From 500kbps to 200kbps & High ping when someone e...

Hi,
I've been experiencing issues for a few weeks now; as nothing is getting better I'm going to address what's wrong.
I hope you can help me!
When I first moved to a new house my connection was at least 500-600kbps but as of recent (a couple of months later) I've been receiving around 100-200kbps. This is much slower then before and is not the only issue!
Another issue I've noticed whilst playing online games is that when nobody is on the internet I get around 40 ping which is perfect however as soon as someone else in my family uses the internet it goes straight up from 40 ping to, 400 to 600 ping. I've also noticed the ping fluxuates from high to low randomly.
Can you help fix this?
More Information:
I have performed a 'quiet line check' using the "17070" number, option 2. The line was crystal clear (No noise at all).
I can comfirm that the broadband has been on for more than 3 days.
I've ensured that nothing is downloading in the background and all programs that require an internet connection are closed yet the issues still remain.

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Ping when someone opens an Acrobat document

    Hi.
    I often need to share sensitive documents where I only want the recipient to receive it. It's human nature to forward files though, and people send off my documents to others. Password protection is not good enough as passwords can be forwarded along with the document.
    Is it possible to have a feature where when someone opens a file, I get an email with their IP address and the time of opening?
    Or is there some other kind of copy protection, but not as cumbersome as asking for being tied to a CPU and all that DRM jazz?
    Thanks!

    You might check the Acrobat Scripting Forum
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?13@@.3bbedaa6
    Of course, even if it IS possible to write a script that will automatically invoke the user's email program, I doubt that you will be able to actually make it SEND the message without the user clicking on the send button in the program
    Sending an email without the user knowing is going to be seen as a virus (trojan? whatever the correct term) by the OS and any security software the user has, and will be blocked and reported... and could get you in a LOT of trouble with your Internet provider

  • Very Slow Internet + High Ping

    I am on a Sager laptop running Windows 7 and using an Airport Extreme Base Station as my router. I don't know how the router is set up or even how to access the router from my computer. My roommate set up the internet before I moved in. I have already contacted my internet provider and they believe my slow service + extremely high pings when I try to play any online game are a result of my router.
    I am just looking for a way to correct my issue. I would also like to know how I can even access my router from my computer. Thanks.

    +Is there any way for the owner of the device to limit the amount of bandwidth I am receiving??+
    No.
    +but I really don't understand why my internet is so crummy.+
    Interference from other wireless networks or cordless phones is usually the cause of issues like this. If you have a cordless phone there, turn it off for an hour or so to see if things improve. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about a neighbor's cordless phone causing problems or another wireless network.
    +If I could access the utility what would you suggest I check?+
    You can access AirPort Utility by going to the Downloads link on the main forum page. But, you won't be able to access any of the settings on the AirPort Extreme unless you have the device password, which is different than the wireless password. The first thing to do is try different channel settings for the wireless to see if you can find some clear airspace.

    How to prevent the canon from 6D climbing to higher ISOs when it works in automatic mode?
    I was shooting at a basketball game at ground level and I left it in automatic mode because the moves were too fast, but when I passed to Lightroom, the photos were grainy, due to high ISO.

    Under the settings menu (third menu over), select ISO settings, and then set the Auto ISO limits for max to whatever you consider the maximum acceptable ISO.

  • Time Capsule high latency (ping) when using WDS

    Hi!
    I have this WDS configuration.
    An Airport Extreme 802.11g connected to my cable modem as WDS main
    A Time Capsule as WDS remote.
    Both are using channel 1 with WPA/WPA2 Personal.
    I can access the Internet. Printers and AirTunes work fine. But I have some high latency when pinging the ISP modem on 10.0.0.1 from any device connected through the Time Capsule.
    More specifically when I am connected to Airport Extreme 802.11g the ping looks fine: within 1-10 ms. Both if I am directly connected to the Extreme with a cable or wireless.
    BUT when I am on Time capsule (both wired or wireless) my latency time looks very awkward ranging from 1 to 1500 ms.

    All packets get there but they are terribly delayed causing bad communication while using Skype or SIP telephone from my laptop and imac when connected through the Time Machine.
    I have tried to change the multicast rate on both of them but with no success... still bad latency
    Do you have any suggestion?

    I have found the solution.
    I post it here so it might help someone.
    The issue is: even if you are in WDS don't use the WAN port in the Time Capsule.
    Leave that one empty and use the other 3 LAN ports... and it will make your Time Capsule work perfectly!
    The weird ping result in my previous msg were produced by a computer connected into the WAN port on my TM set into WDS. The port works and behave as a LAN port actually but it's not working properly. Avoid using it!

  • When someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email, only a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?

    when someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email in my inbox, only as a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?  I do not use imessage at all.

    This is not something on your end.  If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
    THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
    Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
    If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message.

  • When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

    When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

    Hi Glenyse,
    Here are my steps.
    1.  I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
    2.  I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
    3.  I enter the recipient's email address.
    4.  The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
    5.  The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
    6.  The image opens up to its own screen.
    7.  The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
    Here is the part I do not understand.  For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name.  So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
    Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

  • When someone messages you from their iPhone or iPad, you receive the message to your iPhone (or iPad) but you don't know whether it is from their iPhone or iPad because all your iPhone sees is one contact. That needs to be updated.

    When someone messages you from their iPhone or iPad you receive the message to your iPhone or iPad but you don't know whether it is from their iPhone or their iPad. That needs to be updated.

    Why does it matter?
    It's the person who sent the message that is important, not which particular device they used to send it, surely?
    When someone calls you from their home landland, is it necessary to know whether they're calling you from the phone in the kitchen, or the one in the bedroom?

  • Extremely high ping on lan, when aother wireless user uploads video

  • I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings.  One number is checked(mine) and the other is not(my sons).  However when someone sends me a text it goes to both mine and my sons iphones.  How do i delete his number from my phone.

    I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings.  One number is checked(mine) and other is not(my sons).  However when someone sends me a test it goes to both numbers.  Mine and my sons.  How do I delete his number so that he no longer received texts intended for me.

    The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

  • Having really high pings, packet loss and been on ...

    Hi. I've been on to BT 4-5 times in the last few weeks. Everytime its the same thing I do all their checks and run the speed test. Its the same thing over and over. When i try to explain to them the problems i,m having they said your speed is within the acceptable range. I,m at a loss with dealing with BT. The customer server is terrible.
    Basically the problems i,m having is really high pings. Even doing the BTwholesale speedtest my pings was usally in the 30ms range now they are 70 on average now. I play alot of online games. And Everything is unplayable. I know there is definitely something wrong. Either with the routing or some of the nodes on bt.
    Today I was trying to play Diablo 3, the lag spikes was huge every 2-3 seconds jumping to 1-2k ms latency. I ran some winMTR tests and i,m having alot of packet loss. I tried to explain that to BT on the phone. But its like the dont have a clue what i,m talking about or wont attempt to help me with the issue. All game companies usally tell me ISPs are always willing to help with these problems. But BT seem to refuse to help with latency ping issues, just your speed is fine etc .
    I,ve also noticed people in the BT forums saying something about G.INP and people needing HH5 Type B. Can someone explain to me what this is or if its something happening to my cabinate. I,m using the BT HH5 type A. From what i see the about the G.INP sounds like the issues i,m currently facing.
    Can some Mod please help me. I,m really losing hope with BT.

    Hi Guys.
    Still facing these issues. Is BT not going to do anything about it? Here is a WinMTR test to a game server i,m playing.

    217.41.216.109 seems to be an issue with this. Getting packet loss of 7% and the the ping shoots up to almost 400 while the average is around 30.
    I,ve tried everything BT have told me, i've phoned loads and loads of times to seek help. I dont know what else to do. Pings and latency is horrible. And i dont just mean little lag. Every online game is unplayable. Webpage loading slowing or broken images .

  • High ping on Valve servers

    Hi,
    Over the past month or so, ive noticed im getting a ping of over 200 on Valve servers on Team Fortess 2. For the past 2 weeks, it seemed to had settled down a little to about 70 ping, which i can play on but now its back to 200+. After starting a steam forum thread about this, i soo realised that everyone that has the problem is on BT infinity. One guy added me and we discussed what we was on and what problems we were getting and they were identical. BT Homehub 4, high ping only on Valve servers
    Ive reset my connection in a million different ways suggested by different people and none of that did anything. From a few searches, some people fixed the issue by getting mods to change their latency type from Interleaved to Fast, but i dont know what im on so i cant tell if thats the issue.

    Any help?

    Just got off the phone with someone from BT trying to convince me its an issue either my end or Valve's end (Even though it happens on non valve games also). Valve have told me its my ISP, which i am 100% certain it is, and she is just telling me to reset my router just once more.
    Hope the forum can save me here
