Yet again slower speeds

router reset it self 3 times this morning and the speeds are still slow it's dropped from 1.2mb downstream to about
0.7mb. on bt option 3 only used 36GB usage so not a heavy user and the router has not been turned of for about a month. IP profile 750kbps was 1000kbps. Is their anything that i can do or do i need to wait and see if it goes back to 1.2mb.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

you have connected at 1.6mb and if you can maintain connection 24/7 for next 3/5 days then your profile should rise to 1250 as can be seen here http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/IPprofile.htm

Yet another slow speed thread....

Every so often I have issues with the speeds pertaining to my two BT Broadband lines into my house.
So here we go again, I've problems with one of the lines which for my rural village location usually nets very good results...
Normally I get this :-

IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps

Presently I'm getting:-

Why I ask does the speed keep changing, today BT India claims it's a line CHOKE problem, likely story.
Net result wait another 48 hours for another phone call.
I get these issues every 6 months or so, I suspect the grass wouldn't be any greener with other ISP.
Can anybody offer any thoughts?

No changes, nothing at all, in actual fact I don't even have a PC connected to this broadband line it's purely for the games consoles. I have a separate broadband line for my home office etc.
Just had a call from BT India, with out wishing to sound derogatory I might as well talk to my pet cat. Apparently they were ringing to see if the problem had been resolved, I only reported it 2 hrs ago.

Same problem yet again max speed and ip profile sl...

I have only just had the issue fixed and it is again here it seems to happen between the 3rd and 5th of each month.
Everything was going good 28th august did speed test my max achievable speed was 7150kbps. My ip profile was 2500kbps. My hub setting for noise was at 3.0db/19.0dB
1st September noticed the speed was not as quick did a speed test max achievable speed was now 2000kbps and my ip profile had gone to 2000kbps and my hub noise was on 12.6dB/18.0db
This morning i got a phone call but nobody there checked my speed after as ive had such calls before and after these have happened it affects my broadband WELL GUESS WHAT
my Max achievable speed is now 500kbps and my ip profile is 500kbps and my hub setting shows my noise at 19.1dB/ 16.0dB So again i cant really use my broadband as it takes so long page to load it times out.
this is happening every month now from march and im getting really fed up with it now it gets fixed yep for a short while but then im back to square one again the beginning of the next month . I would like this issue to be fixed for good.

I have done the quiet line test and i hear nothing the modem is connected straight into my main socket which is the only phone socket i have it does have a built in filter in it.

Yet again slow MacBook Pro

Hey guys,
so I basically fixed my slow MacBook Pro about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine, but as of a about a week ago its just back to being just as bad as it was before and I can't seem to find any solutions.
I'm using a MacBook Pro 4GB DDR and 2.53GHz 2 Duo running on Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I've already looked for spikes in console and Activity Monitor and nothing to be found there other than a rather slow Firefox and generally slow Browsers.
I've deinstalled Akamai but it's apparently still on here and still running Errors but I can't erase it with just the console erase commands.
Heeeelp please

Especially Firefox and Safari but Pages and iTunes are starting to run slow too, and by running slow I mean the applications are starting up way slower than before and aren't running as smoothly anymore (kinda choppy page opening, recent crashing and non-responsivenes).
Nope I tried it on 3 different internet connections and two of them were the highest connection rates available here in Germany so not the connection.

Hit my record with BT's ridiculous slow speed.

Once again, slow speeds for no reason.
Probably because of their "remote" adjustments to my line - that's how they fixed my speed problems before anyway.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994037830.png
Without doubt, this is the worst speed and ping I ever, EVER had. Worse than dial-up. Thank you, my weekend has been wasted.

I can't take BT seriously anymore, it's a **bleep**ing joke.
A guy threw my mail through my door, I went to pick it up, then went back to my PC and what do I see?
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994705945.png
So, my theory is this. The vibrations the guy made with his attempt to slip the mail caused BT line go ape**bleep**, thus completely ruining my broadband for this entire day. Quality, top notch quality.
Update 1: I used the test socket behind the plate, the result:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994713166.png
Still not perfect though, the ping goes up and down randomly (from 50 to 1400). This is going to be a lot of fun.
Update 2: Just to show you how random it is, here a few more tests:

Garbage broadband speeds in Shetland yet again!

Yet again I find myself on here complaining about the garbage level of broadband speeds up here in Shetland. Its been on a go-slow all day and BT once again deny any problem exists.
Results of the latest speed test:
Ping: 1018ms
Down: 0.23Mbps

Slow speeds. Apparently I don't have a bt broadban...

After using bt's own e-form to email them about my long running loss of speed over the year from 2.6mb for the last say 10 years, to 1.6mb (1.4mb at its lowest) download / 0.36 up. ping latency around 0.38 i think, apart from today where its 42.25!! what's that?!
All I've got back so far is:
"Recently you requested personal assistance from our on-line support centre. Below is a summary of your request and our response.
If this issue is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may reopen it within the next 14 days.
Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. " ....and....
"This is in regards to the e-mail you have send on 20th August 2014. We are sorry to inform you that there is no sufficient information in the e-mail to pull up any active broadband account. We would request you to provide the details of your broadband account so that we can pull up the account and help you further."
Just to be clear, their OWN e-form didn't have enough information for them to find my account??? It asks for my name, address, phone number my broadband is on, email address, my account number (assume its the BT account as that's all I have), plus the problem. What else can I type in if there's no other fields.
So I submitted the form. A couple of days later I got an email back with the above included in it.
1. Why automatically close the call? They hadn't resolved anything, so why close it? The only other thing they mentioned was going onto their Help pages (durr how did i manage to use their e-form in the first place?).
2. No mention of what these missing "details" are. (On purpose?)
So I replied and being a little annoyed at their poor response, which just sounds like "yep dealt with that call within the response time target I got to make".
I've had BT broadband since its inception, even before, but they cannot find my account? Amazing they can bill me each quarter without any problems. So I sent my bt account number again even thought it was included in the e-form. Asked them clearly to tell me what "details" of my broadband account they need from me. More than happy to oblige. Oh, and no I'm not satisfied with their resolution and re-open the call!!
So some more days have now passed and guess what. I get an email with the exact same text!!
I replied. In CAPITAL LETTERS for the hard of hearing. What specific details do you want from me?
I wait in baited breath.
OMG I haven't even got onto the problem of the slow speed issue yet!
I guess they want me to phone (premium 0800 number?), or do something myself. I don't want to phone them as I've experienced the same ol' routine before, life's too short. I've paid the top price for ever, so I would think they could do some of the leg work eh? I mean part of the cost is the support they provide, right? How do you lose a broadband account?
It niggles me is that I pay same price infinity customers do and I'm still stuck in the dial-up speed ages. And don't get me on about those tv ads. Like everyone can get infinity. Yeah I'm still waiting after 5 years that it was coming. Amazing the Isles of Scilly with about 10 people living on there manage to get it quicker than me living in a town in the middle of the UK. I digress...
If I can do a speed test from both their bt.com site and btwholesale speed test and get a poor speed (approx 1.8 max) from exchange to router then I know by the time it gets to my pc its not going to be 2.6 is it.
PS i don't have a master socket/test socket to try. its the old type. And why has the speed just dropped and kept down (like for so many others in this forum), where nothing has changed, at least at the customers end of the line.
I don't expect someone in the forum to come up with the solution, but its more of a rant on my part at the poor response to my request, let alone some kind of investigation into the problem itself.
I work in "IT" and part of it is dealing with calls from customers. If I had dealt with a call like BT had then I'd be getting a ear bashing from my manager.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you want help about your conenction speed from the forum members then can you post the adsl stats from your router please.
can you try quiet line test dial 17070 option 2 should be quiet nohiss/crackle and best with corded phone if cordless then dull hum normal
can you enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html

Slow Speeds, Poor Service (Yes.. this is a rant)

As per the title:
I've had about enough of Verizon, and it's trash line quality and equally as terrible technical support.
9 months ago, my wife and I ordered a dry-loop DSL installation. We spent roughly 2-3 weeks awaiting a technician, to make the installation (which included a home installation for a splitter on a walljack), and throughout those 2-3 weeks, the technician insisted he was at our home, and no one was here. Thing is, we have 3 dogs, who go nuts when anyone approaches our driveway, let alone comes to our front door. The technician who was dispatched, was full of it; simple as that.
We ended up canceling our order, and per the recommendation of a customer support rep (via phone), we placed a NEW order, for home phone + DSL installation (according to the rep, dry loop was "difficult".. lol.. really!?), and the rep "promised" we'd have a different technician dispatched and the previous one would be "reported" to a supervisor.
Much to our surprise, the new technician actually arrived a week later, on time, and completed the installation in a timely manner (and was as polite as could be). During the installation, he informed my wife and I, that the rep who claimed the dry loop installation was "difficult", was being dishonest; which we already knew, but it showed that the guy had some integrity, and was at the least, honest.
About 2 months later, we couldn't tolerate the slow speeds any longer. Our package guranteed at LEAST a 1Mb connection, with speeds up to 3Mb (which is the package we ordered), but we consistently received less than 500Kbps, often times less than 200, or even 100. Once again, we had to request a technician, but this time, for a "home run" installation (which eliminates all wiring between our modem/router and the telephone pole). Thankfully, we received the same technician who performed the installation 2 months prior, and during the installation, I asked what HIS opinion was of the issue. He claimed it was just the lines, and that the "hub" at the end of our street, needed an upgrade to support our connection.
It has been SEVEN months, and Verizon has yet to address the obvious TRASH line quality, that I've invested $80+ into a month, and never received anything over 1Mb. Which brings me to:
Verizon's Copy/Paste Speciailists (aka "Technical Support")
My last conversation with a tech support agent, has thoroughly convinced me that Verzion is incapable of caring about their customers. The blind stupidity of this agent was befuddling! I mean, the guy actually told me to reboot my router while I was chatting with him ONLINE!
Quite frankly, if Verzion would stop using third-world call centers who hire people with a lack of comprehension in the English language, maybe customers would receive better support. I've had my fill of speaking to insensate, uneducated dimwits who Copy > Paste all of their pregenerated responses, that never result in a resolution.
Simply put, Verizon is by far, thee worst ISP in central Pennsylvania, and they'd do well by the decent, average, hard-working citizen to simply pull out of the area and allow more legitimate companies to get a foothold here. It's pathetic, that I've gotten to the point that I literally go out of my way, to encourage friends and family to avoid Verizon's services, at any cost. I've actually footed an installation fee for a friend who had to pay a fee to have service extended to his area, by another ISP.
The general synopsis of this wall of text, is that for 9 months, I've endured outrageous prices, for speeds worse than dial-up, all the while tolerating foreign technical support that left me in a blind rage after each encounter. If it weren't for the several obligations I have, that require me to maintain internet service, I'd have canceled my account with Verizon MONTHS ago, and purchased service elsewhere. But unfortunately, the money-grubbing company that is Verizon, has a monopoly in my county, and a belligerent chokehold on their customers. I absolutely despise Verizon, and wouldn't mind seeing them file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Ever wonder where the money in our economy has gone? Check Verizon's finances - they rob their customers blind.

Send me a PM. I'd like to get to the bottom of this without going through the nonsense tech support puts you through. If you're supposed to be at 1Mbps, I'm going to get you to 1Mbps. I'm on a 1Mbps line and it's unacceptable for my line to fall below that. When it does, I've got contacts who fix it on the spot, no questions asked. I understand if 15Mbps is a problem to maintain on a legacy network, but not 1Mbps, a bread and butter tier on a bread and butter network.
Oh, did I say I got Verizon to fix a congestion issue for a small town nearby me just recently? Had several people ask me about it. All coming off of common equipment, spoke to a few people, took 20 minutes, and those lines are behaving unusually well from what I've heard so far. Still some work to do but I've been working on making sure it gets fixed.

Slow speeds using airport express 1st generation

I am currently using an airport express 802.11n 1st generation. I have a direct link from my modem to the airport express which provides a wireless connection to 4 other devices, my macbook pro (2009), iphone 5, android phone, and a windows computer.
I have been seeing very variable download speeds when using speedtest.net on both my macbook and iphone. I had just assumed it was my internet provider. However, I tried connecting my macbook directly to my modem using an ethernet cable instead of through the airport express. When I did that I had the full 50 Mb/sec download speed that I am paying for. When I then reconnect the airport express and measure the download speeds through wifi and with all 4 devices connected, I see much slower speeds, anywhere from 4 Mb/sec to 30 Mb/sec, but never the full 50 Mb/sec.
It seems that when my download speeds are really slow and I reset the airport express by just unplugging it and then plugging it back in, the speeds generally seem to improve, but again they usually average around 15 Mb/sec.
Another thing, it seems like the download speeds improve if only 2 devices are connected and not all 4. Yet, this seems unlikely, I would expect that the airport express could handle more than 4 devices!
When I connect with airport utility, the airport express has the latest firmware. I can't think of much else that would cause these slow speeds.
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks.

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that appears during these hours that is preventing your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) from providing a clean RF signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

Please Raise/Uncap IP Profile - Slow speeds

Hi Guys,
Up until a week ago I was achieving speeds of between 18-20mb, no issues for
the past year.
This last week I've been losing connection intermittently. When it does work
the speed is between 3-5mbs.
The current setup is, a master socket box, with my router plugged in via a
filter.
Spoke to BT numerous times over the past week, carrying out their tests,
including quite phone line test and plugging my homehub directly into the
master test socket with a filter attached.
I could still here static over the line during this test. Yet still was told
that they can not see a fault on my line, but that the problem is with my
home wiring.
I have not changed any sockets or wiring in my property, up until a week ago
all was fine. I was not expericing these dreadful disconnects, nor slow
speeds.
Nevertheless, I understand faceplates and filters have the potential to giveup,
so I visited maplins.
One by one, I replaced the filter attached to router, tested speed, master
socket faceplate, tested speed and finally the master socket box it'self.
As you can guess, no change in static on phone line, random router
disconnects or speed.
As the week has gone on, the connection has stablized, only a few line diconnects here & there. Can still hear static, speeds have not budged.
I intend to phone BT again to request an engineer be sent out to test the phone line.
I'm guessing that the cause of the static is a phone line fault at BT's end.
And that my slow speeds are due to this phone line fault (instability), but
also the fact that it looks like my IP profile has been capped. (screenshot
below).
Screenshots below of tests I carried out before writing this.
I used to acheive speeds of between 16-20mb, my IP Profile can't be right.
Short "Connection time" because of recent disconnect:
All input will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully one of the mods can atleast in the meantime, increase my IP Profile.
Thank you in advance,
Y3n

Hi Y3n,
FTTC SHOULD not be too far away for you, viz :-
Many premises in Fordham are included within the Connecting Cambridgeshire programme. This means that, by the end of 2015, there will be improvements to the broadband infrastructure that will enable many homes and businesses to receive superfast broadband speeds (minimum 24Mbps)* while others will be able to receive fibre broadband speeds of between 2Mbps and 24 Mbps
It is now confirmed that fibre cabinets bringing superfast broadband will be upgraded December 2014 and March 2015. Check our map of cabinets for more information about where the cabinets are located. For more information about Superfast broadband visit our Superfast Question and Answers Page.
Best regards,

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Yet again connection drops !!!

after the last fix speed was ok for a few months but now gone back to the same old **bleep**. Speed dropping to around 0.06mb having to restart modem cant do anything with broadband at all !

K9N2 Sli Platinum + SSD OCZ Vertex 3 = Slow Speed Problem [PARTIALLY SOLVED]

Hey folks,
I have a problem with my new SSD. I only get sequential reads of 140MB/s and writes of 114MB/s.
I think it is a driver related issue. I once got faster SATA2-like speeds but cannot reproduce the system settings again... Everything back to SATA1-like speeds after reboot.
First my pc specs:
MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum, BIOS v3.9
- 6 SATAII ports by nForce 750a SLI
- 2 ESATA (External-SATA) ports (back panel) by JMB363
- Supports storage and data transfers at up to 3 Gb/s
AMD Phenom II 965 Black
Patriot PV224G8500ELKB Viper II Series DDR2 4GB (2 x 2GB, CL5 PC-8500/1066MHz)
SSD SATAIII OCZ Vertex 3, 120GB, FW v2.11
LG Internal BlueRay BH10LS30
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I only get very slow speeds with the SSD. I tried so many things that I am getting very frustrated now, I am even thinking about getting a new board and ram just to get the SSD up to speed...
1)
I installed Win7 first with all the default settings in Windows Setup from DVD. Default "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" driver was "Standard AHCI1.0 Serial ATA Controller".
SSD was connected to SATA1-port, On-Chip Sata Controller AHCI enabled in BIOS, Extra RAID/IDE Controller disabled.
All fine, but whichever benchmark I used (AS SSD, HD Tune Pro, Atto Disk Benchmark, CrystalDiskMark; other tools used: DriveControllerInfo, AIDA64/Everest, CrystalDiskInfo ) I got e.g. 140MB/s Read and 114MB/s Write sequentially (CrystalDiskmark, similar with random data AND only zeros ).
Trim working (it seems) with AHCI driver. I also changed to nvstor64 driver (nforce driver setup 15.56), with is marginally faster but not what you would expect from a SATAIII drive on SATAII controller.
2)
I installed Win7 using "diskpart" (Shift-F10) during disk setup, setting a cluster size of 64k instead of default. No real change.
3)
After reinstall of Win7 x64 (again...), I changed from SATA1 port to SATA6 port, also enabled Extra Raid/IDE controller set to AHCI as well.
Nothing changed. With all settings to default in Windows (ahci default driver), I then manually updated the ahci to nvstore64 driver in Device Management, rebooted.
Then a minute later after reboot I got the following Sequential speeds with CrystalDiskMark:
273MB/s read and 137MB/s write (random data) + 274MB/s read and 220MB/s write (with zeros) !!!
While I ran this benchmark Windows came up with a message: "You must restart your computer to apply these changes - Restart Now/Restart Later".
After the previos reboot, when I changed manually from AHCI to NVSTORE, I had changed nothing in the current session, apart from running CrystalDiskMark.
I did reboot and I was back to the slow SSD speeds again = 140/114 MB/s...
4)
I have tried every possible combination of mainboard SATA ports, drivers changing with nvidia setup/manually, deleting and disabling controllers (incl BSOD and startup repair :D ), chaning bios settings around, but I just cannot get back the faster speeds
There is never any change in speed, whether I use ahci or nvstore64, whichever benchmark I use, whether random or zeros...
5)
Could the SSD be broken, something internally preventing it from faster speeds (with this one random exception)?
Could it be that my K9N2 SataPorts only allows for / reduced to SATA1 speeds?
Am I missing something with the driver setup?
Do I need additional drivers for the extra JMicron Controller when using SataPorts 5/6 ?
I have no other mainboard to test this with...
Please guys, I am going to jump out of the window if I can't fix it... :(
Thanks, Mike

Hey guys - problem 'solved':
I tested the OCZ SSD Vertex 3 120GB with following sata3 controller card http://www.lycom.com.tw/PE-115H.htm.
The card itself works immediately (needs at least PCIe x4 slot, will work slower otherwise but still faster than the OCZ SSD @sata1 with nvidia chipset).
There is some raid setup, doesn't apply to me, the boot even with the card is really only a few seconds longer and not annoying at all. Windows (7 x64) needed a driver, supplied on CD (which is cheap and making noise like h**l). The card works w/o the driver but doesn't harm to install it...
Also, just to clarify, this sata controller card did not need any specific setup at all. Just put it in, plug in sata cable (I use akasa sata3-rated), maybe change boot device in BIOS (I didn't even have to), done - booting Windows as usual.

Speed is much better than before with nvidia chipset 750a SLI controller: sata1 (sata2 whenever it randomly worked):

Final thoughts:
Well, I am happy with the SSD speed now (PCIe limited to 5Gbps). However, I had to spent quite some time to get it working on my sata2-cabable mainboard. Finally, I had to buy a extra controller card to get it working reliably at speeds faster than sata1. There is hardly any useful information on why this problem occurs with (older) nvidia chipsets and OCZ (sata3) SSDs. I still think that OCZ must know about this problem, but regards this issue as low priority, while at the same time not planning on giving up on sales to people with nvidia chipsets. Maybe OCZ should just make a big sticker on the box the drives come in with something like "Does/Might not work with nvidia chipsets, please use third-party sata controller card or different SSD manufacturer". But then none of these potential customers would buy OCZ SSDs...
I will keep the sata3 controller, anyway handy to have, but return the OCZ Vertex 3 120GB and replace it with a SSD from a different manufacturer (Corsair Force GT, Patriot and OWC are not that great to get around here). The benchmarks for most people will not achieve the maximum advertised OCZ speeds anyway, so why not go with a brand that allows for some plug'n'play with some customer support.
Hope this post helps others like me with their nvidia chipset + sata1 speed problem
Cheers, Mike

Slow speeds/disconnections in Coventry area (02476...

For past 4 days I've been getting slow speeds and disconnections.
Phoned support got through to India (waste of time), and was told to ring back tomorrow because they had so many problems.
Anyone else in Coventry area having probs?
Luckily I am nearing the end of my contract so I think I will be off soon.
cheers,
Robin

Yes still have disconnection problems although not as bad now.
The last time I got disconnected the hub was showing a steady orange b.
I have had broadband since early days so I have the filtered face plate.
An engineer has been out to rewire the main phone socket and fit a new filtered face plate.
He tested the line and didnt find any faults with it.
I have had two disconnections since then.
I called India who gave me the number of the network support team and a pin number.
I havent rung yet because the connection is working.
My neighbour who is with a different ISP is having similar problems so I dont know if there is a problem at the exchange.
We are both on the Binley exchange.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
