Looks like it's slowing down again.....Even browsing seems to be crawling. Anyone else?????

This is supposed to be on a 256K package...

45.9 kilobits per second

Communications 45.9 kilobits per second
Storage 5.6 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 3 minutes
Subjective rating Slow
 
Communications 82.5 kilobits per second
Storage 10.1 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 1.7 minutes
Subjective rating Slow



Yes it is a lil slower than normal but then agian it is peak traffic on the net at 10pm u know.

Fantasy is what people want, reality is what they need.
 
Its definitely slow again. I dont need a test to show that. Whats up?

Im not gonna bother to phone Sentech.

It started at 16:50 today. Everything was running fine and suddenly it dropped to 3K/sec. Hasnt recovered since..

Oh well.. lets bend over again
 
Confirmation...veeeeeeery slow. I thought at first it may have been because I installed MySignal. At least the signal strength is the highest I've ever had on Tower 12 (15%).

BTW ProASM, thanks for that usefull piece of software. Now I don't have to go onto the roof to reset the modem when it looses the tower. Maybe now I can put the ladder back in the storeroom and get my "everything must be in it's place" GF quiet again ;-)
 
seems like everything is back to normal 6:57 AM

oh ok well 29.93kb/sec on Kazaa says diffrent lol[8]

Im on the 256k flavour why?

Your speed is: 11.47 KB/s
The test took 182.407 seconds to complete


WHAT THE ****...I'm 512k and I can't even get above 15kb/s download? Last night I downloaded that free Tribes2 game on SAIX, took me 11 hours to download it!!!! LOCALLLY!!!!!

Why do you have to "put your two cents in"... but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
 
I also downloaded tribes 2 and my download averaged 15Kb/sec and I'm on the 128 package. My speed is better that ever.
 
Same here. Things are at a standstill. When I bleated to tech support they told me it was a contention service, so tough luck. I'm on 512k and for the past week I've never, not once, seen throughput better than 24kB/sec

Your speed is: 3.31 KB/s
The test took 161.641 seconds to complete

The problem is most definatly not everywhere.

local is better now, 512k speeds, but international sucks ass @ 128k speeds
