BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

They seem to be blaming Openreach now saying they did an update on Saturday that is effecting all ISPs with connections above 1Gbps though struggling to find anyone apart from EE customers complaining.

Find it bad enough that they don't tell customers anything about the issue but would help to at least give their own support a heads up, seems you get a different story every time you ring up! People seem to be reporting its starting to get back to normal now so hopefully not long now.

To be fair though not really noticed much difference, my other half is in the bedroom streaming TV, I am streaming music in lounge while online gaming and all ring cameras are working fine. Only time notice there is an issue is when I try and download something and everything dies while my PC hogs the bandwidth

Isn't that because EE are the only ISP on OpenReach that do over 1Gbps?

So technically they are correct then! I thought there was more but checked other ISPs and City Fibre are now available to me and looks like I can get a much cheaper deal and better speeds by going elsewhere. Contract is up in September and I dread to think what the early termination cost will be if I jump now
 
Has anyone ran buffer bloat tests through Waveform before? Looking at my Ookla speedtests a few pages back, My download latency is kicking up to 300-400ms
The Waveform bufferbloat test is showing a Grade C for bufferbloat.

I've got A on EE, but if you're not noticing any issues I wouldn't worry about it.

Ok thanks, I've actually been reading about people with issues on Zen and bugger bloat. I'll give it a good test on gaming etc over the next few days.

Edit: Buffer bloat, Leaving it there though.

A number of sites can be slow to load such as Youtube, twitch on Fibre 500 also had the email today that the price is going up to £30 a month, So I can cancel without penalty even though I am still in contract.
