Is anybody else having internet explorer timeout errors and dns errors keep popping up , i am lucky if i can open 1 out of five sites that i log into, and its not just my connection at home cos one of my corporate clients is even slower than mine with the exact same problem and we are in completely different areas ,Been getting worse in the past week.

On iBurst here, works fine.
 
Ask the iBurst representative on the forum... Oh no I forgot, they don't care.
 
K, so google works every 1 in so often but internet definitely does feel like complete poo at the moment, accessing local sites feels like when I'm capped, gonna do a speed test and see what it says
 
They have one of them that occasionally posts announcements telling us how brilliant the iBurst service is running.

must be a pc that is programmed to send a post every now and then just to give us false hope
 
lol, Just noticed now that the ad at the bottom of the myBB page also has a DNS error displaying :p
 
well did a test and its not capped speed but its definitely degraded.

Download speed: 542 kbps
Upload speed: 189 kbps
QOS: 60%
Connection jitter: 13.6ms
Packet loss: 0%

EDIT: Note that I'm about 2km from the tower and normally can get download speeds upto 130KB/s quite easily

Haha!! So true..

I don't think it's iBurst, cos I switched over to V3G for a while and it was the same slow as s speed...
 
Same here

I have noticed it lately as well..
Thought it may have been due to construction going on nearby, but interesting to see that others are having the same problem.

SpeedTest now down to 328 kbps download.
Used to get about 700 - 800 kbps.
 
Getting 35KB/sec on a single thread here, which is what I usually get from this particular,
overloaded, single thread only US site.
