We've just lit more capacity to help alleviate these issues, there will be a service status about this out shortly.
If you try powering off your modem/router what speeds do you see once you reconnect?

Re:connection gone very slow in the last week or so

Hi guys,
We definitely saw a slight improvement last night following some rebalancing work we've been doing.  However, we're fully aware that there are still a number of people experiencing difficulties and there's a number of things that we're looking to do which we'll confirm later on.
