Incredibly low speeds, assistance needed

My broadband has been incredibly slow for the last week and it's becoming more than an annoyance now.
Simple Web pages like Facebook, Google, youtube and email take minutes to open, old dial up style. I'm posting this from my phone as the forum just doesn't load.
I have a wired connection to my PC but slow speed is affecting all devices, phones which are connected through wiFi and laptops/consoles which are also wired.
Gaming doesn't seem to be being affected still running normally.
BT performance test on wired connection.
1st test
Down: 3.88
up: 0.99
ping: 39
2nd test re run
Down: 8.06
UP: 0.97
Ping: 45
Any help would be appreciated as I'm pretty stiuk on what to do or if there even is anything I can do.
Thanks Nick

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?
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

  • Incredibly low speeds, ongoing for numerous years.

    Have had countless problems with BT from line being installed a month late to being put on wrong exchange and at my previous address where speed was also the issue had around 10 engineers over a 4 year period.
    The issue after a house move in August is exactly the same. The speed, I see most people complaining onother threads about what i would consider an amazing DL speed (2MB), our actual DL speed is around 40-100KBPS, and speed tests run at around 0.4MB, with 3 avid gamers in the house and numerous downloads a day going on. I thought posting on here may help as get some progress on line speed increase as surely this is not the maximum attainable by any BROADBAND connection, dial-up speeds were advertised higher than the connection we are getting at the moment, now i know most will say move closer to an exchange or something unhelpful but looking for any sort of help i can gear, here are stats from home hub:

  • High speed and Low Speed CAN

    Hi
    This is my first time to use CAN.
    I have LabVIEW  2010 and  LabVIEW FPGA
    I have NI 3110 Dual-Core Industrial Controller with Windows OS, NI 9157, NI 9852 CAN Low Speed Module and NI 9853 CAN High Speed Module to be used to monitor the CAN messages from an ECU unit.
    The connection is done as the following:
    ·         The High speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9853 (Port 0)
    ·         The low speed CAN is connected to the NI-CAN 9852 (Port 0)
    ·         The baud rate of the 9853 is 500kbps
    ·         The baud rate of the 9852 is 50kbps
    ·         Both modules are set to “Listen Only”
    ·         “Module Clock” in both modules is set to 20MHz
    ·         CAN networks are 29-bit and 11-bit.
    My consideration is to read all the messages from both modules without losing any message. Below is a picture from the block diagram on the FPGA target, is this the best way to read CAN messages from both modules? Also, could you please suggest what is the best way to read the messages on Host vi?
    Unfortunately, I do not have the module right now to do some test, so that I cannot get the iteration time (“CAN Low Speed Loop” and “CAN High Speed Loop” show in the picture below), could you please tell how to calculate the iteration time needed for each loop depending on the above information.

    The way that you have proposed to use the CAN module to monitor the BUS is a bad idea.  We have a prebuilt driver that will do most of this work for you.  You will need to download and install the NI-CAN 2.7.3 and then you will be able to use the example finder.  In the example finder look for.
    The example finder is accessed through the Help menu.

  • Low speed

    Have very low speed - 0.225 mbs, download. On signing up I was told I will be receiving minimum of 8mbs, average of 15mbs and a maximum of 19mbs. Besides being passed from pillar to post as no-one understands why the broadband is so low I have just been informed that the maximum I can get is now 10mbs - quite a big difference? I have also been told I will be charged to have the phone line looked at even though it was only installed by BT two months previously so I will be paying twice. Is this right? I have been lied to, called a liar, transferred to every department within BT. Each member of staff has told me they can't help that I need to be transferred to a different department so after five hours on the phone I am still at square one! This has been going on for two months. Oh I was also told I would receive compensation for not receiving a service but apparently I'm suddenly not eligible for this. I can get faster broadband (more than 10mbs) for cheaper elsewhere. BT have broken the contract by not supplying me with the service that they promised. BT staff don't seem to know much as they can't even agree on the rate of broadband I should be receiving. This is not to mention how rude they have all been towards me. I am thankful that everything is recorded as this proves that I am not at fault and there are obviously training issues that need to be addressed within all departments in the company. Has anyone else had the same experience? Can any moderators respond? 

    Hello, thanks for your response.
    I can assure you that i have tried absolutely everything including replacement router, filters etc.
    The line was only installed on the 14th April, and BT only guarantee their work for a month! I paid £130 to have a line installed...
    They have admitted there is a fault in the line, but even after 6 hours of diagnostic tests still cant find the problem. These tests werent all carried out today but over the past 2 months yet they still didn't send another engineer round to check the line had been installed correctly. I was only offered this option once the "28 day" warranty on the line had expired hence I was expected to pay for it. If this information is incorrect, i have been lied to by the Technical team at BT once again.
    The end result after approx 6 hours on the phone today was that i demanded a full refund for the past 2 months of broadband that i was paying for but not receiving, which was granted after a struggle, and a cancellation of the contract due to BT breaching the contract on at least 2 counts. The first being that i was lied to by the initial sales advisor about the speed of the internet connection i was to expect and BT could not honour this and the second due to paying for a service that i was not receiving. I still have not resolved the problem with the line itself which needs to be looked at by BT regardless of which isp i decide to go with now.
    I think BT really need to look into the staff they have on the end of the phone as they have been nothing but helpless and i can imagine that they have lost BT 1000's of customers due to their lack of knowledge or training.

  • Incredibly slow speeds

    Hello
     For the second day running I'm experiencing incredibly slow speeds on my option 3 broadband package.
    My Homehub says my downstream is connected at 283kbps, and my upstream at 440kbps. Normally my downstream is 8000kpbs or so
    I spent a very very long time on the phone to BT yesterday, who told me a variety of different things, but nothing that resolved it. 
    Can one of the mods have a look for me please?? I don't know how it'll ever get fixed otherwise!!

    There's something massively wrong here...
    I'm pretty good with figuring out computer things. Of course, I've done all the usual, restarting the hub, swapping the microfilter etc.
    Initially I thought I may have been capped, but the helpdesk told me this wasn't the case. My download rate is exactly 28kb/s, not a kilobyte over or under which would indicate some form of limiter applied...
    I really need the net functioning correctly today and tomorrow, as I'm working from home... obviously BT's timing is perfect
    Hopefully someone from BT will see this and take a look for me?

  • Problem on connertion to sap by program through low speed lan.

    Hi, all
    I need to connet sap system through low speed lan by program(not abap)...The program is PowerBuilder, is there any parameter I could use to setting waiting time?
    Just like the code page setting parameters:
    SapConnection.Code_Page = '8400'
    Thank you very much.

    Hi
    How will your real time scenario be? Its better if we simulate that
    you must estimate like this
    a. No of invoices from SD that may be raised
    b. Any manual postings from FI or other misc postings from MM
    c. Montlly Order settlements to COPA posting variances
    d. Any assessment cycle from CO to COPA for marketing overheads - estimate the no of segments you will be distributing upon
    Based on this estimate, sit with your basis guy and do the server sizing accordingly.... Use Summarization levels in COPA to improve performance

  • Low Speed connection on SAPGUI setting

    Hi,
    I need to know if I should set the Low Speed connection on SAPGUI setting.
    I've check thru ST06->Detail Analysis Menu-> LAN Check By Ping. Some of the average ping for my user in Asia has ping average of 300-350 ms. People in Europe has the average of 70-80ms.
    1. Should I ask the user in Asia to set the Low Speed connection?
    2. What is the treshold here? When exactly do you need to set this option? Is there any documentation about this?
    /Regards,
    Eida

  • Internet connecting at much lower speed lately

    I have HSI Enhanced and have had it for 10 months at this location and for a number of years at my previous location. Last October I was connecting at 3360 / 832 kbps. After some months it went down to  around 2800 / 832 kpbs. I wasn't crazy about speeds getting lower as time went on rather than the connection being improved, but it was pretty much free of disconnects and reliable so I was happy with it.
    In the past month or so I had noise on my voice line which Verizon fixed, but my connection is now 1792 / 448 Kbps all the time, that is a drop I will not accept if this is the way it is going to be from now on. Also there is a lot of losing the connection, not to the DSL, that light stays on but the internet light goes off. I went through the usual channels online chat, telephone support to wherever that goes. I'm done with all that, that's good for people with trouble using their modem, etc. or can't connect it but not what I am looking for.
    Finally they sent out a tech who was a nice enough person, what he did was call a central office and after them first claiming the lower speed was the right speed they put the connection back in the area of 3360/832. Then they said it will probably adjust itself to down around 2800 down, which it what I had before so I was OK with it. After several days with a number of disconnects (they don't last too long but very annoying) I am back to 1792 / 448.
    I am using the same modem - Actiontec GT704WGB
    I don't need a tech call here in the house again, nothing has changed in here since I moved in months ago. They can check the outside signal without me waiting around for them. They don't have to stand in here to call an office on their tablet.
    I need to hear from Verizon personnel that can tell me LOCAL information about why my connection speed has tanked and why there are dropouts now. And most importantly, why it can't be the same as it was for all those months. As I said, I was happy with that - especially when it was 3360 / 832 kbps.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When Verizon turns your speed back up, they have to disable the optimization system they use on the lines to maintain your speed, since it sounds like that is just turning your speed back down after a few days. Make them fix it back again.
    For future note, if you do have problems with your DSL and you're also having audio quality issues with your phone, call Voice Repair, and leave DSL support out of the mix. DSL support usually dials back the speed for a line issue from what I've seen as a first try basis. If you do have noise that disappears when the DSL modem is off, then that could be from other things which DSL support OR phone support will be needed for.
    Ex: Two years ago I had a problem with my Frontier DSL line having a ton of static on the line. The DSL modem was not synchronizing, however the noise stopped when I shut off the modem. It turns out, the night before lightning struck a tree outside of my home, and caused the DSL modem which was several years old to fry. The modem was still powering up, but the chip responsible for the DSL connection itself was blown. A new modem from Frontier via DSL Support fixed the DSL connection AND the static.
    Ex2: At a local business with Verizon DSL, they hear static on their line from time to time, but only while the DSL is active. The problem was not with the DSL itself or any filters, but as the static got worse it began to show up without the DSL being connected. Voice repair was dispatched instead of calling DSL Support, and resolved the problem by running new cable between the building and the Verizon copper trunk. In addition, they found and corrected some corroding splices.

  • When home sharing songs are transferring at an extremely low speed. why is this happening??

    Hi
    I shared my library with my Husband's library using the same apple id. I then tried to copy songs from that library to mine. But the songs are transferring at a ridiculously low speed. When he copied the songs from my library it did not take as much time. Can you please tell me why this is happening?? Is this a problem with the itunes??

    Hi systemBuilder, you are not alone in your frustration. The problem is the plugin model: plugins are allowed to do much more than they can be trusted to do intelligently. Without a change to that, Firefox cannot stop the Flash player from changing window focus.

  • I Can't Burn a CD any more! and a lower speed does nothing - HELP!

    I have been burning CDs on this machine (imac 10.3.9) the same way for years and years. (7)
    Up till last month.
    This is what I get when I burn a playlist.
    "itunes can not burn this cd because your burn speed is too fast for you cd burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane then try burning again."
    I've tried that - even though that seems silly considering I've had no problems at my current settings until now. The lowest burn speed (1) gives me the same error.
    I'm hating life and my mac right now, something I though I'd never say.
    Anyone?

    If you don't have Nero, check out http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9229334#9229334. I think some people have found a way to get just the Burn Rights program.
    If that doesn't work, some people seem to have luck with editing the registry or messing with filters or gear drivers. Check out this discussion starting with Tytus (he came up with the Nero fix) on March 22:

  • Low speed connection, but still have input history.

    Hi there,
    We have done some tests in our business to see the performance difference between "low speed connection" being enabled and disabled for a system, both from a network perspective, and from a performance perspective on Citrix servers.
    We have determined that the 'input history' feature doesn't cause much performance impact, but a lot of the other 'high-speed' features like images and tool tips do.
    We would like to be able to have "low speed connection" for our system, but still enable 'input history'. Is there any way this can be achieved, such as through INI or registry changes?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    Hello,
    This is my fisrt motion program. I don't understand why the "read per axis status" don't send me the correct status for "run/stop" (only this status) when I run a low speed. The other status are all right. Impultions are still generated (In realyty motor run...)
    I put a simple example to illustrate. Perhaps is it a wrong configuration in MAX but this seems unlikely. I can't join my Max config because ".nce" are not accepted in attached files.

    I realize this is an old post but wanted to post the solution in case others run across it.  The reason the indicator is not working at low speeds is because it operates on a threshold.  The default setting is for it to display false when running under 4000 steps or counts per second.  Refer to KnowledgeBase 4XHD6DZY: Why does my Run/Stop bit not appear active while my motor is running?
