Re: Slow Browsing

I'm using mine at home at the moment and it seems absolutely fine.
Are you having problems on multiple devices?

Re: Slow Browsing

Having the slow browsing across three computers all via wired connections youtube buffers non stop on a low quality but iplayer would play 3 seconds of content and then say insufficient bandwidth speedtest shows the speed has slowed down but im not sure if this is to do with the latest IOS7 Update that many people are downloading. I did read the same thing happend a while back with a previous IOS download slowed the internet down. Bt speedtester won't allow me to complete a test just generates an error page.

Re: Slow Browsing

Can you try logging in to your router and clicking 'Disconnect' and wait 10 seconds and click 'Connect' again?
I'm wondering if a gateway hop might improve things.

Re: Slow Browsing

fwiw, I'm not seeing any issues.  720P Youtube video plays fine.  Speedtest.net results also look fine.  I am on fibre though.
PN usage graphs does just a jump in usage from 6pm to coincide with iOS 7 release in UK.

Re: Slow Browsing

Was on gateway ptn-ag01 and have now switched to pcl-ag01  speed looks worse on that and ping much higher.

We've been simultaneously using 1*Netflix(SD) + 1*Youtube(720p) + 1*online PC gaming + 1*Xbox live gaming + 2*browsing + 3*email on our 7Mbps 20CN ADSL connection and not a hint of and slowdown or buffering.  Speedtest results are also running as fast as it ever gets, and latency is normal.
