Really low download speed & High Ping

[#1]

I don't know what has happened to my internet lately, the ping started to increase between 100 to 1000 in the past few weeks and ever since then the download speed has been below 2mbps which is terrible.

[#2]

Have you tried this?

[#3]

Read my thread.. Does it sound similar ?

popeyeuk, Thats exactly what i'm getting, How did you fix the problem?

@DontDisobeyy
I've just been running some faults diagnostics which aren't indicating any problems with the fibre connection.
If you've been testing speeds over WiFi can you perform a test connecting via ethernet here for us please? http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/

Hi there mate.. I switched my router off waited a minute or two the restarted it and it changed gateways from  pcl-bng01 to Gateway pcl-bng02  ...  
this was suggested my a gent who replied to my thread.. all is still fixed and working well..
You can find your Gateway by going here http://usertools.plus.net/@gateway/
Not sure why it changed or if you can make it change though

[#8]

To change gateway
1. Check which one you are on here http://users.plus.net/@gateway
2. Log onto your router and click the "disconnect" button (its location on the router webpages varies by make and model of router)
3. Wait a minute, really do wait a minute, then click the "connect" button
4. Check which one you are on again at http://users.plus.net/@gateway and hopefully it has changed.

Thank you very much, it says i'm on gateway pcl-bng02. I'll check on the internet for a few days to see if it has gone better.

If they are the results over wired, that firmly points towards the wireless being the issue. Have you tried changing wireless channels at all?

[#11]

hey Chris, I've changed my wireless channel many times and have experimented. No luck though all of the channels gave me low download speed and extremely high ping when testing each one for about 10 mins.

[#12]

I have noticed that it is at certain times that the ping increases and the download speed lowers, should I take note of this?

[#13]

so, back to really high ping. It's getting worse now i'm getting 1000 consistently.....

I don't understand how the ping goes this high...

Maybe you are saturating your upload - or someone else is. That will cause the issue you have "randomly".
Turn off other machines/devices and anything uploading (cloud backups, Windows 10 sharing, file sharing) and try again.
