Unfortunately Zen have wrecked my once rock solid VDSL service.

So it looks as if I will be giving Andrews and Arnold a try.

Wow, they are expensive though!

Yes, mine hasn't been great.
Had a spell of it dropping the connection - twice for much longer than a brief spell too. If I check something like 'what's my location', I seem to have moved (routing I suppose). Tells me I'm in Edinburgh now, earlier in the week it was Colchester, and previously for a long time, near Kensall Green, which used to be very good, and even better was a long spell in the Westminster area.

Richard at tech services was very helpful, but although the connection has been fine this past two days, I'm getting delays in email downloading, images loading slowly, even pages hesitating before appearing.
Everything speed-wise and SNR looks pretty good - just isn't working as well as it looks.

I do know a lot of maintenance/repair work has been happening lately - could that be the cause I wonder, or perhaps somebody working on the system altered something ..who knows. Hard to tell, but it's not perfect at all.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I believe we've spoken before, but if you want me to take a look, please PM me your details and I'll take a look for you.

Absolute [censored] evening time on FTTC down from 73 MB/ps daytime to anything between 16 to 20 evening time

I've been seeing the same peak time problems for the last couple of weeks and have documented my findings here - http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/zen/f/4581803-poor-...

Sad to see Zen's service deteriorating like this and time for me to consider moving on I'm afraid as browsing at peak times is far from fluid due to the massive increase in latency

Glad its not just me (although sorry you are having problems)

I have been having the same issues for weeks, if not months. 70+ solid in the morning/early afternoon. Sometimes struggling to get above 10mbps down in the evenings.

Initially thought it was my router, so invested in a new one - didn't fix it.

Reported via the guys on here who found a fault on the line - had that fixed and all seemed back to normal however, again this week, experiencing unusable speeds in the evenings and running out of patience.
