2MB IOL Broadband Download Speeds?

innocent_crew

I'm on a 2MB IOL Broadband and for the past few days my download speeds have been dropped to 75Kbps. I used to get around 200+Kbps on my 2MB line.

Anyone has similar problem?

Those are terrible speeds indeed.
I presume you have the dreaded P623.

You can try Reseting the ADSL Line from inside the Web Configurator.
Access "192.168.1.1"
User admin
Pass 1234 (Unless you changed it)

Go to Diagnostics and then to ADSL Line.
In There click Reset ADSL Line.
When complete wait for the DSL Light to come on Solid.
Again repeat what u did above for speed tests.

Also try connecting to the Main Phone Point to rule out Internal Wiring.
It may also be a noise issue so check the Noise Margins in the ADSL Line Diagnostics.

WOW Diabolus. Thank you very much. I've just reset the adsl line and everything is back to normal. Now I can download the above file at constant 213kbps speed. My download speed is 1.72Mbps and upload speed is 105kbps.
Thanks once again.
