Lots of disconnections and awful download speeds

I have recently in the past week or so having really annoying internet disconnections. Just now I got 4 disconnections in 5 minutes which meant I really needed to do something about it.

I did another noise test and it was completely quiet today. My connection is still awful. I am getting 0.8mbps when I used to get around 6-7mbps 2 weeks ago. I am very close to my exchange so distance is not the issue.

Disconnects and Low download speed

We've had BT Broadband for over 10 years. We had a few problems at the start and had to stop using any of the telephone extensions when it was installed to get it working. Since then we've invested in numerous filters in an attempt to cure connection drops and bought an i-plate when the speed was suffering. Every so often, I get fed up with the time it takes me to deal with connection drops and ring the call centre. They are very sweet but all I get is a temporary solution at best and then it all goes poof again.
For the last year or two so resetting everything and waiting hasn't always been good enough to get a connection again. By accident, I found that if I made a telephone call, the broadband would come back again without me having to reset. This proved an expensive option until I discovered the quiet line test (for which I thank the helpful members here lol). My trouble is that its taking quite a long phone call to get the connection going now and it used to be worse when it rained but its now as bad if its sunny.
A possibly related issue is that our download speed has declined enormously over the years. I've not been able to watch the iPlayer since last year sometime and even YouTube pauses for ages every 10 seconds. i've had two Openreach engineers out recently and there is another fault report in progress atm. The trouble is, they don't seem to have made much difference so I'm despairing at the thought of another fruitless visit now.

I've been reading about resistance faults and wondered if our ancient telephone lines round here could be causing one? We're still on overhead lines I'm afraid and nearly 2km from the Batley exchange.

Just a quick update this morning. I emailed the mods yesterday so I have hopes.
On the 'normal route' side, the phone call from BT techies that the call centre booked me in for between 8am and 10am didn't happen and there was nothing updated on the online fault progress report since the call centre folk updated it yesterday. I rang the call centre again to tell them it hadn't happened so they are in the loop and its been escalated again. Had to go through their standard script etc but, hey, I'm reconciled...

The noise margin has changed (it was 6 dB when I looked at it first thing this morning in preparation for my phone call so I presume someone has adjusted it? The speed test is coming up with the same figures as before and I can't post it because I forgot to copy it and now I'm getting apache errors.

BT Internet keeps disconnecting and has low speeds

I have been having problems with BT since a week after I switched from talktalk but I've only started taking action now.
First of all I have contacted BT asking for help and they brought an engineer round which fitted a new phone socket however this did not help at all, so I contacted them again saying that it may be on their end, I got a reply email saying that they have reset my broadband line and that I should see an improvement which I did but only in the download speed.
I use my upload speed to live stream so I emailed again asking if they can do what they did for my download to my upload, I got a reply that said
"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 7 days."
So I waited for 2days then I noticed that my download speed had decreased from 11mbps back down to 1-2mpbs overnight and that my upload had increased from 0.3 to 1mbps. Then slowly throughout the course of the day my upload decreased from 1mbps back to it's initial 0.3. I'm not sure what the noise margin is but I was monitoring my Internet and as the noise margin increased the speeds decreased.

Along side this issue I have another, most of the time when my house phone rings my Internet disconnects also there is a crackling sound on my phone line and the only solution that I have found to stop the crackling is to take the adsl wire out of my router which you can tell is very annoying.

Awful download speeds after upgrade to OS X Lion

Good evening all Mac-users!
I have searched the forum for an answer but as far as I can see the only problem that's in common with mine occurs on iPad's. However, I have a MacBook that I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, everything works fine except one thing, the download speeds.
After the installation of Lion my download speeds (from everything, torrents, ipsw's, music etc) is around 1/50 of it's original speed. It's not the network cause other computers that's connected to the same network works without problem.
What could it be? Does Lion have a firewall or something that block the downloads?
Thank you in advance everyone!

Sorry about that. I misunderstood the notation "~/Library" to mean the Library at the root of the hard drive. There is indeed an iWeb Domain in "Users/Trixi/Library/Application Support/iWeb". The iWeb Domain appears to be intact being 175MB. It shows a status of Last Opened/Modified: Today @ 10:47 which is when all this started.
However, nothing else had changed from my original post - iWeb did not function. All its menu choices were greyed out. When I selected "Hide Others" all open windows disappeared and iWeb was active but with no window at all.
As you pointed out, I was misreading folder locations. So, while writing this reply, I thought I'd double check another action I'd tried. It was posted by kt4ever under "iWeb and Lion problems" here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3233238
and - it worked! My Domain is back, just as I'd left it. I only performed the following subset though:
Go to Users/home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist and drag file to trash.
Also delete com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile.
Empty trash.
Open iweb.

V04 and maximum download speed - how do BT get awa...

I have been a BT Vision customer for only 1 week and all seemed well at first.
I moved to where I now live on the 1st November and my Total Broadband service was implemented on that date (I have had Total Broadband for many years at my previous address).
Today I have the dreaded "V04" message and a line sped check reveals a download speed of only 1230 kbps (with an apparent line maximum of 2000 kbps). What the heck is that about? Is this the 21st century or not?
I live in the middle of a state of the art city development literally next door to the new MediaCity in Manchester (soon to be home to the BBC) so I would have expected line speeds here to be as high as you could have got ANYWHERE
In addition, how does BT justify selling a product they must KNOW (based on the maximum line speed figure the speed test has thrown up) will not be useable
If there really are BT people on this forum, I would love some answers and not from someone in a Mumbai call centre who, whilst trying their best, is really just going through the scripted responses
Another day like this and frankly, BT can shove their box up their nearest junction box!

I take it from your post that On Demand was working?
If so and your line speed has now dropped then you need to report a line fault.

Very high Latency and inconsistent download speeds

Hi all,
This is my first time on these forums and hopefully i can find some help for my horrible problem.
For the last 2-3 weeks my latency has consistently been 200+, i like to play online games alot and i cant with this latency. I have gone threw the whole drill of ringing BT and following there advice and i even had a BT engineer come out and he couldnt' find any problems. BT said they checked my line and couldn't find anything wrong, and the engineer didn't find any problems with the router (black).
I also have changed all of the wiring from the socket in the wall, which leads to the router, which leaders to a modem (i think its called that) that then connects me to the internet (Cable).
I am running out of patience as i spend alot of time on games such as Call of Duty and seeing my mates play it as i have 300+ ping is really annoying.
I Have noticed that the other computer my parents use also have the same high latency issue and they have tried it on cable and wireless with the same bad results. I have a program called xfire which shows my ping for all the servers on my list and there all 200+ but sometimes when i test my speeds on speedtest.net it shows me with 50 ping i believe this is due to the large spikes that i get, when im on call of duty it constantly jumps around 100, 150, 200 and sometimes even 50.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Josh.
Also im not very good with computers so if anyone would like any figures or whatever just point me to the website and ill try and get them for you.
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1133172089.png
This looks ok but on xfire all the servers are at 300+ and when i go ingame there just as high.

I've extended my Time Capsule wifi via Airport Express and the download speed is still super slow

I get an average of 80Mbps download speed when close to the Time Capsule. When I got upstairs in the house the download speed drastically drops. So I decided to extend the wifi range using an Airport Express. See image below. I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?

I've placed the Express router upstairs in the house and when I stand close to the Express I get a very slow download speed. About 7Mbps. Even slower than when I hadn't "extended" the range. What's going on...?
Well, the first rule that you need to remember is that when you "extend" using wireless.....you will have a drop in the potential speed on the network. So, while you might have more "range" for the network, the network speed will drop. Nothing that you can really do about that other than connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Express using a wired Ethernet connection. There will be no speed loss over the Ethernet cable, so the Express should deliver approximately the same speed as the Time Capsule.
The next rule is that when a device "extends" using wireless, it can only extend the quality and speed of the signal that it receives. A speed "boost" will not appear.
Try locating the Express about half way between the Time Capsule and the area that needs more wireless coverage. Anything that you can do to minimize obstructions between the Time Capsule and Express and on to the other area will help.....but you will never get close to the performance of connecting the AirPorts using an wired Ethernet cable.
Unfortunately, Apple really doesn't tell you very clearly, if at all, about important things like the two rules above.

BT Infinity and weird download speeds

Greetings!
This is the first time I've been with BT, I always had virgin media then when I moved out I was forced to go with Sky for my broadband which they could only manage 3-4mb. I've recently had BT infinity installed (3-4 weeks now) and I'm not sure what to make of it.
Although Sky's download speed was lower, I seemed to get more out of it. In the way of I can see on speedtest.net and speedtester.bt that my ping is low (15ms) and my speed is often between 30-35mb (funnily enough tonight it's sitting at 25mb) however p2p traffic is slow (yes I know it's throttled) but even over Internet explorer it's slow. If I was download a file, say a windows update or a patch for a game with sky I would get a constant 1-2mb download speed with bt it never goes over 200-300kb. Surely this can't be normal?
I may give BT a ring but due to work hours it'll most likely be on the weekend now. Just seems strange that everything points to a decent download speed but when it actually comes to downloading it's pretty slow.
Thanks in advance for any tips/help/suggestions.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. At present I have my laptop done over wireless using a b/g/n/ adapter. To be honest I have yet to try and connect my laptop directly to the router as this kinda defeats the point? I'm assuming you're thinking along the lines of I should get faster download speeds over a wired connection, which i agree with. But, surely 300kb is still low on a 40mb connection?
I'm in work at the moment so can't check out the test results. But will post them later.
Thanks,

RDP traffic and upload/download speeds?

I would monitor your bandwidth at both edge devices.
RDP in my experience is typically more latency sensitive than bandwidth sensitive.
Most Internet providers will push you more bandwidth but that will not help the time it takes the data to get back and fourth.
If you are maxing you connection out in Houston than more bandwidth may be something to consider. Also depending on the cost of the Internet service upgrade.
You may also look into filtering unwanted traffic from the Houston office. Such as Youtube or recently I found a receptionist watching Hulu.

I'm having a difficult time understanding how upload/download speeds factor into RDP session speed. I have a company in Houston that hosts an RDS server that has a remote app that uses a local SQL server to get data from. We have a remote office in Dubai that accesses the RDS server to use this SQL app.
In Houston we have 20/20 fiber. In Dubai they have 100/28 cable. The Dubai office complains about speed. The Houston office is thinking of upgrading to 40/40 connection. Will that help Dubai's user experience?

Awful download speeds for files through skype

This has been going on for about 2 days now and it's getting more and more frustrating. I have used skype for years with no issues and NOW all of a sudden, i have issues. My problem is that i cannot download any file a friend sends me, but i am able to send them files just fine.
A 28MB file from a friends takes 18~ hours to download, my internet speeds are fine. 100 up 50 down so this doesnt make any sense to me. Not only does this happen to me on my desktop, it happens to me on my phone as well.
What can i do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, firewall on/off. Restarted my route rmultiple times. Only skype is getting this issue, i can download any file from anywhere just fine. So is it me? or Skype?

I've had the same issue with Oracle-hosted downloads lately. I've also heard stories from others in my office that they've been having similar problems for many months now.
The story is always the same: download speed starts out great, then tapers off to a few kB/second. Eventually, the connection is dropped, and the user is left with an incomplete / corrupt download.
Some have suggested that it's network related, as they have problems downloading from the office (which has multiple T1's), but no issues downloading the same file from home (basic home broadband setups).
If you're willing to be patient, a good download manager program (preferably one with resumable download support) can help you trudge through the problem. I ended up using Free Download Manager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org) and letting my downloads run over a weekend, but there are many alternatives out there as well (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_download_managers).

Awful download speeds

For the last few weeks, I've ben trying to download Oracle 10gXE Universal, but the download speeds, to put it very mildly, are horrible. It starts out at ~200+ kb/s, and within a 3-4 minutes slows to less than 10 kb/s. What is going on? I also tried looking up oracle edelivery, but it's all the same there as well. Can anybody suggest an alternative., please. I really need the software. I've tried using IE7, Firerfox 3 & 4, as well as Google Chrome, to no effect whatsoever. Pleas help.

Low bandwidth and slow download speeds

On a normal day, our router (a BT HomeHub 1.5) reports about 1700 kbps downstream bandwidth, and downloads at around 100-180 kBps from most websites. On Saturday, after it reset itself several times repeatedly, the downstream bandwidth dropped to about 400kbps, and download speeds dropped to 20-30 kBps. I did the usual of resetting the router (power off, wait 30 seconds, power on), with no effect.
After about an hour of these speeds with no change, I gave the BT hotline a call. We did the usual checks (plugged into the master socket, all phones in the house passing through filters, line attenuator/accelerator attached to the master socket) and then she did a line test and couldn't find any faults. I have since also done a quiet line test (17070, option 2) and couldn't hear any significant static.
I was advised to leave the router on for 24 hours without resetting it so the line could be reprofiled. The router managed to reset itself overnight for Sunday morning, but has now been on for over a day, with no change in connection quality. We've done reprofiling once or twice before, and generally it fixes itself in a few hours.
Today, I ran btspeedtester and checked the ADSL Line Details page of the router. You can see the results at the bottom.
So, is there anything I'm missing on checking (I find it highly unlikely that 'leaving it alone' for 3/5/10 days is going to do anything other than waste my time; see almost every other speed problem topic in the last few weeks to notice that there is a trend of problems not fixing themselves if you just wait ), or should I go ahead and send in a customer support request for the mods here?

My Take on the Reception and Slow Download Speed Issue

I seriously believe that the reception problems are a result of something that AT&T has done... Here's why. I started having issues with reception variation and very slow download performance BEFORE the release of iPhone 4 or iOS4. I went to AT&T and got a new SIM. No improvement. I complained at the Apple Store about the variable reception, and the fact that when downloading, the phone got extremely hot to the touch. Because I have been a good Apple customer, the Genius replaced the phone. No improvement. I only upgraded to iOS4 after getting the refurbed "new" phone-- the new OS hasn't really done anything for me other than shorten my battery life..... I am getting pretty tired of sitting in one physical spot, and watching my signal strength go from 5-bars 3G to 1-bar EDGE to "no service" in the span of a few minutes.... Somebody had better do something about this issue, or it's back to Sprint with the new HTC Evo 4G..... Never had reception issues with them!!

It could be a bit of a design flaw but it could also be affected by iOS4.. any phone with an ariel when hold against skin makes the signal drop period! The only reason its more news worthy is because its actully part of the case.
It certainly does need fixing but a software update could help improve it for both iphone 4 and 3G/3GS. Ive heard the older models have been suffering this too.
The reception issue didnt really bother me that much I hold it naturally in my right hand and I dont get a signal issue mainly because I noticed my finger doesnt make contact with the space between the two antennas but then if I apply a finger over the space seprating the antennas the signal does indeed drop its like the two seperated antennas cancel eachother out.
But I know having to buy a case is a bit stupid when it should work without it but for a phone that cost 500-600 why the **** wouldnt you want to protect it?
Personally I love the phone the camera is awesome especially the quality of the front facing camera it looks amazing as good as the 3 mega pixel camera on the 3GS.
The best thing though is definatly the retina display, it looks beautiful. The main thing I liked about the screen tho wasnt the shapeness and quality but the fact that I found it hard to tell the difference between the black colour of the case and the blackness of the screen especially when watching a video with the black bars on the sides of the video,the contrast ratio alone is pretty epic.
