BT Infinity (for consumers) has been no traffic management for a while, but some people on older contracts are still managed (maybe).

traffic management that kills HTTP protocol to a low level is rare, I think someone is down to the next excuse on the list to avoid saying there is a congestion issue.

The speed drop from 63 meg to under 5 meg after 4pm Mon to Fri and then goes back up to 63meg after midnight and then stays at a low speed all weekend, When I went back to Bt they said they had no restrictions but know seem to use traffic management it was one of their technical staff found it on their web page so I am trying to get them to let me out of the rest of the contract that ends in October this year so then I can move to a new service provider like I said when I went back to them they said they had no restrictions because I had a business account at the time as I told them I was a heavy user and when that contract ended I was going to move to Sky and that�s when they said that they had no restrictions on a normal home unlimited account and it was fine the speeds were great all day and at weekends but not now???

That's amazing because i have just started having almost the exact same problem as above and am waiting for BT to call me about it. I have a friend in the same area who is also having these problems so i know its not just me. I live in Chepstow in Monmouthshire and the problems started last Sunday and this evening i am getting 8meg and so is my friend...we are not happy as we are paying a lot of money for this service!

i live in Chepstow, Sedbury.

Fired off an e-mail to BT CEO last night and got a reply containing this

"Your case has now been escalated to our team and we have now taken full ownership of the problems you are facing"

So hopefully something will now be done.

How awesome are BT...i can hardly contain my excitement
I love BT Infinity

I've been on Infinity2 for 4 months and have never experienced any traffic management or throttling issues, but what I have experienced...and even did a post here about it a few months back...is occasional very slow speed test results while at the same time the router was reporting it was connected at 76mbps. It would appear that was some sort of general technical issue, as others reported the same, but it happened again last week.

Contention - it is what makes residential broadband affordable.

Yes but 13.15 Mbps tonight is laughable...oh how i laughed!
