stuff but I moved from Eircom the middle of last month to BT and kept my Netopia box. I took their option 3 for the 24mg for the unlimited downloads.

All worked find for forst 10 days and since then the download speeds that were never less than 100-125kbp/s regardless of time of day or year has slowly reduced to 6-12kbp/s for the last 4/5 days and over the last week its killed the internet too with pages hanging or talking over 20 mins to open.

Any ideas why this is happening before I ring them, that its perfect for 2 weeks and then just slowly died when there was never a problem with Eircom.:(

Sierra Oscar · 23-12-2008 3:55pm

Just started getting horrible DL speeds again now, so ringing BT support now . .

this is odd ! this morning I checked the usage calculator and it said I was being throttled ! in nice bold writing. I've come home now, powered on the PC, and did a speed test, and my connection is back to normal. I checked my usage calculator and it no longer says im throttled !

You are throttled if your up+down in the last 30days exceeds 100GB.

swingking · 23-12-2008 6:34pm

what's the url to find out if you are throttled or is there a special software that let's you know?

Looks like everything is back to normal now

My own BB from Eircom is coming on the 13th of Jan 2009.
I hope i have little problems.

CptSternn · 27-12-2008 9:23am

Anyone still having issues? I started noticing speed issues a couple days ago and now its at the point I can't connect to any sites because they time out. It takes 5 minutes for boards.ie to even open one page.

I am supposed to have an 8 meg connection - speed tests puts it at less than 1/4 of a single meg.
