Not to the same extent but sometimes i see around 6-8mb difference in single threaded , to tbb speedtesters, but i enter zen's network from manchester, though shortly after the work on the london side was done there has been a slight increase in latency to some places tbb is one, and the jitter levels are creeping up again in the day time

I'm seeing same on my Zen connection.
HTTPx6 runs at expected speed of about 70Mb but HTTPx1 is bursting all over the place and struggles to do more than 15 to 20Mb and is often <10Mb.

Zens inability to maintain a good quality connection beyond a few weeks at a time is getting very tiring.

I have the same issues, and have had them since May.

There are no updates from Zen, each time I have to go to them to get more info. I can see nothing on their website, no public acknowledgement of this issue.

Before I got 70, now 10-25.

Zen used to be good, but its like they only care about business customers now.

How long has this been ongoing?
Also out of interest how much do you pay Zen for this abysmal service?
As a reference, I have two services, BT residental and TalkTalk
BT I pay for 55Mbps: Line rental + £11 a month = £29ish
TalkTalk I pay for 38Mbps: just line rental at £17.70 + £0 (discounted) for fibre medium = £17.70 total
My speedtests (all over 5Ghz wireless with 2 walls between me and the router). On both BT & TalkTalk the lines are so identical you cannot even distinguish the single vs multi threaded:

Dare I say it, if this has been going on for a while, I would seriously be considering an ISP switch in your shoes. I get the feeling you could save a lot as well, especially if we factor in Quidco Cashback.

EDIT: Just seen it has been ongoing since MAY! That is far too long - jump ship mate.
For reference I am based in London where usage is bound to be really heavy and it's still fine.

please don't suggest BT consumer they have [censored] cs and tech support, that is as well as no static IP and their web censorship bs,

Agree standard CS is not good but there are a few good teams within BT. You just need to know where to email / call. Once you reach UK support they are very good, as many have found out on here when i have put them in touch with said people.

Web censorship is no worse than virginmedia or sky in my experience.

Static IP fair enough.
BT Business is an option where these features are required.

The point is the op has had congestion since May, that's almost 6 months of congestion, so my advice stands to migrate out to another ISP.

If advanced features are not required standard residential broadband is fine.
For more features / better CS, TalkTalk Business and BT business are decent options.
