In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

a radius server in uk handles allocation

You sure? Are Radius servers involved in LLU? OP is on TT LLU; witness his up sync.

Well spotted! But I am doubtful of your conclusions.

1. Even if you route via abroad, this might increase the latency, but speeds around the Net are vast compared with the bottleneck that is your, and particularly the OP's, ADSL link. You can d/l stuff even from the States at full throughput speed of your connection.
2. What is TT doing dishing out IPs belonging to Deutsche Telekom & VM? Are they connected?
3. We don't know whether OP gets "a certain sync speed - which you get consistently". He has only ever posted 1 reading despite our pleas to post them every time he does a test.

No, the OP complained of 'slow speeds' - to us that means lag or slowness (I think). But there isn't much difference between 1.3mbs and 1.6mbs UNLESS you route the long route.

This is definitely the issue, I feel. If you sync'ed at say, 10mbs you maybe not notice it... but you sure will on a lowly connection.

Hence why the two IP ranges assigned are different. Re-read Scottie's original post, and it is stated WHEN the IP changes, the connection is *slower*.

EDIT: forgot to say, but where does it route to after Germany? Scottie could be doing a European tour before coming back to Blightly, for all we know.
