    Hi,

    So on my laptop I can't download anything from certain websites. Rapidshare and nvidia drivers are 2 that I can think of. If i try downloading anything from those websites, it will download at 10 kbp/s and fail after a few minutes. Any other website and Steam I can download files from at around 700 kbp/s.

    I would appreciate it if you could look into this for me please.

    Thanks,

    Cian.

    Hi Cian

    I think the following announcement will be of interest to you : http://bit.ly/1xBWACW - from my experience the issues discussed there are centre to the issues you would be experiencing.

    I'm hoping to have more information on this soon although I do still recommend contacting technical support (1890260260) to investigate and resolve any other attributing possible factors

    Thanks
    Al

    Hi Alan,

    Any more news on that posting? The notification is two weeks old and in those two weeks the service appears to be getting worse?

    Ciano35, at this time get yourself a decent VPN. When I've experienced issues over the past few months, simply connecting to the VPN has resolved this.

    Cheers,

    Mor...

    My internet is fine at the moment, but will keep this in mind. Have you any recommendations for a VPN?

    Hi Ciano35

    Over the past two weeks, we have added additional network capacity to support our broadband services. Customers should now be experiencing improved performance to many sites, including YouTube.
     
    Further capacity to other networks will be added next week, and we will update you once this is in place.
     
    We do appreciate your patience in this and will post here as soon as we have more information.


    We do post further updates here 


    Hope this helps


    Tony
