Poor speeds today?

Is anyone else experiencing slow speeds today?

Here are my speed test results

I'm on 8000 pro. My router is synced at 7552 kbps. Tried rebooting it anyway but it had no effect

No, I can beat your rubbish Zen speeds today, although as I put in seperate thread, it's been going on for days, and no reason.

Hmm. I don't think your problems are related to mine though. I see your sync speed has dropped right down. Mine it still over 7000k

You're right, probably not related.

Slightly down but it is peak time.

Well mine's been under 1 meg for about 24 hours now

Full 8128/448 sync on 20CN:



No problems on the network at the min either, no reason why you shouldn't get full speed. Maybe exchange congestion?

Seems most likely. I am curious though why my router is now syncing between 7100 and 7600. A while back it used to sync at 8128 every time. Not that I'd noticed any performance issues until today anyway.

Mine has a tendancy to do that, more often than not in winter though, when the nights get longer. Despite wanting to keep it at 8128, exchange congestion is generally the bottleneck, so losing upto a meg of sync harldy makes a difference.

If you post your full stats (attenuation/SNR etc.) then someone will be able to figure out what's going on. I suspect a series of disconnections at some point (thunderstorm, voice fault maybe) has pushed your target SNR up from the default of 6db. Mine can't handle 8128 at 9db or higher.

My stats, for reference:

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 8128 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 31 db 7.5 db
Noise Margin 7 db 27 db

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7616 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 24 db 7.5 db
Noise Margin 5 db 26 db

I did notice that the downstream noise margin was varying between 3 and 6 every time the page refreshed. Router is a Netgear DG834Gv2. My filters date right back from when I first got ADSL in 2003
