last few month

For some reason i can't play online without red spikes on my lagometer  Undecided its been like this for 2 month and nothings changed. 1 second it will be fine, but mainly just red spikes. and internet running slow, even if i want to watch a video on youtube it takes a while to load up. 😕
anyone know what this could be?:S
thanks

Re: last few month

are you using a wireless or wired connection?
Can you post the results of a BT speedtest http://speedtester.bt.com/ and your router stats - might help to identify if you have issues or not.

Re: last few month

Or it could be exchange contention, have you checked here to see if there's any problems with your exchange?

Re: last few month

Try checking link:speed to see if there is a localised problem - perhaps you have suffered a low sync event and have a 135K profile, for example.

Re: last few month

check here to see what PN have your line profiled athttps://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed  if thats o.k you need to check the bt speed test to see what your profile is with them http://speedtester.bt.com/
could do with some router stats. log into your router and post  your atten, snr , and sync speed
What router have you got and we can tell you how to login in to it.
most you log into by typing 192.164.0.1 or simlar into you browser address bar then admin for both username and password if you havent changed them

Re: last few month

The line stats don't look too bad,, what struck me though was that you had wireless enabled - but with no security.  If there's anyone living nearby they may be surfing the internet courtesy of your connectionwnl.  Wink

Re: last few month

Looking at your account it seems that you hit the usage allowance for your account on Sunday (26th) which is why the speed on the test you have provided is so low. I'd definitely follow the advice posted by others to protect your wireless as it could be this that is causing your usage to go up.
You can buy more usage at £1 per GB or wait until your billing date in a couple of days when your speed will increase anyway.
Hope that helps.
