Hi, we are looking for volunteers who can ideally test their Broadband Speed and Ping Times* on a daily basis. As you will have noticed, there has been an ongoing problem in the Purbeck area since December 2009, possibly even earlier. Our ISP (Internet Service Provider) has suggested that we collate...
Download speed and throughput are fluctuating again today. I'm also seeing packet loss. Nothing new then. Just to let regular visitors to Purbeck Broadband know that lack of updates from us doesn't mean that all is fine. I experience fluctuating download speed and throughput at various times throughout the day...
For the last several hours download speed has been yo-yoing again - throughput is inconsistent. To make things worse, I'm seeing 5 - 10% packet loss during nearly every ping test. I was hoping to find the situation had improved after taking a two-week holiday, but if anything it's worse...
If you are experiencing slow broadband today, chances are it is due to the Election Coverage. As remarkable as it sounds, there are countrywide reports of general slowness and BT and ISPs (Internet Service Provides) are attributing the problem to a higher than normal use of the internet! Normal service should...
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....
There is currently an Major Service Outage (MSO) in Weymouth, which is affecting 01305 area codes. This doesn't appear to be causing any problems within the Purbeck Area, but we are still seeing fluctuating speed-results when running tests via our ISP's. WEYMOUTH MSAN 302 : LOSS OF SERVICEUpdate Number 1Detected...
I'm currently seeing almost 100% packet loss to some websites while others seem to load perfectly (like Purbeck Broadband). Sites that aren't loading include Twitter (pinged: 85% packet loss, site not loading), Facebook and the New York Times (pinged: 100% packet loss, site not loading). Anyone else having problems accessing...
As of 11.30 am (1st April 2010) there appears to be a problem with broadband in the Corfe Castle and Worth Matravers area. We are awaiting a response from our ISP and will update this post with any news/info. Unfortunately, this is not an April Fools, and we would be...
It seems that degraded, inconsistent download speed is becoming the norm again. Before this week things seemed to have improved with longer periods of consistently fast service, but since Saturday there's been a decline in the quality of my connection. Download speed is fluctuating wildly minute-by-minute, second-by-second - there's no...
Download speed in Worth Matravers is low and inconsistent again today, Monday. As I type it is less than a third its normal level. It has been fluctuating wildly all morning (throughput is yo-yoing). Ping times are also very inconsistent (pings to bbc.co.uk are between 17-160ms). I had similar problems...
