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,
dfenceman

  • Please explain my slow speed

    I live in a village in North Wales where under the Super fast Wales scheme my exchange and cab are enabled. A house at the bottom of my lane has a BT wholesale  speed of 57.
    I live up the lane 0.25 of a mile away and I show as fttc with a speed of 2.8 how 1.2 low
    BT have hinted the cable needs replacing but Super Fast have the funding so they are washing their hands of it.
    Super Fast are saying its distance and I will need new technology and they are looking into this. They appear to insist that I am not connected and its the cable length that results in the slow speed. They are refusing to acknowledge the fact that BT shows me as connected will not explain why the difference from houses very close by.
    Can someone explain why my speeds are so low and what I can do. I am a home worker so not sure how long I can go on with speeds of less than 1.0

    Unfortunately you can not really compare your connection with a neighbours. they use different lines and may be connected to a different cabinet. The quality of the lines also may differ as well as the distance to the cabinet.
    Can you run this checker and post back a screen shot of the results
    http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome
    and use this speed tester then carry out the further diagnostics and post back a screen shot of all the results including your IP profile for up and down. This test must be done with a wired connection.

  • Re: Slow Speeds, Please stop us from severing our ...

    I currently live in a hamlet approx 3miles from the nearest town and according to Sam Knows.com, approx 4km from the nearest nominated BT Openreach exchange. My current provider Talktalk advise me that it is the length of my line that is the cause of the slow speed, and although fibre will be hitting the exchange in spring 2013, due to me being 4km away will be of no use as BT have chosen to leave copper to the doorstep in place!  My average speed is 0.68mbps (less than 1mb) but as stated in previous posts, I am paying full price as if I was receiving close to 24mbps, and I think this is unacceptable, as it is in nearly all other retail industries so why should ISP's be exempt?? Clearly Talktalk are not to blame, as after all, BT own the lines of most of the UK phones lines, and Talktalk just pay BT.  I have had email correspondance with openreach, and am told it is too expensive for any improvements to be made to the existing line as the population here is so little!  Here I see a multi billion profitable company turning their back on rural britain shame on them.  The old saying, Rome wasn't built in a day, but they got there eventually!  Cutting corners is not the way to go, sewer channels was the way to go according to previous company H20 but that crashed after just 4 years and only served Dundee & Bournemouth, although could of been successful as it is cheaper to lay fibre in that way vs digging up roads.  Sadly, I will soon be cancelling my landline/broadband service as I am fed up of buffering on Video-Audio streaming (even spotify!)
    I am led to believe that the goverment are meant to be funding some improvements, but I am sure broadband is bottom of the priority list! 

    Unfortunately the above posts are true, you allude too BDUK- http://www.culture.gov.uk/what_we_do/telecommunica​tions_and_online/7763.aspx .
     These projects are now being ratified (delayed) by the European Commission. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/5355-are-bduk-p​rojects-really-delayed-by-eu-state-aid-rules.html
    You might be interested in this scheme, I assume you reside in Devon http://www.connectingdevonandsomerset.co.uk/ .
    Also this http://www.broadband-notspot.org.uk/map/devon-broa​dband-notspot.html#8,50.724209,-3.71814,all,2  .
    Its hard to recommend other methods of obtaining broadband as you mention Video and buffering, as usage on other methods is no where near as generous as fixed lines, usage is where the meat is!

  • Slow speed/high SNR margin after upgrade to ADSL2+...

    I have an issue with slow speed that I am suspecting is caused by a high SNR margin (about 12dB) which has come about (I believe) due to the fact that my router was repeatedly reset during the first few days of the upgraded service. The exchange was upgraded to ADSL2+ on 3rd January.
    I have a US Robotics 9108 which has worked fine for nearly six years. I was getting around 8Mbps before the upgrade which isn't far off the theoretical maximum.
    There was a problem with my router and I only found it to be my router at fault over the last few days. Upgrading its firmware has cured the problem which was that requests weren't being fulfilled once connection had been established, (seemingly particularly when this was ADSL2+ or ADSL2 mode). Consequently, I reset my router in these instances and I believe that this will have been interpretted by the exchange as being due to line noise. In general, I disabled ADSL2 and 2+ modes on my router to force it back to G.DMT and it usually worked fine (albeit slow sync rate relative to that I had before 3rd January).
    During fault conditions, the connection synced OK. I recently borrowed a router and tried it and it immediately connected faster than mine had done previously and I could access the web without issue. This confirmed that my US Robotics was at fault, and after downloading its latest firmware, it fixed the problem.
    There is no bell wire as there are no hard wired extensions from the master socket. I use a single filter which plugs directly into the master socket (i.e. no extension lead to the filter).
    I was using a BT filter (MF50) I got in 2004 when I first got broadband. This came with a Voyager 100 modem and is a rebranded YCL one. I have since replaced this with a Z350-UK which I have borrowed. The US Robotics didn't come with any filters.
    With the BT filter, caller display does not work at all when the router is connected in ADSL2 mode. In G.DMT mode the problem with caller display was intermittent. The Z350-UK has rectified the problem with caller display not working when in ADSL2 mode. I have ordered a Pressac Interstitial VDSL Faceplate as a perminant solution.
    Do I need to contact the support helpline to get this fixed? Or will the SNR margin drop over time? As I say, I got around 8Mbps before the upgrade.
    I am presently connected in 2+ mode and stats are:
    SNR margin (dB):
    12.8 
    5.4

    34.0

  • Broadband slow speed,ongoing since end of april

    Hi,i have been suffering slow speeds and dropping out since end of april,i have had 9 engineers out,but still no wiser.
    I use a desk top and laptop and have problems on both,running at 8 meg,cant open web pages,or do internet shopping,engineer blames the websites.
    i am a 2 min walk from the exchange,
    if i take my laptop to my sisters 4 miles away it works fine,and shes only on 2 meg.
    I had an it consultant round who did a ping test from laptop to router,and router to exchange,laptop to router was fine,but the router to exchange keeps timing out 19 times in 5 mins,where as my sisters did it once in 40 mins.
    i have opened a little square bt box from my socket box to the wiring outside,wiring looks in poor condition with wires not actually connected to anything,engineers say that wouldnt affect it,

    Hi Efcpaul
    I can take a look at this for you.
    Send an email to [email protected] with your BT account number, telephone number and a link to this thread.

  • 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!!

    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?

  • Slow speeds. As if from no where.

    Up until about 2 weeks ago i had a perfectly stable connection with never a problem. Lately thats dissapeared and the internets is loading slower than dial up and i simply CANT play games over the net due to lag. Nothing has changed our end and we contacted bt twice now. The first time they said there were problems in our area then they would be fixed on the 24th and they would call us back the same day. 24th came and went. No phone call and no fix. We phoned up on the 25th. they denied having called us then said we had no problem. We had to argue with them to talk to the persons supervisor who then said he would call us back today at 11... And no phone call. AGAIN.
    Please be advised that we were sitting quite happily on 7k Before this happened as we are not far from the nearest depot and never had any problems before. And even doing something as simple as watcing a video on you tube takes 10 mins at least to laod the video. On speedtest . net its showing even lower speeds than shown here.
    Any ideas?
    Also a small note. where it says LAtency :fast. with one person on one computer on Warcraft thats totting in at about 1700 ms.

  • Super Slow speeds and extremely high latency

    This is my last attempt with Verizon high speed DSL (the only service they offer here). I have been dealing with them for months about my slow connection speeds and high latency. Finally, after a new modem, supposed line monitoring and a two tech visits the last tech found noise in the line and fixed some of my issue. Now my speed and pings are good EXCEPT during peak hours (M-F 12 pm -1 pm, 3 pm - 7 pm and Friday and Saturday 7-11 pm). During these times m Internet becomes completely unusable with download speeds of 0.25 MBps and pings over 400 ms and today I had a pint of 1713 ms!!! Clearly there is an issue here.

    Hi schichler,
    Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Before the agent can begin assisting you, they will need to collect further information from you.

  • Slow Speeds in Evening/at Weekends

    Hi,
    I have been having trouble with slow speeds in the evening and at weekends on BT's Option 3 service recently. It varies from 0.5mb to 1mb between 5pm and 10pm. Outside that time window it is always at a reasonable speed(5mb+). The line is very stable and internet never drops unless the router is restarted. What could be the problem?

    I have not long got a BT Whole sale package from Sky(sky connect), whom have been unhelpful will my issue. As the subject says i am experiancing slow speeds and latency. The test results bellow are the best iv had all night was getting 0.01 from speedtest.net most of the night.
    If some one could check my line that would be apreciated.
    and the BT speed test results
     Download speedachieved during the test was - 2072 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :8000 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps

    Hi Diadem, Welcome to the Forums
    Unfortunately, the Sky Connect package is a very traffic managed product and is heavily congested. I'm afraid there is nothing we can do over here at the BT forums regarding throughput problems on Connect as it is a Sky package who deal with BT Wholesale.
    Sorry

  • Slow speeds on new BT Service in comparison with o...

    Hi all
    I would love some help with this problem: I transferred by Sky package over to BT on 5 October and have seen a deterioration in speed since. I have called the Indian call centre several times and today, after I tried out a new BT Home Hub 2 they sent me, I'm at wits' end! The problem, needless to say, is consistently there.
    For the record, I have made sure I've followed your forum's excellent help regarding improving slow speeds. I have ensured all my phone sockets are fitted with working ADSL filters. The Homehub has been moved around the room to several locations, all proving the interference I'm getting is not affected by location at home. My main socket for the hub is fitted with an Accelerator (which did make a slight improvement initially). However, the speeds I was enjoying prior to BT have diminished so far that it seems illogical that the problem exists at my end.
    I have a BT Vision box too which works fine through the Comtrend ethernet / wireless sockets provided by BT. Turning these off has no effect on the speed. I bought a hub phone which works fine too.
    Here are some stats from TBB's speed test. I performed a BT Speed test earlier and the results are consistently similar. I would have posted the BT results, but they reset before I could do so. Time pressures being what they are, I have to leave in a moment so I cannot wait another hour or so to repeat! 16/02/10 was Sky. Again, everything later than 05/10/10 is BT's.

    I am running interleaved ADSL and am a WoW gamer. I'm not sure if this makes much difference...
    Thank you very much in advance for your help. Pardon if I don't bother calling India again - they have been unhelpful in trying to solve this issue.

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

    Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
    If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
    Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
    Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
    Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
    Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
    SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro      was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
    PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

  • 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.
