Re: Eratic Speeds

Some strange tests there:
Oct 25, 14:27    131308 kbps (16.4MB/s)    378 kbps (47.3kB/s)    = 130Mb
Oct 25, 14:07    86090 kbps (10.8MB/s)    357 kbps (44.6kB/s)      = 86Mb
Is this from speedtest.net? Are you on ADSL (guessing you are from your upload speed)?

Re: Eratic Speeds

Which browser are you using? Do you have the latest version of flash?
Those speed test results are really weird because some are a lot quicker than your line is capable of (or any ADSL connection is capable of).

Re: Eratic Speeds

Can you try running the BT Speed Test (http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/) and going to Further Diagnostics and posting your IP Profile?

Re: Eratic Speeds

I ran a BT test.
The speed coming into your house
 
The speed you get at your computer
Connection speed
Good
 
    Download speed 6.74Mb
    Upload speed 0.37Mb

Good
Connection Speed is the speed that your Home Hub communicates with the Telephone Exchange. This is sometimes called 'Sync Speed' or 'Line rate'. This is usually the maximum Speed your line can support for the broadband you're on.
 
Download Speed is the actual speed you receive at your computer at the time you ran the test. This speed can be affected by the number of people and devices using your broadband connection and whether you use a wired or wireless connection.

Re: Eratic Speeds

Not sure what you want Plusnet to look at?  Your results seem to show that whatever you are using as a speed test isn't working correctly.  If your line is set to around 6.7Mb/s then any result faster than this is erroneous...

Re: Eratic Speeds

OK, once again, what do you want PN to sort out for you?  Other than some kind of caching issue on your PC is giving faster than expected results I don't see any problem?
Your BT tests seem fairly consistent?
