Slow internet speeds, finding it difficult to even load webpages.

Hello, well the title says it all.
It's taking me a while to do anything on the web. I have recently discovered that after a while of downtime my internet will suddenly come back up, then i goes straight back down again.. it's ridiculous. I can't even view pictures.

Please help, maybe it's my bandwidth or router?

Re: Slow internet speeds, finding it difficult to even load webpages.

Would it be possible for you to post the dsl statistics from your router?
If you are on a tg585 (the one PN gives out) then type "dsldevice" into the address bar of your browser, login, goto "Broadband connection". Under dsl, click "view more", and then "details". Paste everything there to this forum.
You could also try clicking this link to get the line statistics:
http://dsldevice/cgi/b/dsl/dt/?be=0&l0=2&l1=0
Are you connecting via wireless or with a cable?
If you give us this information we will be able to help you further.

HI Bradley,
Looks like some intermittent connection on Friday caused the profile to be lowered. I've just ran a line check now and it's up to 5000 , so you should be seeing good speeds now.

Hi Bradley,
I've just seen the PM's. It's always best to use the forum for questions though as if I'm not available it can always be picked up by another one of the team. I'll have a look further into your issue now and see what I can find.

Hi Bradley,
sorry, just gave you the wrong info, was looking at someone else's account. Too much Christmas cheer I think Wink
I'll be back soon with the correct answer.

Re: Slow internet speeds, finding it difficult to even load webpages.

Hi Bradley.
upon further investigation it appears you have gone over your usage for this month. As your account is on fixed billing this will restrict your speed once your usage allowance is reached. You can change this by visiting here and any extra GB you use between now and the end of the month will be charged at £1.
