I see you are on thinkbroadband, ADSL24 rep resides on there frequently.

Yep, found an old account i forgot i had that when i was looking into getting FTTC, came in handy. :)

ADSL24 still hasn't answered my support ticket though. :|

And now FTTC, the pings are better than VM, but there is packet loss, and it looks like the speeds are fluctuating a lot.

You would think I live in the ******* country side or something but Im only about 2 miles away from the centre of Leicester City. Fed up TBH.

Lets see what Aquiss support people say...

Have you tried setting up a BQM from Think Broadband? (Need a static IP) Just sign up to the main site and sort it in your profile. Its a good way of keeping track of what your connections doing.

I'm hoping someone on here can help me with a problem I have.

Just had BT Infinity setup today and it all seems to be working fine. However, when testing speeds I'm noticing a huge difference between my laptop and my desktop PC. The laptop is reaching over 30mbps down but my desktop is barely getting half that speed at around 14 - 15mbps.

I've checked my network card which is an integrated Realtek thing, and its running all the latest drivers.

Anyone got any ideas why this is happening?
 
What specs are the computers?

From what I'v seen you need a powerfull machine to pull your full speed.

My pc in sig can hit 4.4MB/s from Nvidia website, my P4 Pc only hits around 3MB/s.

This is confirmed when I did a speed test on speedtest.net 10Mb/s difference.

We've had BT Infinity installed today and after some initial instability on the xbox the connection seems fine to all devices, getting about 35 down/9 up which is great.

However I've now noticed the insane throttling on torrents! I can't get over over 3kB/s.

Is there anyway around this? And I'm hoping there must be a time period that is considered to be 'off-peak' for faster speeds?

Thanks

After 12am
 
The laptop im testing on is an HP(work laptop) running Windows XP. My desktop is a gaming rig so it's a pretty decent spec. The desktop is running Windows 7.

Just can't figure out what the problem is. I obviously can't contact BT as there's nothing wrong with the line.
 
Sweet, not to get too off topic but would you happen to have a link or anything that I could check out (so that I can fiddle around and check out the usergroup?) Total nub with usergroups atm.
 
I wouldn't be so sure it's the PC's CPU not being powerful enough...

My MacBook Air on WiFi in the Uni library:



(For those not clued up on Macs, the MacBook Air is the really thin one - 1.3KG and 7 hour battery. Not powerful by any stretch of the imagination!)

I'm sure a video showing BT Infinity vs Be* downloading a massive file from newsgroups would soon change your mind ;)

The Adobe Flash download slow speed is a well known issue, no idea why BT haven't sorted it, but it's a very minor problem that can be sorted by using a mirror from filehippo or somewhere similar.
