Slowest speed ever I've ever had

[#1]

Rebooting both boxes brought it back up to 30 down

[#2]

Hi Steve,

Seems odd, are you still having problems today? You've been syncing well at 35/8 since this disconnection last night.

[#3]

I've been been getting a solid 31 down / 6 to 7 up for a long time. Last night nothing was working well and when I did a speed test it showed those results.

Its been fine since - Syfy wasn't glitching at all last night.

Speed test this evening is showing 31.38 down 7.12 up

[#4]

Poor speeds again (down to 11Mb, then up to 22).

Looks Like I'm getting quite a bit of packet loss -

[#5]

Which Gateway are you on? I still had problems on Colindale over the weekend.

[#6]

You are currently connected to gateway pcn-bng02.

This is located in Colindale Point of Presence.

Good Morning @SteveA,

Is there any chance you can drop me a PM with the link to your live BQM graph please?  We're keen to take a look at the issue.

Reading the hex ID string in Steve A's TBBQ picture gives

😉

[#9]

That also works 😉

[#10]

Yes that's the url.

Speed seems to be OK at the moment : 30 down / 7 up

But packet loss and latency seems to be increasing - its almost as if the minute I put any load on the line it falls apart.

Edited to add : speed now varying between 15 and 28 down. Up seems to be stable

[#11]

Speed up and down, IPTV channels not watchable.....

[#12]

@scrookes - Youview box this morning refused to run any on-demand services.

BT Speed test doesn't seem to find any problems at all

I guess the Colindale PoP is basically broken.

[#13]

This is getting a bit silly - still at least the packet loss has vanished

Hi @SteveA,

How is the Youview box connected (Wired , Wireless , Powerline)?  If using Powerline, have you tried seeing if it improves by making a direct wired connection instead?

We're not seeing any issues at Colindale currently and checking your VLAN status on the Wholesale network does not indicate any congestion.

[#15]

I *think* the youview online TV is delivered to each fibre cab or exchange via multicast.

The TV datastreams do not go via the normal backhaul SVLANs or the Plusnet network.

I am not sure how the youview decryption is enabled / activated but I assume that is via the PN network.

So a PN connection will be required to enable you to watch a data stream separately delivered from the local BT exchange / fibre cab.

Hence, youview picture breakup points to more localised issues.
