My internet speed

snazzy_dazzy · 22 May 2007 at 15:41

Hello all. Please can you help me.

I live in the republic of Ireland, where broadband aint great.

I have purchased the fastest avalible (3mb) but has been shockinly slow.

Here are the speedtest.net results.

(this is the best its been for days)

My router which used to be reading the downstream as 3084kbps is now reading it as 768kbps.

Any ideas.

In CSS I am getting a latency of 500+

have you rebooted the router?

TBH ive tried it all.

Here is a peculiar thing though.

I gave CSS source another go @ 2:30 in the morning and my ping was 60

Thats not bad

However it is only in the dead hours of the morning and it cant be to healthy me starting to play let alone finish at those hours.

Still summer holidays at the end of the week.

3 months holiday

If your speeds are ok at that time of the morning it sounds like it could be a contention issue or throttling during peak hours. What isp are you with?

What router are you using, and what is your attenuation, SNR margin et al.

If it said it was connected at ~3Mbps and it's now connected at a quarter that, something's broke somewhere. Tried connecting your router to the master socket with no extensions?

This was when it was "working" but very slow.

Now instead of being 3072kbps its 768kbps

any ideas?

this is so depressing.

In 24hrs time I am starting summer holidays which is 3months long.

3 months with no proper internet is not good.

3months with acceptable internet = heaven!
