ISP advice

Hi Guys

I have two Fibre connections one with TT and one with BT so I was thinking of getting rid of one of these lines and going with a new ISP was looking at the likes of AAISP 'Zen so apart from the customer service and support how would I benefit from changing ISP ? . what im looking for is no slow downs better ISP for gaming . the kids do a lot of watching Netflix gaming etc . what do you guys think any advice recommendations

You need to check how many GBs per month are used by Netflix, as AAISP could be quite expensive if the kids are using it a lot. Zen do have an unlimited option, but so far as I know AAISP don't. The 1TB per unit middle of the night tariff if it still exists doesn't sound like it would help you).

thanks for reply
I say a lot but I don't think I hit 500gb per month . which ISP would you recommend?

What's wrong with the two you have, and simply dropping one? We need to make sure any recommendation doesn't have the same problem.

Incidentally, what connection speeds are they? (As opposed to advertised product speeds).

good question I say that all the time to the kids when there moaning at me it would be cheaper for me if I got rid of kids LOL . Infinity 2 I get 60down 15up Fibre Large I get 74down 18up . both lines are good but in the evening time i do get slow down. pages slow to load lag in xboxlive etc

Are both lines in the same building? There's quite a speed difference between the two. If they were on the same cabinet I'd expect them to be very similar.

Hi
yes both same cabinet and building was getting same speed on infinity 2 as Fibre large until BT slowed down crossed-talk and all that rubbish

BT has recently rolled out something called G.INP across most, if not all, of its network. This addressess crosstalk issues and improves performance - very considerably in some cases. Not all hardware iis compatible. Yours may not be. If you say what it is, someone may be able to tell you.

yes have read about that not on my ECI cabinet yet I am using a Zyxel SBG3300-N on my Fibre Large connection and HG612 latest firmware with asus rt-n66u on Infinity 2

That sounds weird. Are the lines running totally separately, or have you got some kind of load-balancing setup as well?

Do Ethernet-connected devices slow down when the wireless ones do? I suspect the problem may be the wireless not the connections themselves.

I did for a short time have load-balancing setup. all speed test etc done with Ethernet cat6e cable not sure on wireless . have hardwired from the A/B connections on the VDSL faceplate with cat6 cable to the modem / router


on checking my states on Fibre Large here is what it saying it was this and did get a uptime of 12days

The slow one has got interleaving on. The fast one is on Fast Path. That accounts for the sync speed difference.

You aren't by any chance saturating the upstream in the evenings, perhaps satisfying P2P requests? (No judgement, just trying to think of causes).

no mate nothing like that


what I don't understand how can one reset not by me lower my download speed my understanding is that there needs to be a few resets in a short period then DLM thinks there's a fault or errors on line and will lower speed

TT Speedtest Test2

Bt Speedtest Test2

after reading some feedback on sky fibre I have decided to move one of my lines over to them
