Staggeringly poor speeds tonight 17/04/08

Terrible speeds tonight -- both BBMAX and MyBroadBandSpeed are showing 300-350kbps instead of my usual 3000-5000.
i'm on thn-ag3 and synced as normal at 761600, stable rate  6500.
can't get on the BT speedtester at the  moment -- will report back -- but is there a problem tonight for others?

That service status was announcing additional capacity, so very  unlikely to cause slow speeds.

I am experiencing similar drasticaly slow speeds tonight. One speed test showed download speed slower than upload!!! I too am connected to THN ag3
Looks like the additional pipe capacity  has had the opposite to desired effect.

I think when a new segment is activated they change the priorities to try and populate it quicker. Looks like they may have over-cooked it!

I suggest trying another gateway - compare the current state of the gateways here

I have similar results and am on the same gateway.  I've noticed PN speed has been progressively slower for a while.  Tonight is diabolical.

The other gateways are all looking good - trying disconnect/reconnect until you get a different one.

Guys, something is definitely wrong.  I'm talking to James and the CSC staff right now.
