Terrible speeds on Entanet

ruffneck · 7 Oct 2009 at 16:48

Hi, anyone else using Entanet and finding that after say 2pm the speeds drop considerably.

I'm sync'd at 8128kbps and have a line profile of 7000kbps and up to mid afternoon I am seeing perfectly acceptable results, however through the evening and night I can't get anything above 2mb!!

Now I know Internet traffic at these times increase 10 fold but Its only recently started happening.

Entanet traffic shaping now?

my speeds seem to be getting better

I don't think it helps that my exchange is currently congested

I just signed up for a new account at ADSL24 and activated today. My connection speed is terrible.

Does anyone know what is going on? I have sent a ticket but no reply yet.

what are you sync speeds/connections stats? Also use this speedtester instead.

take the front faceplate off the master socket, plug your filter/router into the socket behind that and show us the line stats.

I would expect between 2 and 4mbit at that distance, go find your main socket, take the 2 small screws out the front and plug the router into the test socket behind.

ahh snap!

I think 99% of my problem is exchange congestion. My node rarely goes over 95%
