Re: Connection so slow I can't even run a speed test!

Hi there,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems with your speeds.  I've run some checks on this and the profiling is okay at our and BTs end.  However you appear to be on an Ellacoya profile that is restricting your speed.
I can see that whilst you have passed the default level of 10GB peak usage for Pro, you haven't passed the 14GB that you are paying for.  Did you only recently increase this?  I'll get a problem raised so that the Ellacoya profile is changed and you should see an improvement in speed once this has happened.
Please accept my apologies for the inconveniences experienced.

Hi there
Could you possibly reboot and then retry for me please?
I've made some changes to your account, which if I'm correct indicate another issue, but should fix your account in the meantime.

Hi, thanks for the help, I've rebooted my router and asdl line a couple of times and I am still getting the same speed problems, my connection is still constantly stuck at 128kbps

Hi Pete,
Sorry about this.  it looks like our earlier request didn't get action, but it has now.
Could you possibly reboot again for me and let me know how things are then?

Pete
Glad it is fixed now.  All it needed was a little help from our friends Jamesh & Co!  I think we'd all run out of any other options.
Now to the serious business - using this download rate on Broadband Pro!

What the HELL!?!  Huh

I got one of those "you've reached your limit" emails. Can you guys not handle someone wanting over 10Gb on your "Pro gamer" setup or something?

10GB is the limit on BBYW Pro.
If you want more, purchase it.

Re: Connection so slow I can't even run a speed test!

But the page clearly states the paid for allowance s 14GB so no management should be applied.
Peter, how have you configured your account when you exceed your allowance: Automatically add more allowance (which you pay for)  or don't add more allowance and get restricted.
The page suggests it added more allowance (at 2GB chunks) and its added 2 (4 GB making the total 14GB) although your peak usage has not exceeded 12GB yet so the 2nd 2GB should not have been added yet

Sorry. missed that  Embarrassed
In which case something has gone wrong as no warning or limits should be applied yet. Another one for PN to look at!

Re: Connection so slow I can't even run a speed test!

It's a new package so there will always be a few issues as people use the package in different ways to what was possible in testing.
