O2 gone painfully slow?



Things seem to be looking up! The latency is still poor, not as bad as it usually is but the download speed is back! :)
 
Its got better for me too tonight matey

no issues here, although mine has been great all month :D
my line has even managed to stay synced at 12Mb for a full week which is a first :p
 
I'm on O2 access and I sync at 7.6 which is great. I can only get my full speed at off peak times and from 4pm until 1 am I am lucky to get 1/2 meg download and terrible pings which are enough for me to get kicked or dropped from most games.

I am on the Singleton exchange so no chance ever of getting a LLU.

I would like to cancel as O2 say there is no problem, I am outside my cancellation period, anybody know of my legal rights here? My next door neighbour is on AOL and gets a constant 2 meg with no drop offs at all.



Edit: Looks like they fixed it :-)



2nd Edit: Maybe not :-(

Tis mint.

£40 for 8mb and a download limit?! Yikes.

Not really yikes considering its a non LLU, business package hence the extra upload and better Openreach fault SLA.

You get what you pay for.

Dont really think "you get what you pay for" applies though. I pay £7.50 a month for O2 broadband that is constantly 5mb (max i can get) and unlimited downloads. Never been hit with throttling or anything.

O2 Access, whilst no where near as good as LLU, is about £17 odd for 8mb, unlimited downloads, but slower upload. Fair enough if you want faster upload then yea pay more, but i think £40 is way way too much for a non-llu, download limited connection. Just imo.
 
Past few nights I have actually had decent speed for once, don't know if anyone else has noticed a difference. I am getting about 7Mb down and 0.4Mb up which is near my peak speed for the line. Pings are also a fairly normal rate at about 70ms and I can stream video in the evening for the first time in ages. We'll see how long it lasts.

I pay only £12.50 a month for my Access package thanks to Paul from O2 on these forums who was kind enough to get me a discount.
 
Same again tonight, working a lot faster than normal, nearly identical to the speed I get about 10am.
