Hi @TheChefuk  Your problem probably needs to be investigated as a possible fault and should be in its own Topic.

Re: Throttling at peak times?

Welcome to the community forums @TheChefuk

I've got our suppliers to move your connection over to a different VLAN in the hope that will resolve the issues you're experiencing. It should complete within the next 48 hours and I've set a reminder for myself to check back then.

Re: Throttling at peak times?

Our suppliers have advised us that your circuit has been moved.

How are your speeds?

Re: Throttling at peak times?

Our tests still aren't flagging any issues, but I'd like to take this back to our suppliers.

Can you run the BT speedtest at http://www.speedtest.btwholesale.com using a wired connection, completing the further diagnostics at the end, and then report the fault to us at http://faults.plus.net

 

Let me know over here when you've done that and I'll look at it tomorrow.

That's good to hear Thumbs_Up

It's flagged to the relevant people and we're investigating though. Would be helpful to know if the issues return.
