I synch at 8096 and my stable rate is 7000 Kbps. On the Plusnet speed test
site I usually get well over 5000 Kbps. Of late, speeds in the evening
have been dreadful and this is the result of my latest speed test.
Today 21:24 490 kbps (61.3kB/s) 291 kbps (36.4kB/s) .
Both up and down are being affected, but my download speed is only 10% of
its usual figure. I'm on the ptn-ag1 gateway.

Quote from: Barry I wonder if it's US election video coverage?
I wouldn't thinks so, it is only now 16.30 EST here in Philadelphia, [GMT -5hours] the polls don't close till 20.00 so there won't be much to report on just yet.
by the by, I am on Verizon fios and just got this
Even better than my new super duper ring wire free speed I get at home

BBMAX Speedtests are coming in at about 1MB/s, and I'd certainly usually see 4MB/s-5MB/s even mid evening here. I also notice the speedtests are "pulsing" IYKWIM
this is legacy BBPlus, and been on ptn-ag2 for about 200 hours now.

263 kbps upload.
Boy, am I wondering why I'm spending/wasting my time doing speed tests?
21:59 - 803 kbps (100 kB/s) (download)
241kbps upload
I remember when I used to get about 6mb/s surfing, regardless of the hour. My reckoning is that plusnet have too many customers to provide a good 24 hour service for. Mind you, saying that, this has mainly been relatively recently - like the last month or 2.
I don't know what's happening behind the scenes, but if people can still sign up, I hope that there is plenty invested in what people are signing up for. Plusnet advertise that the "free" BB providers are not providing good service, but... hmmm.. would I rather pay for poor service or get it free..?
every time I'm obstructed by poor connection, I start thinking about the Sky TV and BB package. There are quite a few things that put me off, but I know a few people with it who have had no problems at all.
and what's this all about?:

Today 22:16 750 kbps (93.8kB/s) 282 kbps (35.3kB/s)
Today 22:16 1495 kbps (187kB/s) 265 kbps (33.1kB/s)
Today 21:59 803 kbps (100kB/s) 241 kbps (30.1kB/s)
that is unstable!!!

You haven't gone over your usage limit for the month and been throttled are you?
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

Yet when I went online at 6:30am this morning it was all back to normal. Can someone point me in the direction of a speed tester?

no, I should have said earlier tho, so thatnks for prompting me to clarify. I'm well under my limit.
"Paid-for usage - 2.76GB"
My limit is 15GB, and after that I pay £1 a gig. I'm nearer the end on my month too. Like I suggeted earlier, it's the service I'd expect from one of the "BB free" deals from various ISPs. I just hope this is a temporary thing, and by temporary, I don't mean for the next few years temporary.
If it's going to be like this for the next few months, then let us know PlusNet!
