Bethere net connection and youtube.com

[iv-tecman]

Anyone here got a BETHERE net connection, and getting very poor response times from www.youtube.com?

Since swapping over from Zen a few days ago youtube is very poor, thought it might be a global issue with youtube, but from work youtube is fine.

I've ran TCPoptimizer and it seems to have helped a bit, but its not quick. General web browsing seems acceptable, but some sites are really poor. www.ea.com, www.asus.com and www.youtube.com are poor.

Noticed on the bethere support forums, folks are mentioning slowness. Not the speed I was expecting from what is meant to be one of the fastest net connections you can get, OK it is down to lines etc...

Done some tests, the throughput for my reported connection speed is correct, but hit youtube and its not good.

Hi,

As promised I would update you today about our connection links with the US, some of you may have noticed that downloads from the US have slowed down or may have stopped all together.

Today I have been informed that we are in talks with one of our suppliers to add an extra GIG link to help relieve the demand, we hope to have this up by Friday this week but that is not guaranteed at this time.

We have already ordered a 10GIG link but the demand has increased more than we expected at point of ordering.

Can I please kindly ask our heavy down loaders in the mean time to download more in the day so that more members can enjoy the service in the evening. This is not the first time I have asked for your help and your support last time helped as through a tough patch. If you can all rise to this request you will be all BE star's.......as this would mean that I would not have to enforce the FUP on anyone.

I will give you all a further update on Friday,

regards,
