Adsl24 used to be great

And I mean that, i am only 300 metres form the exchange and used to get 500-725k.
But i have noticed how slow it has been getting, a speed check told me lastnight I was warping along at 85 k!!!.
And that is around midnight.
Bye adsl24.
 
I found this over at thinkbroadband posted byADSL24.

"As users do so over the coming days, we expect user volumes and bandwidth demand to vary among the interconnects and to be unrepresentative of performance expected when all moved users are connected to IPSC. It is therefore possible that variable availability may be experienced, especially during off-peak hours, until such time that normal volumes are established"

Regardless of what the percentages are showing I imagine there is going to be unpredictable results until it's settled and Enta have gotten everything as best they can - and you should see the benefit long term.

also this

To everyone running loads of speed tests, please pause for a while, so Enta can establish what true capacity is required on each node, and so that everyone at present can see better speeds - as each speed test is just causing further unnecessary load - resulting in a big loop.

Running a few speed tests over a 24hr period is no problem but keep running them every 20 minutes will hamper it for everyone. Yes, we all know the speeds will vary at the moment, but if you take for example if a node was lit at 250Mb, that would only take 40 people on a 6Mb profile running a speed test on your node to cause it to flat line for a short period, and that is separate to all the normal downloading and browsing that is probably happening. Running more tests just makes it worse for everyone including yourself.

This is of course only for now, until it all settles down, don't take it the wrong way - but don't we all want to see increased speeds? If the answer is yes, then let's see if it helps by not running tests all day...

Well I got home from shopping and guess what my net was down again 3 times in less that 24 hours. This time a modem reboot did not work. So 30 odd mins on the phone to tech support (thier server had wipped my log in details) and after he added them back stil nothing.

Then changed the login and it now works.


I cant wait till the 21st and welcome o2.
 
I hope this crap improves...I hate constipation

From 800+KB/s to sub 100KB/s :( I'm sad. Haven't tried reconnecting will try at 10. Northern Ireland and practically the whole of Scotland appear to be on one connection that has to be dumb!

I've disconnected for 5 mins and reconnected and got improved speed for a few minutes the speed then dropped away to zilch!

Got this report on Adsl24 user Forum (Entanet reseller)

DSL transfer to IPStream Connect update
Posted: Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 18:00 by Steve Lalonde

Further to the previous post, we have now moved the bulk of the remaining realms to IPStream Connect. Please be aware that end users need to re-authenticate in order to connect to the IPSC interconnect serving them (note that dropping the session for more than 30 seconds will be required to ensure the session is re-established on the new interconnects). As users do so over the coming days, we expect user volumes and bandwidth demand to vary among the interconnects and to be unrepresentative of performance expected when all moved users are connected to IPSC. It is therefore possible that variable availability may be experienced, especially during off-peak hours, until such time that normal volumes are established. The ALT is operational on IPSC and will take effect whenever necessary as normal.

The interconnect graph will be adjusted to reflect the available bandwidth at each handoff (instead of a percentage of the maximum capable on the interconnect). Please note that, in the short term, the illustrated results are unlikely to be indicative of available capacity.

At 10pm loads on the old server system would go ape as all know to well, so this is going to be the picture to the dust settles...at the moment 20 - 30 KB/s between 3 stations isn't very useable.

Been better today, got full speeds till around 10pm, but now that off-peaks started, im down to about 320k download speed, which i guess i cant complain about, as it does drop when the off-peak starts. :)

Still got my MAC request in though, won't hurt to have it. :p

EDIT: Im back up to full speed again, my downloads gone back up to 560k.

I'll hold of for a week or so and see how it goes, if download speeds don't get back to normal sadly I'll be makin' a request also.

Im crippled, i only really noticed it today, although i had thought things were a little slow yesterday.

Im in Glasgow, im downloading at 79kb. I dont download much, entanet was great for me, i paid the price for a decent connection without a lot of downloads.

Could someone explain whats happened, as I hadnt realised there was changes being made until I searched to find out why my internets were slow.
 
Crippled at the min also, worst speeds i have ever seen on enta
Download Speed: 705 kbps (88.1 KB/sec ) Upload Speed: 378 kbps (47.3 KB/sec )
On sheffield node currently <99.66%
Iplayer just not watchable.
Will keep a eye out over next few weeks but if this continues its going to be bye bye, an email from enta advisting me on the change would have been appreciated.
 
Im still flying along today, downloading at 530k, bit shocked as i though seen as its off-peak, it would be crippled, and id be down to about 20k for the weekend. :p

The node im on Edinburgh, is Orange, and just over 97%, theres only 4 still in the 80's, the rest of em are all between 96-100.

Mines (Edinburgh) over the 100 now, but im still fine.

Its strange, as the other night it was only just over 57%, and i was getting about 85k.
