Slow speeds

[rpm]

Hi

Are you guys also experiencing very slow speeds (much slower than usually for this time of month)? I have just done the UK Speed test and downloaded at 37 kbits/sec…

Regards,

I've also noticed that international browsing seems to be taking just that bit longer. I wouldn't be surprised if it's all the Doom 3 piracy causing the internet to fall to its knees

Seems faster now, don't know if it is due to the settings I changed.

well remember the uncaped users are back and there is not enough BW there is a squeeze the first few days until capping takes place ...

browsing international sites on ADSL is very very slow indeed! Its strange though as the latency is lower then usual :/ At the end of last month, latency was high [which meant we were goin via satellite]...
