The problem of degraded, inconsistent download speed has returned. My download speed is currently fluctuating minute-by-minute, second-by-second – there’s no consistency whatsoever (for the last couple of hours throughput has rarely been higher than 2.5 Mbps on my 7 Mbps line, and ping times are inconsistent again). I’ve had enough. I’m probably going to switch to an ISP that has a better record of dealing with BT’s BS. It will cost more per month but I’m willing to accept that if it means a more consistent broadband connection.
If you’re having similar problems please complain to your ISP.
I am not seeing speed fluctuations (in fact seeing good speed c 6.5mbs!).However, I do see what appears to be the connection regularly dropping.
IM’s (yahoo and windows live) keep going off and then showing they are reconnecting. At the same time the webpage that I am viewing goes blank and has to be refreshed.
This happens on both a direct link (cable) and on wireless on different pc’s and different operating systems.
Has anyone else noted this by any chance?
My download speed is well below 2 meg again according to my ISP’s speed test. I had just started to believe the problems had been fixed, but no. Same issue that’s been affecting this area for over 6 months now. BT are a joke.
I rarely get above .75mbps put presently I’m getting only 0.1mbps. Dial-up +1 in otherwords

It’s just dived through the floor this week. We get a rough deal anyway (sorry sir, too far from the exchange) but this is beyond a joke.
