Question of the Day: What is the ultimate French toast topping?
Speed upgrade - uncomplaining!

Hi,
Openserve has made changes to the 50/25 package some time ago. They are now 50/50 line speeds. We have changed the packages accordingly.

Cool. Cannot believe I only noticed it today.
Out of curiosity: Is it possible that there could have been some delay in activation for a specific connection? I run a MyBB speed test at least five times a day and cannot think that I have missed a change for days (weeks?).

I don't think that would be possible. A production release happens once off. Not in stages. I.e. once OS makes a change to a product profile and puts it out to production, it immediately affects all customers on all ISP's on that specific profile.
It could be just a delay with Openserve and their changes for existing lines but new lines have been changed for 3 months now I believe.
Easiest way to check whether the problem with a slow connection is on my side or at source.and why exactly ?

Ok sure, fair enough, but if you run it ±5x every day like you stated, then you have some serious slow connection problems?

A 50/50 line running 5 speed tests a day is hardly using any data if that is your concerns.Ok sure, fair enough, but if you run it ±5x every day like you stated, then you have some serious slow connection problems?
Earlier this year when I was still on 1gbps I ran speed tests every 5 mins to provide Openserve with data around my lines getting congested at night. That was a waste of data but it showed the problem.
Sometimes it's useful.

LOL ... why would that be my concern.
My point is why randomly do speed test on a daily basis. If you have problems then take a test or two and send it to the ISP to get it sorted, but running tests the whole day long helps the situation nada.
The issue is mostly my own wifi extenders.
