You have a slow browser, so rather than posting the relivant information, you film your pc, transfer it onto your pc, and then upload it onto Youtube, which with your slow browser must have taken ages!

All for no reason!


Pointless.

If you want help, post the details.


-What kind of setup are you using? (Wireless/ethernet/usb)

-If a router what kind?

-Have you tested a direct cabled connection? (which means a direct cabled connection, through the modem, bypassing the router completely, and rebooting the modem while changing the cables)

-What speed results are you getting?

-What downoad speeds?

-Have you tried a different browser?


And so on.....






Sorry, but all you've done here is go to a lot of effort to take an unsubstantiated dig at UPC on youtube.:rolleyes:

I occasionally find boards slowish (about 10 seconds) but even when that's happening other sites load fine so I put it down to a boards problem when it happens.

Even if I've bittorrent running I don't notice any issues.

BTW this is in Dublin city center

I see you're in Kildare as well. Mine's been dying for 24 hours now, dropped to 1/5th normal speed. Will give them a call tomorrow.

i am using an ethernet connection tried conneted to either the netgear or the modem direct
have tried firefox, google chrome, safari and browsing is the exact same on each one

im getting less than 3Mb on speedtest with approx 0.7Mb upload speed

See, now that gives us something to work with.
None of that was in your original post or youtube clip.

Is the slow speed constant or fluctuating?

kudzRS

hard to say as i dont be home during the day but at night its always slow
with the slow speeds aside the slow browsing issue has been there a few nights now

also have done a MSCONFIG / Startup / Disable All to rule out antivirus/firewall slowing my browsing

also when doing a speedtest on speedtest.net my local server is coming up as Limerick when it should be Dublin ... maybe my connection is being routed differently??

i can nearly be certain its a upc issue

It's a UPC issue, don't waste your time troubleshooting your own system, plenty of us out this way having the same hassle.
