I've noticed that in the fast few weeks, my evening speeds have downgraded. What I can't understand, is why during the day it's much faster than any other time, especially at around noon. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

Here are the average speeds I've been experiencing from 10 March:

07:00 - 12:00 = 550kb/s avg
12:00 - 14:00 = 780kb/s avg
14:00 - 18:00 = 400kb/s avg
18:00 - 00:00 = 220kb/s avg (Once 67kb/s)

Why does it slow down during the time when it's supposed to be the fastest? :confused: :mad:
 
could show that in YOUR case the tower you're on has more residential than business customers...

ie your speeds may be due to tower congestion not network congestion.
 
Lately for the last few days it is faster during the day than at night, but thats due to the incompetence of the iBurst tech team.

They should not be aloud to advertise their service as 1Mbps. All ads should say "up to 1Mbps". I think it's false advertising.

They should not be advertising on the radio or tv for new suckers (customers) either until they can supply a reasonable service to existing customers.

They want customers that only browse and use email and not "power users" like quite a few of us are, except the way it is right now even those customers will not be too happy, just think of all the customers that do not know about this forum, they must be wondering what is going on since if they call helldesk the answer they get is "nothing is wrong with the network":rolleyes:

My faith in SHAUN GREEN is fading fast as from the lack of interest/replies from his side puts him in the same bracket as the rest of the iBurst idiots.:eek:

I think most towers in the suburbs have more residential than business customers. That should be the case with our tower and many others but speeds are still generally slower during the day. Especially when he is testing at around midnight it should obviously be faster even if there are only residential customers on his BS.
