Peak time slow down

[#1]

BT speedtest from this evening peak time speeds are still bad for me also noted in ticket #66218711

[#2]

Which exchange are you connected to?

[#3]

I'm on the worle exchange (SSWOR) though have been told by openreach that there is no issues with the line or REIN issues but something to do with a virtual path (VP)

[#4]

Yeah that's congestion.
We've got the same thing here on the Scarborough exchange. Just a case of waiting until BTW/OR decide to fix it ( add/enable more capacity ) I'm afraid  

[#5]

@jamesanstee
Thanks for doing the speed test. Please don't do any more tonight though I'm going to use that result tomorrow when I speak to the escalation owner.
I will be in touch tomorrow to let you know what action I am looking to take.

[#6]

What actually is a virtual path?

[#7]

Virtual Paths (or Pipes) are the multi-user routes from the DSLAM/MSAN at the exchange into BTs network. A bit like slip roads onto a motorway. Being multi-user they are a potential source of congestion.

Speed slow down still happening but i'm now starting to see the speed slow down during the day and not just at peak times still awaiting an update from plusnet .

Just working on this as we speak.

[#11]

Just to update on my peak time slowdown BT Openreach (Number 3) has been to check line and is now in the process of doing a lift and shift fingers crossed this will solve the issue but will need to allow a few days for it to settle back in .

[#12]

Keep us posted.

[#13]

Update Openreach engineer returned at 9am to complete the lift and shift now hitting peak time and speed is looking good so far pings are nice and low i think the end is in sight for my recent speed issues .
Big thank to chris for staying with this since 22nd feb .


Updated speedtest at 17-52

Certainly a lot better now HD streaming is much smoother no buffering will monitor over the next 10 days.
