Speed

this weekend my speed has gone from 6.5meg to 250k. What the "F" is going on with Orange?

Exactly the same thing happened to me although I'm only on 2meg. Speed was abysmal, down to between 200k and 500k for most of Sunday. Absolute garbage!

Happened the previous weekend as well and some nights during the week including tonite as I'm now down at 400k to 630k!

I wish I'd stayed with Zen, more expensive but a LOT faster!

Edit, just reached an all time low of 80k - wow, I'm so glad I joined Orange!

2nd Edit, can no longer use VOIP because the connection speed is so low the LiveBox cuts off the call (which is extremely garbled anyway due to poor connection). Tried to contact Orange on Landline, gave up after 15 minutes of waiting!

Hi, Im new to forums so bear with me please.

I'm on Orange 2Mb also, my speeds since joing them on Oct 17 this year have been consistently below 250k, tonight I'm down to 60.97Kbps, which has become a norm, any time day or night even weekends. And this is broadband?

The 60.97Kbps test was completed at 1920 hrs this evening.
New test taken at 2125hrs:
Down 61.21Kbps
Up 169.10Kbps.
These speeds have become a norm for me since I joined Orange. After weeks and weeks, (since Oct 17) of trying to resolve the problem, both with Tech Support and customer support, all they have told me is they will do a line test. I have had at least 4 done so far. Nothings changed.

This is my 1st night with orange broadband.

If it continues with rubbish speeds ill be leaving as quick as I joined.

Speeds now are:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 323 kbps (40.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 312 kbps (39 KB/sec transfer rate)

where below shows the speed that I enjoyed all day.

Speed now at 6mb. I only live over the road from my exchange (and I do mean over the road).

I am in Teesside.....where is everyone else?

The speedtest on here seems to be going through one of its fits again...

Try these test sites instead...

The exact same thing has happened to me, I should be on 4mb but my download has dropped to 69kbps.

Does anybody know whats going on?

is this connection speed or throughput? (I assume this is throughput)
What hardware are you using (if its livebox, what do the stats say?)
What are you using to determine your speeds?

How do you know the problem is due to Orange, What service are you on? i.e. is it a Orange LLU Line or BT IP Stream Max?

Same here. I
