my d/load speed

[MOFO]

is still cack, wont go above 50kbs?????

spoke to my ip and they say line is fine, what the feck is going on?

 

[ollie]

Who are you with?

 

[MOFO]

the dreaded aol. still got 16 months on the contract, really want to move.

 

[ollie]

That explains your slow speeds then, lol.

 

[MOFO]

i used to get 200kbs all day long before? i rang and they said the line is fine, deleted the cach in the settings ect and still no joy???

 

[ollie]

Reboot router?

TBH no matter how much you complain to AOL they wont do anything. I was ringing up complaining pretty much every other day for nearly a month as there was blatantly a fault on my line and they fed me the same bull s**t every day, I'd ring up and they would do a line test, and then say they would send out an engineer, which they never did. Complete tossers.

 

[FiXX]

what speed are you synched at? and what is your bras profile currently? oh and your line attentuation and snr. you might be a fair distance from the exchange. Or you may have had a power surge or the like which has caused a massive amount of hec/crc errors in a small space of time causing bt to lower your profile to suit, happens often

 

[MOFO]

dont kno what the above are fiXX WILL REEBOT ROUTER NOW AND SEE, I USE A WIRELESS NETGEAR ON, ARE THEY NORMALLY s**t AS I HASE MAINLEY BEEN SINCE I CHANGED.

 

[FiXX]

your router will tell you all those stats, what model is it?

 

[FiXX]

netgear dg834pn is a good netgear router, you can even fool the exchange into thinking your snr is lower with that router efectively letting you choose your own bras profile

 

[MOFO]

dg834g v3 netgear router

 

[MOFO]

and how can i do the above, need to sort this out as they wont lol.

 

[MOFO]

on speedtest.net it says my nearest exchange in ireland? im in kent and theres a exchange in london lol.

 

[MOFO]

whats ms ping?

 

[MOFO]

what the f**k is going on? im on a 8 meg service?

You've been capped. You must have downloaded WAY too much in the past few weeks/months and AOL have restricted your download speeds. Its because ISP's have a fair usage policy and if you exceed their download limit your download speeds will be reduced. I downloaded over 100gb's of stuff within a few days and had exactly the same symptoms as you. During the day and after 11pm its spot on, but peak hours you will be capped to around 50kb/s or less. Cant do anything about it other than reduce your downloads and wait until they re-assess your downloading. Keep phoning them to request it be lifted.

havent dloaded feck all tho,

 

[Scutch]

Well that why I was capped. I was downloading everything from newsgroups. They didnt like that. After several phone calls I've now got my speeds back up. Around 4500mps now.

 

[MOFO]

on the phone now, is a fecking joke

 

[MOFO]

4500mps thats fast lol,

 

[MOFO]

there is no cap, they are looking ionto it, am on hold pmsl.

 

[Scutch]

They told me I wasnt being capped either. They havent got a clue.

 

[MOFO]

bird made me change router settings and i now have 5kbs better lol,

is a fecking joke, whats a command window????

 

[Dafthead]

I can't get capped, my company are their own isp and i control the network, so i can only kick my own ass, 600Kbps all day long

Just thought you might like to hear it

 

[ViolentJ]

what the f**k is going on? im on a 8 meg service?

It won't be 8Mb, it will be UP TO 8Mb.

d/l speeds will also depend on where you're downloading from and the time of day.

I could run a speed test at 6pm and be on the equivalent of 3Mb, run it at 7am and it will be 8Mb.

 

[ViolentJ]

bird made me change router settings and i now have 5kbs better lol,

is a fecking joke, whats a command window????

in Windows - Start -> Run -> type CMD or COMMAND

 

[FiXX]

nah you aint capped, that only affects peak times anyway and that still wouldnt explain your ridiculous ping times, i reakon its a line fault, try setting your own dslam as i said in pm if you still got no luck try the bt site to check if you have a line fault, you can do it yourself

type ping bbc.co.uk into a command prompt and paste the results here

[ViolentJ]

With the large variations you're getting it's probably just where you live, it's sunday and everyone is online.

If you want guaranteed speeds then you need to go with a cable provider.

 

[Dafthead]

Mwaaaaahhh

 

[seb]

mofo. it is aol being s**t. thye randomly reduce and increase your speeds. live with it.
