For the last week my connection speed has dropped through the floor and my download speeds are a fraction of what they where. Tried to download a 700mb file last night but at only 25kb/sec it would have taken 10 hours, previously it would have taken 20 mins ha ha. I cannot even play Starcraft 2 anymore, when there is lots going on it lags up to much.
My connection has never been great, my line attenuation averages at 6-7db, which is god awful (I have been looking at rigging up a duel WAN router with my mobile phone just so I don't drop out of games at bad times), not so surprisingly it does drop the connection every now and then, but when it is connected it has always been pretty speedy. Fast enough to play games with no lag and view web pages at the same time or download files at a fair rate of about 700kb/sec.
Well anyway I have read other posts and have an idea of what you guys migh ask for. I have collected some readings over the last 3 days.

I hope you guys can shed some light on this annoying dilema. It is like being in the 90s again with the slow ass speed, oh but without that terrible band Ace of base, which is lucky, that would be the nail in the coffin =p

It looks like there might be a fault with the local loop, so the first thing you need to do is raise a fault so we can escalate this further for you. You can do this at http://faults.plus.net

Nice one, I'll keep an eye on things and see how it goes. It can be 48-72 hours for an update though.

Download rates are still very low but I guess that's becuase my IP Profile or whatever it is still thinks the line is duff.
Here are the test results for today

Notice my router has a connection speed much higher now. I shall give it a few days and hopefully the machine on your end will bump up my connection.

I've just ran a line test and the Ip profile has not lifted yet. I will check later for you though and lift it at our end if necessary. Watch this space!

I've just matched our profile to the 5500 so if you disconnect/reconnect in the router you'll see the increase.
