A lot of people (possibly everybody) in the Purbeck Area are experiencing wild fluctuations in broadband speed again. To be fair, broadband speed results are never the same from one test to the next, but over the last three to four weeks my speeds have varied from a good 6 MB (6000 kbps) to an appalling 0.8 MB (900 kbps) in less than 30 mins… then back to 6 MB again an hour later.
Consistency in speed appears to be the number one problem (frustration) here in the Isle of Purbeck.
A number of people are running speed tests on a regular bases – I personally run hour tests using www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk as it keeps a record of all your tests and also allows you to export the results.
We would like to hear from anybody in the Purbeck area (Wareham through to Swanage) who is also experiencing fluctuating broadband speeds.
Please leave a comment below, stating your broadband supplier and a brief overview of the best and worst speeds.
Very slow speed again today – 900kb. Anyone else experiencing this. We did get BT out to check it last time, but they ‘couldn’t find anything wrong either here or at the exchange’ – it’s frustrating not to have a reliable fast service! And if BT don’t understand why then who does. Is it worth changing provider??
