Re: Absolute Disgrace

Thanks.  Also, what time was it that you were trying to download iTunes?
Chris has just tried on his connection at home and was getting in the region of 100KB/s?

Re: Absolute Disgrace

I though about asking if Plusnet can provide me a NEW router top range one as I have notice you provide different routers as different friends got different routers from you.  But I am not willing to pay anymore than I am now that the trouble.  Whilst I think my router is fine

Re: Absolute Disgrace

A different router isn't going to make any difference if you are getting good speeds from speedtests and poor ones from iTunes.
If you would like me to, I would be happy to do a "dial test" from here using yourusername and password, to see what sort of speeds I get on speedtests and when downloading iTunes.

Re: Absolute Disgrace

Right now, I'm a little short on ideas as one of my colleagues has managed to get vastly better speeds than you were able to do so.
If you could possibly let me know a 30 minute period when you're able to disconnect from the internet, I'll get a test run then.

Sorry just got back from shopping.  When is the next time you can try this for me  to disconnect myself as though you be able to do this for me?

Interleaving

Hi folks,
Some of you may know that i been having bad download speed and not too good gaming as keep getting disconnected. Yesterday I requested to have Interleaving turned on as never had it from the start and I learnt this of a mate and said it helps.
Can you confirm this could help my situation and why will it take nearly 4 weeks to get turned on??? Surely I feel i should have it turned on quicker since I been putting up with slow speed for 2 weeks and paying for services I am not happy with.
Regards
Andrew

Re: Interleaving

Hi Andrew,
Placing an interleaving order normally only takes a single working day.
Ah, I see what's happened here.  It's just a typo.  The orders going to be completed tomorrow, not a month tomorrow!
It won't cost you anything and I'll reply to your ticket.

Re: Interleaving

Was it previously set to Off or Auto? I thought the default was Auto and if the line is unstable I'd have thought the BT systems would have put it one by now.

Re: Interleaving

It's actually showing as being interleaved already.
It was irignally set to auto.
TBH - I'm not entirely sure why/how this is expected to make any difference, however, the order has been placed as per the request.
