I've definitely 'lost' 4 to 5mb download speed.

I regularly do a DL speed test using the BT Performance link. Since I signed up for Infinity 2 about 12 months ago, this has returned speeds of 58mb but averaged 54 to 56mb.
The last two weekends, I done the same speed test on Sat and Sun mornings and my speed is down to 49.5mb. Im IT literate so am familiar withdifferent servers, LAN cable, BT socket box and extension etc so its nothing my end.
Ive read on here that BT cabinets are configured to deliver upto 80mb DL speed for upto 200 connections. This is clearly cr@p. Why are we told such rubbish by BT and why dont they deliver?

And 4-5 Mb is really life threatening.
You will hit the "It's within estimate" if you wished to take this further.
Speeds will fluctuate and 4-5Mb is not that bad, As an IT Literate person you should know that any speed test from any site is dependant on:- server load at the time, routing through the network at the time etc, testing at weekends when servers, etc are at their busiest is not exactly conclusive.

Stuck at max 0.5mbs download speed

For the past 2 weeks I have been unable to wxceed 0.5mbs download when for many years I had speeds ranging between 4mbs and 7mbs.
An engineer hsa been recently and tested the line all the way back to the exchange - OK
To eliminate internal problems I have tried the router directly into the test switch of the master socket - still 0.5.
I have just run speedtester and was concerned at the result:

Very slow speeds i.e. 1.5mb download in Red Lodge,...

The broadband speed in Red lodge (exchange is Kentford, Exchange code:EAKEN) is terrible. Regularly SpeedTest results in 1.5mb download speeds. There have been hundreds of houses built but no upgrades to the exchange to bring Red Lodge into 21st century?
Any idea when the exchange will be upgraded or get fibre?

if as jac_95 said you want help from the forum then please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
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?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Poor Download speeds in the evening, What can be d...

Hi All,
This question has probably been answered a million times so my apologys if it has. I tried downloading something last night and my download speeds were absolutely **bleep**, something like 4.3kbs a second!!!!!!
Now am I right in thinking that this is BT's stupid throttling occuring to me. In the day I get awesome speeds and have no issues at all.
On Sky BB I never had any issues at anytime and got around 6.5mb download speeds and my sync speed was 7.5mb. I ran a speed test last night and was getting the speed quoted what I pay for!? Can someone help me with this!?
Thanks
Steve

I take it your talking about P2P/torrents, heavily traffic managed by BT.

You can type p2p or torrents into the search box to find plenty of posts on this.

BT Infinity Download speed

Just thought I would share some good info. I have the 40mb package, moved over from Virgin last week, normally I get between 36 & 38.5Mbs download speed. This morning connected to Giganews via their VPN and getting between 70 & 75Mbs. So far I am very satisfied with the service I am getting.

What is your speed after a test with the BT tester? I would think that is more accurate, Giganews is like P2P yes?

sky twitter account a customer ask why sky go streams are worst then sd and yet bt and eurosports apps stream in hd. Reply from mod, oh thats easy the files for hd are some huge that sky go can't play them and no app can stream hd due to this and so when they say they are they're really sd streams, if there was any way around this we would have done it now.

Download speed drop

The issue i have been having is that after a day or so my download speeds for my internet are crap. I get 10mb download speeds and when i check it after a day or so its only around 2.5mb. At first i thought it was just my internet but then i started rebooting the router and checked my speeds after i rebooted the router and bam it was back up to 10mb download speed. So i thought maybe it was just a flook so the next time it happened. I tested the speeds just before i rebooted the router and it was running about 2.5mb download speed and right after i rebooted the router it went back up to 10mb download speed.
Is there a setting i am missing in the router that i need to check off or somthing?
I have a linksys Wireless -N broadband Router WRT160N

Did you enable "logging" in the router? If so, turn it off and see if that corrects your problem.
Are you running P2P (peer-to-peer) software? If so, this is a known cause for router slow downs and disconnections. Stop the P2P and reboot router. It may take up to a week for the router to completely clear all the P2P junk out of its memory, and return to normal.
If the above is not your problem, then
1) Please state your ISP
2) Please state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the WRT160N).
3) Please do the following test:
Power down your entire network. Using an ethernet cable, connect your modem directly to your computer. (Do not use the WRT160N for this test.) Power up the modem and computer. Verify that you have a working Internet connection, then proceed with the following: (Even if your Internet connection does not work, state this, and proceed.)
Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig /all" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Copy all the results to your next post. To do the copy, highlight the results, then use the copy (Ctrl-c) keys and the paste (Ctrl-v) keys. If your "IP address" does not start with 192.168 , then for security reasons, erase the last half of your IP address.
Kudos! Thanks!

Maybe your firewall or security software are preventing the download from finishing. You could try disabling them until you finish the download

If your back up was successful, then just resync. The books are there. If they are not, simply go back to the bookstore and redownload them for free.

2 hrs & 1.8GB lost as illust CC download crashes. Anyone else have problems with this? (It was completely downloaded & just about to install and then it dropped out)

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't work...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

I lost half my pictures downloading them to my pc, are they gone forever?

i lost half my pictures downloading them to my pc, are they gone forever?

What do you think you did to lose half of your photos?
Do you think you hit delete? Did you misplace them? Did your phone or PC malfunction?
Did you check in your Photo Galary on your phone?
Did you do a search on your pc for all "pics" files?

Checked download speed on 'speakeasy', over 5mbs, but site open too slow

certain web sites like WGT.com open very slow, even when my download speed is at 5mb/s or faster. Why is this?

Paul,

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I've definitely 'lost' 4 to 5mb download speed.
