Hello Guys

I am on Max 8 meg and am getting very slow speeds. Here are my stats:

Connection Speed 8128 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 21 db 7 db
Noise Margin 10 db 22 db

I did a BT speedtest earlier as well and my iP profile was 7.1 Meg

All in all shouldnt I be getting a good speed?

I am currently getting under half a meg between 100kb-400kb

shocking.

Can anyone help?

No problem, I understand what you are saying. I will just hang on then and see how it goes.

Thanks for the prompt reply

This seems to be an issue with all connections being moved over to the IPSC (IPStream Connect), which means that some nodes (regional connection points, there are 10 of them on the network throughout the UK) are suffering from overload this weekend. Unfortunately this is necessary to ascertain the bandwidth each node will need and more bandwidth should be added soon to alleviate the problem. My connection at home is suffering also. I'm on the Kingston (London) node, which seems to be running at around 100% load all weekend, making my downloads run at 60k/s, which is pretty poor for a full 8128 sync line. It should be sorted by the wholesales shortly though. I apologise for the slow down and the technical jargon used in this post!
