Re: New connection

Don't worry - not a problem at the moment and not likely to be as I rarely exceed half of my 120GB. I only did 10 minutes to "kick-start" the graphs really and will change it to something more sensible.

Do you get sensible upload speeds with JD's Auto Speedtester? I've just tried it and it consistently reports my upload speed at less than 5Mbps (download and ping are fine) whereas I know it's 15+. I have this issue with some other speed testers, e.g. thinkbroadband.com's Java tester rarely reports above 5-6Mbps for upload speed.

Hi Kevin,
I actually know the guy who actually created the Speedtester. Good friends with him actually from my days as an O2 customer xD
He would actually like to look into this for you but he can't help you on here as he can't sign up to the forum (Not a Plusnet customer)
Hop over to http://drlforum.co.uk, sign up and whack it in his support area and he will get back to you Smiley
Hope this helps

Re: New connection

You shouldn't really be using mybroadbandspeed.co.uk to test speed - see disclaimer at the top right. Speedtest.net is generally more reliable, or the BT Beta tester.

Re: New connection

Hi rongtw,
it is probably worth trying a disconnect/reconnect on your router to see if a different gateway helps, although your speedtest.net results show 3 different IP addresses since the speed dropped so the odds are that you have already been on different gateways.  What looks different to most others with download speed drops is the sub 1Mb/s upload speeds.

Re: New connection

Something really nasty there rongtw!
As I said, I can't recall seeing anyone on the trial with an upload speed that's dropped consistently to about a twentieth of what it should be, hopefully a staff member will pick this up and do some magic.
