Internet Slow

hi was on my internet today and was fine but around 4PM it gone very slow I did a speed test on the internet and it gave me this result:
Download Speed: 232 kbps (29 KB/sec )  Upload Speed: 48 kbps (6 KB/sec )
I was wondering maybe I gone over my usage or something is wrong with my router cos all was fine before any one else getting slow speeds?

Re: Internet Slow

Have you checked your "view my usage" page to make sure you haven't reached the end of your allowance?

Re: Internet Slow

Your download speeds will be capped at 256Kbps while you're over allowance, EXCEPT between midnight and 8am, when usage doesn't count towards the allowance. So your speeds will improve again at midnight, but you'll have slow speeds again all day.

Re: Internet Slow

Hi BenG,
It is the usage limit I'm afraid, but I can see you've got a package change to Unlimited that should be going live in a couple of days - that should sort it out Smiley
