This is a speed test from when I was on bng1 yesterday

It stayed like that all night.
At the moment, dsl6 was giving me around 6 - 13 Mbps tonight on single thread and multi thread was near max speed, since its nearing 11 pm, I'm currently getting around 25 Mbps on single thread.
So I agree with you, it does seem to be something wrong with certain gateways, especially dsl* ones.
I might try several PPP reconnects tomorrow to get back onto bng1 if its accepting connections again after the work done on it today.
When I first was emailing support I was getting emails back saying " at the reported time we can see your connection was busy " Yeah it was busy with me doing speed tests as requested and actually trying to stream stuff from YouTube but with endless buffering on 720p videos.. you know, using my connection that I pay for lol..
So I sent an email back being a bit pi**y saying " I'm not the typical user that doesn't know anything about networks or how the internet works " etc etc. Since then I seem to be getting replies from people that's part of the network team. But still not acknowledging that there's a problem within the network even after linking them to several posts on this board from staff members admitting it.
