I've got to know my Freeola broadband connection pretty well over the years but I can't see why I'm currently on a go slow.
I'm just about to raise a Support Ticket to see if Freeola can see a problem but thought I would post my stats here in case anyone else should be having similar problems.
I'm connected to the Faraday City of London IPSC node - currently only showing 53% usage so there shouldn't be a bottleneck there.
The VPs on my BT Exchange are green.
My error rates are low.
Here are my official speed test results which show my IP Profile is fine but my throughput isn't (tested on a wired connection):
Download speed achieved during the test was - 1.01 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :5.98 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 5 Mbps
It was like this yesterday and I was hoping things would sort themselves out for today. Perhaps my Radius Profile is slowing me down?

Hi Hmmm ... not noticed anything of significance since the Reported Attack Page incident, but here are my official speed test results taken a few minutes ago:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 17 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 17.27 Mbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 1.04Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps
Not too bad.

Hi DL,
Freeola have just replied to my ticket saying it's due to "heavy Easter network load" - doesn't seem to be affecting your part of the world! :¬(

Haha ... maybe you've still got Easter in your part of the world! At the time of my performance test, the Birmingham node was at 90%.

I've just come back from a client visit - they are also on a Freeola Faraday 20CN connection and are getting their full IP Profile when doing speed tests?! (Different Exchange)
My speeds are worse than when Wimbledon is on! :¬(

I've just done a 'node check' and found that my line has changed from Faraday to Stepneygreen! I've been on Faraday since the Centrals went and didn't expect this would ever change.
Stepneygreen is running much higher than Faraday which at least explains why my connection is running so poorly!
So it looks like I might be having problems due to Freeola/Entanet capacity issues - just like the bad old days.
So I'm on a 20CN long rural line connected to a knackered node - happy days!

That's 'shi*e' Hmmm, in this techno day and age ...
EDIT: Just checked again ... wrong node Hmmm, now on 21CN Nottingham at 37%.
By the way 21CN Faraday is at 44% and 21CNStepneyGreen at 77%
WBC Enta
Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC)
It can't be Christmas, Easter and Wimbledon all at the same time!

In case you're getting confused DL I'm on 20CN / IPSC not 21CN / WBC.
My 'new' node is now running at 87%

I'm not getting confused, just thought you might like to be aware of the 'dark side' ;¬) And your new 'node' was running at 88% ... so bonus, you should be 'slightly quicker' ;¬)

A stranger has just contacted me and believes Entanet have recently reduced capacity ready for the removal of IPSC. If that's true then I could be in trouble!
But it's not what Freeola have told me so I'll take that with a pinch of salt.
But my node seems to have changed so perhaps some rationalisation is going on?
I have nearly a dozen Freeola broadband clients mostly only with 20CN exchanges *gulp*
