A post in his thread in Resellers says "My router syncs at 8053 kbps". So could be anything.

Just to clear up any possible misunderstanding for the users Matt, does that mean, along with the first hop being to ADSL24/Coms (as per my earlier post), that they are not "using Enta" in the sense of the same way as an Enta reseller with their traffic going through Enta WBC nodes, but that they possibly/probably have their own WBMC MSIL somewhere?

They are unlikely to be terminated by Enta.
The first hop is a Coms hop, likely a coms router. Between the customers router and hop one will be the underlying wholesale network which you never see.
The coms router will then have internal peering to their routers and then on to the wider internet, via their transits (Enta, Cogent et all).
So they are not "using Enta" in the context of how this forum would refer it... they are only getting an IP transit feed from them as you would from any transit such as NTT/Level3 and so on.

Thanks . That, put better, more technically, and more authoritatively, is what I have been suggesting to a few of them for a while might be the case.
They have no need to fear "Enta", but there do appear to be capacity or balance problems under Coms control that they need to sort PDQ.

To avoid any ambiguity on this, use the Cogent looking glass at http://www.cogentco.com/en/network/looking-glass
Put 109.224.191.50 (or any new Coms IP there) and it won't even hit Enta but will get to the destination (if it responded to traceroutes!

I suspect Coms pref Enta over their other transits for various reasons (i.e QoS or cost) as nearly all BGP-based networks can do. Might help them if they updated the reverse DNS though on each end of the peer to something like enta-peer.coms.com or something which might calm fears a little.

A post in his thread in Resellers says "My router syncs at 8053 kbps". So could be anything. Make up your mind!
Exactly! And the OP in this thread asked "Does this then suggest that I am on the old BTWholesale product?" to which my suggestions are attempting to answer.

The router stats show he is on ADSL2+. They do not show G.DMT. I don't see how his router stats could show whether or not he was on BT Wholesale. Which is what you thought they might. My "How?" stands  .

Come off it! This is never ending! Do you read these posts fully?
What router stats? I see none here. If in some other thread, then all the OP (or you if you are so concerned) need answer to my Q is a link to it.
Read OP's Q and my quoting of it again; he asked 'am I on the old BTWholesale product?'.
I don't really understand the later posts in this thread about peering and transits. So maybe my Q has been answered. I don't really know as that stuff could just be after it's handed off by BTw into ISP's network.
All this kerfuffle and argument in response to a simple Q  ! It's really OTT!

Hi guys I'm really sorry if I have confused matters by not reporting with the correct terminology.
Thank you very much for your concern and expertise.
Basically I have a stable line syncing at just over 8Mb.
My ISP was ADSL24 who have just been bought out by Coms.
My previous connection was fine and I achieved 8Mb speeds (900KB/s or so) pretty much 24/7.
Since being switched through Coms' network I am now seeing good speeds early in the morning but these drop as the day wears on so much that come evening time I only see 1 - 2Mb.
This has happened for 3 days in a row now.
I will also add that as the speed begins to drop off, it is usenet speed that drops off before http.
The service is obviously shaped/prioritised and oversubscribed.
