DSL Really slow since upgrade

jimmeh

i was getting dirt slow speeds until i rebooted my router, BAM 220Kbytes a second.

Here's a file off heanet, should be big enough....

Did have 1312 downstream with about 56KB/sec downloading

Restarted the router there and now getting 1504 downstream and getting 150K a second now.

Still not 2MB but an improvement.

Everyone's who's having problems.. restart their router / modem, and post back!

EDIT: It actually levelled out at about 100KB/sec on that ISO file. Still far from the 2MB i want... but like i said, definantly an improvement!

Holy sh1t. I tried that iso file and yep 210 Kb/s constant. Hello 2048/128 broadband

OK lads sorry for being a retard but im getting 107KB download speed from the above download so is that a 1m connection speed? I should be 2m.

I am MAN

Yes that is 1mb speed but if you read the post titled "Broadband upgrade" that will tell you about rate adaptive dsl.

im in Ballyowen Lane,

mang87

Jesus christ, did I speak too soon? I'm getting 17.00kbps atm!
well they're probably slowing me down atm to fix yours

From Eircom : a server has died in west Dublin and seems to have fcked up the whole area.

halenger

The whole area being the whole of Dublin?

I'm on the Northside on the Belcamp exchange and it's pretty bad. I rebooted the router and it gave me proper speeds on the speed test but it's just not stable. Messy messy. I'll take my 512 back in the meantime, thanks.

Woden

haven't touched my router in a while but getting 220 kb down atm on the cabra exchange

perhaps more importantly my ping to our gaming server is the same

woot

Asok

Getting sub 10k download speeds off heanet which is piss poor, was getting the proper speeds early this morning ~5-8am but now its worse than dialup

In galway on the shantalla exchange.

Same here.
No point in bitching about it any longer, will just have to wait until they fix it.

I'm on the Tycor Exchange Waterford and was getting 2meg speeds up to this afternoon but it has gone to pot this even barely getting 512k speeds. Im with UTV by the way.Is this all related to the problem with the exchange in Dublin???

cregser

Also getting cack speeds. Web browsing isn't really affected but d/l's settle at about 10KB/s. Disgraceful!

lol.

Switched my modem settings, just for the laugh, and changed to PPPoA with LLC encapsulation and my speeds have immediately improved from 1.72Mbps to 1.77Mbps

Try it :-)

Also, my jolt.co.uk ping took a reduction of 5ms to average 28ms :-)

My pings are still in the hole though :mad:
