Return of the dreaded Single Thread Slow Down.

My Broadband Speed Test

 

I had this issue last year and Gandolff changed my vlan even though it wasn't showing hot, and it resolved issue.

Its been like this for a while.

Single thread test fluctuate, same as last time. 

 

P.S This is on Wired

Re: Return of the dreaded Single Thread Slow Down.

Thanks for getting in touch @Faizan786.

We've tested your line and whilst we can't see any issues remotely we'll speak with our suppliers to see if they can identify any cause.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused

Re: Return of the dreaded Single Thread Slow Down.

Whilst our suppliers QA team still aren't willing to move your circuit to different VLAN, I've been advised that they've raised it internally to check the back-haul network. I'll continue to chase for updates where required and I'll keep you posted.

 

This is how gandalf resolved my issue last year.

 

Thanks

Re: Return of the dreaded Single Thread Slow Down.

Thanks for getting back to us.

We've raised it to the relevant team but similar to last time they're refusing to arrange a move as there plenty of capacity according to them (Apparently there's 5GB spare at the exchange).

I'll update you as soon as I know more

Hi @Faizan786

 

I'm sorry to hear you're having connection issues. Checking from this side everything is looking spot on to the router with barely any drops and 45.5Mbps download and 6.9Mbps upload showing to get there with no signs of errors. It is also not testing a hot VLAN. Can I please ask if the above tests were through a wired or wireless connection?

Re: Return of the dreaded Single Thread Slow Down.

Went wireless and it worked full blast. Turned back on via lan through Powerline adapter and got full speeds again. Weird must have been powerline adapter limiting speed to 9mb.
