Gateway madness!
Hi everyone,
I am often switched gateway between London and an area between Yorkshire and midlands (Nottingham area) It is driving me crazy!!! Even worse my neighbour (BT Infinity) has her gateway up here in the north east! why is it in different locations? When I was with sky ADSL+2 my location was up in north east as well. So why is my location LONDON when i clearly live in Newcastle upon Tyne! The gateway i am now is pcl-ag03 I check this at http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/

Cheers guys. It looks like other ISPs have more locations and locate you to the nearest one.

Does look like you're dropping connection a fair bit, unless these are manual reboots?

If they're not then I'd recommend raising a fault at http://faults.plus.net to get that looked into

Yes these are manual reboots.

I am using www.speedtest.net and this locates me i'm in London where i'm actually in Newcastle Tyne. When I type telehouse north it locates for London.

On Speedtest.net that runs a quick test to find the server with the lowest ping to try and give you the best results possible. It doesn't have a bearing on where you actually are
So it will run tests to the server located in Newcastle in this instance.

There is no server up in north east, at my other house (virgin media ADSL) it goes for swindon, which is south. I wonder if there is any server up north?
Just to clarify how does my internet come all the way from London? perhaps via satellite or Fibre optic cables? I thought my connection came from the GOSFORTH exchange?
Your ADSL connection goes into the exchange and then is tunnelled through the BT 21CN network. It appears in London at one of our datacentres in Telehouse or Citylifeline. To the rest of the internet, it appears that your IP address is from London
Does this matter if i have fibre?? Its because I have fibre not ADSL
