Slow speeds today

Getting really slow speeds today (17 July), no packet loss however. Tried https://speedtest.aa.net.uk/ and getting 180Meg down and this is the TBB speedtest https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16580875423...

Note these speeds are testing >800Meg usually as I'm on the 1000/100 package.

Get in touch (email/phone/irc etc) and we can check your line etc...

Everything is back to normal this morning https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/16581318957...

If it happens again I'll raise a support issue, many thanks.

Sorry for the slightly off-topic reply, but I'm fascinated by the fact that you really need 900Mbps when you're using an ISP with a 500GB/mo download cap. Why is this? At that speed, you could use up your entire monthly download cap in a little over 1 hour. How come you're so keen on massively fast download speeds that it's hard to even find a use-case for, yet don't mind relatively measly monthly download caps?

What makes you so sure that E300 has a 500GB/month cap?

Have you looked at the AAISP packages in the last 5 years or so?

I have 5TB a month which for me is as good as unlimited as I would never use that much. As some data rolls over each month, if I wanted to I could download 9TB this month!

Also its not about quantity having a 900Mbps connection, for me its about getting a faster upload speed and rather than something taking 10 minutes it takes 2 minutes.

I think you've misunderstood - 500GB is not the only option they offer.

But anyhow, a good reason anyone might want a gigabit-esque connection is simply to get things done faster - if you can reduce download time, it's worth it. Absolutely the reason I buy the fastest possible connections.

It doesn't matter if you download 500GB a month or 100GB a month, if you want the things you do download delivered as fast as possible...
