Entanet have a fourth BT Central Pipe on order which is due to come into service in 3-4 months with the next segment of an existing 622 Mbps pipe scheduled to go live in two weeks' time.

Will this stop my Broadband speed fluctauting? its so up and down at the moment. Sunday afternoon we were at an all time low of 1.5MB usually we can get 7.5MB or more as we are next door almost to our exchange. Can Freeola shed any light on this please.

Ok a shut down my router this morning and ran the tool and ended up bak on the same pipe (just my luck) that said its running OK at the mo speeds still not what it could be but I will see how it goes and if the same thing happens I will try shutting down again.

Does the 7.2 part mean thats as fast as I will ever get? or is that just muddying the waters?

The most useful info for you is that you are connected on Telehouse 2 and that this central pipe status is green (meaning OK) and is running at its normal full speed.

If you believe your ADSL is running poorly, check again to see if the status has changed. Follow the link to see the status of all the centrals and if required, try disconnecting and re-connecting to use an alternate pipe.

Yes, I can't see that we'd have any objection to you posting this tool.

My broadband is now consistently fast, even at peak times. I do tend to switch-off my router when the PC is not in use, so this may help as I'm frequently switching centrals.

And we do expect to see further improvements to capacity over the coming months, so peak performance should be further improved.

I think the new segment went live on the 19th!

Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting your router to pick an alternate central?
There is a user written tool that shows you your current central - Freeola, are you happy for me to post the link to this? (I don't see why they wouldn't be, but thought it would be polite to ask first)

It it helps my Freeola ADSL is going great! :)

Yes, we are expecting a significant improvement at peak times with the extra capacity coming availible in February. Furthermore, we are hoping to see still further regular improvement in the coming months.
