Re: Oh no not again

Hi dennisb66, I've just checked the BT systems and sure enough your ip profile is 135k at the moment.
I would visit  http://community.plus.net/blog/2008/02/19/my-broadband-doesnt-work/ ; for connection checks.
And a soon as you sync at a higher rate for 72 hours consistently it will automatically raise. The profile will have lowered due to dropped connections.

Re: Oh no not again

Thanks Jojo,  I have checked through your link and see no problem that has arisen at my end,I am also connected to the master socket.  Had the same problem earlier this month which was resolved at your end,  Question is Jojo what would cause the drop in connections and how do we stop it happening again  .I think my previous ticket number was 33628999 it might highlight the problem .

Re: Oh no not again

If my speed isn't back to normal tomorrow I shall be raising a ticket (again),however I am beginning to think it's probably time to move on. Cry
There appears to be far too many speed issues lately.

Re: Oh no not again

Just tried to watch last nights Dr Who on iPlayer and I can't as it just keeps buffering.  Did a test and it seems that my normal speed of 6000kbps has dropped to just over 1500kbps tonight for some reason.

Re: Oh no not again

Hi Guys,
@denissb66,
Just checked your connection logs and I don't see a 72 hour connection, the best connection you had was:
08:53 18/Jun/2010 14:39 20/Jun/2010 2 Days, 5:46:8
I was wondering if you had noticed your dropped connections since then or had been rebooting your router? If not then I think if you raise a ticket it should be about intermittent connection rather than speed, as that would most likely be the root cause.
@Azagoth,
I've just checked your line @ 9.00 and either you have no sync or your router was off. If you can confirm that your router is on and in sync I can do another line check for you. Otherwise, it may be useful to visit  http://community.plus.net/blog/2008/02/19/my-broadband-doesnt-work/ for connection checks.
@ovale,
There are a number of dropped connections on your line, so I have forwarded your ticket to the intermittent faults dept. If there was an interruption on your line during a speed test this would severely affect your results.

Re: Oh no not again

I wonder if this known issue last week has been responsible for the dropped connections, leading to lower line profile as a result?

Re: Oh no not again

Hi MacOS10,
the issue would have only caused one dropped connection, which is not enough to lower a profile. There's no definitive amount but rule of thumb would probably say that dropping connection over 3 times in one hour could affect your profile.

Re: Oh no not again

HI deniss66,
I've just had another look at things, and the best I can recommend is to leave it with the faults guys, I'm scratching my head on this one too!

120Kbps talk about the dark ages,speeds were faster than this back in 1975 when the ISL4/72 was operational.It took over 2hours just to do an update this afternoon. Angry
