Re: Connection terminated

It's most likely going to have been due to planned maintenance in your area.

Re: Connection terminated

Would you mind checking over my connection to see how stable it is ?

These speedtest sites show me having 71 down / 18 up.

http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest

And these ones show me having 50 to 55 down / 18 up.

http://www.broadbandperformance.co.uk

https://broadbandtest.which.co.uk

Very confusing... all of them should be reading about the same and from the post above my ip profile seams to have jumped up alittle... will this stay at that speed from now on ?

Hi @St3 this is how things are looking our end:

Looking at the connection, it looks like there were a few drops likely due to maintenance as Matt said, this looks all fine now but this could have reset the line causing a profile change.

 

Just out of curiosity, were those speed tests ran on a wireless connection? As a reset of the router can sometimes cause a an increase in wireless speeds?

Re: Connection terminated

It could be due to REIN (Repetitive Electrical Impulse Noise).

Do you have anything electrical near your router?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
