I note that Columbo is at 92%.

Is there any other issue right now, as I'm downloading and my throughput is not even hitting 2Mbps (for a line less that 500 metres *cable* - not straight line - length from the exchange).

I have just reset the router to see if that was causing the problem, but I'm still running at 1.9Mbps.

This also happened yesterday. I'm currently highly unimpressed with having to pay full whack for this speed.

The ALT seems to start reducing my speeds around 11am during the week :¬(


Hopefully Warhunt/ncrs will have an update on what appears (to me) to be capacity problems soon.

Updated my support ticket today.

For general interest, I had no issues at all over the weekend, and this morning my download throughput was back to 1Mbps.

Love the smilee there lol. Maybe you misunderstood my post or something because I was trying to be helpful? :S

The post was made in a hurry as the office was quite busy at that point. And Neil seemed like he was getting frustrated over receiving no official response on the forums.

As I always do, (check any other issue on here) I would have checked his account and got back to him. However I had a large job to finish before I went home. Knowing that there was an increased chance of him not receiving an answer based on my departure for the day using the forums, I wanted to point out that he would need to follow the official method. That way his query would be answered as soon as possible by any of my colleagues rather than those just happening to be on the forums.

To get back on the topic, I believe the N may have looked into this already. I'll post back after having a chat with him tomorrow for you Neil.

This is true...

However, I'm now getting throughput of less than 1Mbps on occasion. This is far from acceptable.

As we speak my speedtest.net test has reported a download t/p of 0.50. Upload speeds seem unaffected.

My uploads are currently faster than my downloads.

To answer your question above:
I've just realised that both Golf and Cricket are going on this week - that won't be helping...

Hi Dragonlance,
I can't say I'm afraid as they are competitors... :¬P


I see your node is on 95% at the moment :¬(
My speed is currently reduced to half it's normal throughput.
