Just done a test with Glasnost and this is what I got back, I wasn't surprised either!!!

iplayer is broke, and also broke at the same time yesterday weirdly. BBC know about it though and seems to effect all their streaming services.

Usenet getting 100kbps and gaming seems fine. Also Paul said they're looking into the Fifa issue to see what they can do about it. I suspect the dedicated servers are causing the issue with coms as normal xbox servers seems fine

Im intrigued now

Thanks for the heads up Bob about the Iplayer, bit of a bummer when I have a week off and everything goes down the pan.Further to my testing though just done an HTTP Glasnost test and there is no traffic management on that.

Do it, its not just you having this issue, we all have a right to know what he said, would be nice if he had the balls to post it on the forums tbh...

Ive tried to test my connection twice this week for various reasons, tonight with iplayer and the other day with xbox live. Both services died but obviously i assumed it was my connection. Talk about sods law when trying to do testing

Cruncher,

while I am inclined to agree with you I do respect his and my right to privacy, I will pm him and ask if I have his permission to make it public or not and see what he says.

ADSL24 never throttled or shaped the ADSL or FTTC connections I had with them and neither does my current ISP, Xilo.
Just get a MAC and move. There are enough ISPs that do not cripple your connection. Just find them and use them.

I agree with you about the other ISP's sadly I am totally locked into a 12 month contract because of my being so stubborn with refusing to pay BT £100 for an engineer visit they deemed was not required. Long story that has cost me more than if I had paid the £100 in the first place.

Throttled again this morning.. already
