Anyone having trouble with these latley? Ive been lagged to hell and back on my online gaming, I have a 1.1mb service with them.

I thought ok enoughs enough and did an online bandwith test.

The result = 284.6 kilobits per second

I repeated this at least 10 times on my belkin router and its always 200 something. Ive only had this router 2 days so thought hmm maybe its this?

I installed my old usb speedtouch 330 modem and result was the same.

Anyone else getting such pathetic bandwidth?
 
Any reason for these crap speeds tho?

Its 5am gettin ready for work just ran it again and got

455.3 kilobits per second

Think ive had enough.

Is there a d/l limit of 1gig a week and if i go over they lower my bandwidth? This is what i just got told, it works from thursday > thursday.
 
funny i got a letter today from them saying missed payments, funny that when i have a lot in the bank.

Ordering NTL today :) Pipex can kiss my backside.

I'm having the same problems but didn't know if it was my wireless playing up...

The wireless signal strength is always excellent but my internet speeds are rubbish for the majority of the time. I'm trying to watch a 4 minute Youtube vid at the moment but I've had to pause it until it loads, which has taken about 15 minutes so far. :confused:

The random disconnections made me think it could be the wireless. It would say 'limited connectivity' but the signal strength would still be fine so I really don't know.

I sent a complaint to Pipex a few months ago but got some stupid generic reply so I think I'm going to leave too.

Your not alone, i was downloading at 8kbs/s on my laptop .

Just did a speed test on pc

356.1 kilobits per second

Its a joke mate its not your wireless its poopex.
