Speedtest showing throughput at normal levels just after plusnets usage graph has peaked and started decreasing http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3246587413
I seriously doubt that plusnet will have to look very far to find where the congestion is, once they admit it's within their own network of course

I would think you're seeing exchange congestion. A good test is going to be to run the TAP3 test on the BT Speed Tester (but you're going to need to throttle your download speed so it triggers the option for you to run the test).

Well i only see these issues during the peak time ( plusnet's peak time window) and Sunday & Mondays are the worst days, and issues like congestion can exist within an isp's network without all their customers being affected , Last week there was an outage at the exchange i'm connected , but it never affected me,
So just because you see the full speeds doesn't mean that the problems i'm seeing aren't down to plusnet in some way or other, as before xmas i was seeing almost full speeds, not just in speed tests but actual use ,

1) Download http://www.netlimiter.com/
2) Limit your browser speed to below 5Mb/s
3) Run the BT Speed Test again
4) Click on Further Diagnostics, enter details
5) You should have failed the download speed test - click continue at the bottom
6) Turn off/close Netlimiter and enter the BT test login details to your router
7) Run the TAP3 test and see the results
If you see a significantly higher speed on the TAP3 test (which bypasses PN's network), that will be proof it's a PN problem.

Quote from: deathtrap But traffic management isn't for our benefit , it's their to save them money on bandwidth
I disagree. Is there to provide tiers of experience quality for different applications on Unlimited. We certainly used it in the past to control high bandwidth applications on the older products, but that isn't the case any more.
