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?
There are a couple of other computers connected to the router but they are not using it heavily in the evening.
Here are my stats, any help is appreciated!

from the stats you have posted your connection looks fine. you need to post btspeedtester results when you are having problems
your are not downloading p2p during these times as these are managed at peak times
are you wireless or wired?

Very slow speeds during evening.

Hi there, my bt infinity 2 is very slow during the evening. From 5pm to 1am every night. I have spoken to three others who are connected to the same cabinet as me. All with the same issues.
I contacted BT about 1 month who actually got an engineer to have a look at the cabinet or something, I couldnt really hear what he said on the phone. This fixed the problem for around 3 weeks then the problem came back around 4 days ago.
The issue I am having is that BT are no use on the phone like the first guy was, they all just say they will change my wireless channel on my homehub. Even tho I said I do not use wireless. And I don't even own a homehub so good luck with that. I am asking for a nod to help me out here, as the BT call centre guys are useless now.
Exchange: Carstairs
Cabinet: 2
Thanks

As you can see my IP Profile is alot higher than my sync. As when the cabinet reset all lines 5 days ago. My sync was much higher then resycned a day later back to the old speed with peak time issues.
Thanks for the help
A possible solution to your IP Profile being wrong is to reboot your router.
Looks like you have noise on the line - possibly a line fault.
Can you confirm the speedtest was done using wired ethernet, not wireless and not power-line adapters?

Slow speed every evening

I have FIOS plan 25/5. The speed is at what it is during day time. However, starting from around 6:30 PM, the speed, especially download speed slowed down dramatically. It will be 5 Mbps at 7:00 PM and 2 Mbps at 9:00 PM. At 11:00 PM, the speed will pick up and post midnight, it will be back to normal.
It happens each every evening without exception.
Does anyone have same issue?

It sounds like Santa Claus came early to your neighborhood.
Let's hope Scrooge doesn't come back and slow down your connection again.

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

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:

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.
Solved!

Bt infinity 2 slow speeds and disconnection

hi all hi all after having spent over two hours on the phone with BT being passed from post to post from billing to technical support back to billing people slamming phones down on me and no help what so ever today 22/05/2014 have been with bt over 5 years phone line the broadband and all services
it a joke now
2012 I have had fibre optic broadband service with BT and all was ok till November 2013 when start have slow speeds and in January year 2014 started having disconnections reconnection connections form 5 mins to to 60mnis or sum times 2mins of the broadbands and the connections sometimes 3 to 4 times a day disconnections and so on .... when was supposed to be fixed the upload speed was very slow and the download speed was okay when I first started with BT with the fibre-optic broadband two years ago nearly I was averaging about 42 meg per day and average speed of upload was 6.5 Mag
but now 32.meg dowm /up is 3.5 Rwent off in February he did a shift in lift because the broadband was 42 meg download bought lacked upload speed of less than half meg for the day of the lift it ran at 52 meg with an average upload speed of about seven meg from around February till the end of February then stat act erratically reboot the bt hub 4 rebooting all time DSL light off on the main openreach modem in one day was off and on 36 times
had engineers visit last week 14th of May to test line all was ok with line but i had now found out that bt they'll are now only selling me option one broadband fibre-optic even though I am paying for option two they now states that the speed on my line will never go above 36 meg so why am I paying for option 2 fibre-optici be through to the billing department today said yes you are an option 2 but the technical department to say my line will only support 36 meg and I did find out from the engineer that I am on option one and only for the supply of the broadband line but have been pay for BT infinity option2
I think this is just an easy way for BT to get out of fixing the mind correctly by downgrading the line but wanting the customer to carry on paying for option to have tried with billing to sort this problem out today they just said you need to speak to technical support technical support what support manages to say you need to speak to billing one of them even slammed the phone on me
No customer support spent over two hours on the phone today and got nowhere and one department saying we can downgrade you to option one broadband but it will cost you £30 to do so
who i speak to if billing are no help at all ??????

Service outages and slow speeds

Why have I been having service outages and slow speeds for the last several weeks. I am in south central PA. (Somerset County)
Why do I have to pay Verizon for service that I do not get?

#1 Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Remove that line. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
#2 Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
If you don't know how to get that info:
a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem: What is the brand and model of that RJ-45 WAN port router?
#3 Even If you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from your modem and you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem: What is the brand and model of that RJ-45 WAN port router?

Very slow speeds and ridiculous email and bill for...

Hi
i have several issues. I have been a very satisfied customer for over 15 years until early summer of this year:
1. My broadband speeds remain painfully slow despite 3 complaints and investigations. In fact my line is still connected to the test line as I was advised to do and I have never had a call back as promised.
2. I have now received an email message to say I have used 90gb at a cost of £50. This is almost all uploads. i upload nothing and this figure is impossible. Until June my usage was quite small and I came nowhere near my limit on option 2. Nothing has changed with my usage since then. I do not download or stream films and do not upload large quantities. I probably would stream films, but the slow speed does not allow it.
3. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to sort this out today, but was not helped by a succession of people who barely understood the situation and had even less understanding of customer service. I have now emailed, but have had a message saying it might be 72 hours before a reply.
Any advice would be really helpful as I am at my wits end
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok....since the original post the problem has continued. I have spent literally hours on the phone to people who say all the same things and never come up with a solution.
The test results are below. I do not experience speeds as reported. And if I use another tester it correctly comes out as about 1 4 - 1.9. or even lower. The upload usage is still showing as high....but it is just not possible. I have now reset the hub wireless key, but I have not shared this with anyone in range. Apple TV is now disconnected after it was going to take 20 hours to download a film!
I am at my wits end with this and really do not want the hassle of changing provider but even after 20 years BT broadband I am so very close to that.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

K9N2 Sli Platinum + SSD OCZ Vertex 3 = Slow Speed Problem [PARTIALLY SOLVED]

Hey folks,
I have a problem with my new SSD. I only get sequential reads of 140MB/s and writes of 114MB/s.
I think it is a driver related issue. I once got faster SATA2-like speeds but cannot reproduce the system settings again... Everything back to SATA1-like speeds after reboot.
First my pc specs:
MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum, BIOS v3.9
- 6 SATAII ports by nForce 750a SLI
- 2 ESATA (External-SATA) ports (back panel) by JMB363
- Supports storage and data transfers at up to 3 Gb/s
AMD Phenom II 965 Black
Patriot PV224G8500ELKB Viper II Series DDR2 4GB (2 x 2GB, CL5 PC-8500/1066MHz)
SSD SATAIII OCZ Vertex 3, 120GB, FW v2.11
LG Internal BlueRay BH10LS30
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I only get very slow speeds with the SSD. I tried so many things that I am getting very frustrated now, I am even thinking about getting a new board and ram just to get the SSD up to speed...
1)
I installed Win7 first with all the default settings in Windows Setup from DVD. Default "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" driver was "Standard AHCI1.0 Serial ATA Controller".
SSD was connected to SATA1-port, On-Chip Sata Controller AHCI enabled in BIOS, Extra RAID/IDE Controller disabled.
All fine, but whichever benchmark I used (AS SSD, HD Tune Pro, Atto Disk Benchmark, CrystalDiskMark; other tools used: DriveControllerInfo, AIDA64/Everest, CrystalDiskInfo ) I got e.g. 140MB/s Read and 114MB/s Write sequentially (CrystalDiskmark, similar with random data AND only zeros ).
Trim working (it seems) with AHCI driver. I also changed to nvstor64 driver (nforce driver setup 15.56), with is marginally faster but not what you would expect from a SATAIII drive on SATAII controller.
2)
I installed Win7 using "diskpart" (Shift-F10) during disk setup, setting a cluster size of 64k instead of default. No real change.
3)
After reinstall of Win7 x64 (again...), I changed from SATA1 port to SATA6 port, also enabled Extra Raid/IDE controller set to AHCI as well.
Nothing changed. With all settings to default in Windows (ahci default driver), I then manually updated the ahci to nvstore64 driver in Device Management, rebooted.
Then a minute later after reboot I got the following Sequential speeds with CrystalDiskMark:
273MB/s read and 137MB/s write (random data) + 274MB/s read and 220MB/s write (with zeros) !!!
While I ran this benchmark Windows came up with a message: "You must restart your computer to apply these changes - Restart Now/Restart Later".
After the previos reboot, when I changed manually from AHCI to NVSTORE, I had changed nothing in the current session, apart from running CrystalDiskMark.
I did reboot and I was back to the slow SSD speeds again = 140/114 MB/s...
4)
I have tried every possible combination of mainboard SATA ports, drivers changing with nvidia setup/manually, deleting and disabling controllers (incl BSOD and startup repair :D ), chaning bios settings around, but I just cannot get back the faster speeds
There is never any change in speed, whether I use ahci or nvstore64, whichever benchmark I use, whether random or zeros...
5)
Could the SSD be broken, something internally preventing it from faster speeds (with this one random exception)?
Could it be that my K9N2 SataPorts only allows for / reduced to SATA1 speeds?
Am I missing something with the driver setup?
Do I need additional drivers for the extra JMicron Controller when using SataPorts 5/6 ?
I have no other mainboard to test this with...
Please guys, I am going to jump out of the window if I can't fix it... :(
Thanks, Mike

Hey guys - problem 'solved':
I tested the OCZ SSD Vertex 3 120GB with following sata3 controller card http://www.lycom.com.tw/PE-115H.htm.
The card itself works immediately (needs at least PCIe x4 slot, will work slower otherwise but still faster than the OCZ SSD @sata1 with nvidia chipset).
There is some raid setup, doesn't apply to me, the boot even with the card is really only a few seconds longer and not annoying at all. Windows (7 x64) needed a driver, supplied on CD (which is cheap and making noise like h**l). The card works w/o the driver but doesn't harm to install it...
Also, just to clarify, this sata controller card did not need any specific setup at all. Just put it in, plug in sata cable (I use akasa sata3-rated), maybe change boot device in BIOS (I didn't even have to), done - booting Windows as usual.
Benchmark CDM with sata controller card Lycom PE-115H:

Speed is much better than before with nvidia chipset 750a SLI controller: sata1 (sata2 whenever it randomly worked):

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6258/cdmahci0x0sata6contnv64.png
Final thoughts:
Well, I am happy with the SSD speed now (PCIe limited to 5Gbps). However, I had to spent quite some time to get it working on my sata2-cabable mainboard. Finally, I had to buy a extra controller card to get it working reliably at speeds faster than sata1. There is hardly any useful information on why this problem occurs with (older) nvidia chipsets and OCZ (sata3) SSDs. I still think that OCZ must know about this problem, but regards this issue as low priority, while at the same time not planning on giving up on sales to people with nvidia chipsets. Maybe OCZ should just make a big sticker on the box the drives come in with something like "Does/Might not work with nvidia chipsets, please use third-party sata controller card or different SSD manufacturer". But then none of these potential customers would buy OCZ SSDs...
I will keep the sata3 controller, anyway handy to have, but return the OCZ Vertex 3 120GB and replace it with a SSD from a different manufacturer (Corsair Force GT, Patriot and OWC are not that great to get around here). The benchmarks for most people will not achieve the maximum advertised OCZ speeds anyway, so why not go with a brand that allows for some plug'n'play with some customer support.
Hope this post helps others like me with their nvidia chipset + sata1 speed problem
Cheers, Mike

Reset hub and now getting extremely slow speeds...

Hi there,
So I have had bt broadband for 3 months and had nothing but problems. The speed is very slow, though I do live in a rural area so somewhat to be expected. However in the evenings I have noticed I can get extremely high pings (1000+) and slow speeds (below 0.5 mbps).
Recently however my usual daytime speeds of around 1.2 mbps shot up to around 3 mbps, which to me is quite high! (compared to what I have been getting).
Though it dropped off a bit over the past few days (to around 2.2 mbps) it was still working ok, until last night when I reset my homehub as my sister was unable to connect to it at all.
Since then I have had nearly none existant speeds. Even getting on here was a mission. I am getting speeds of around 0.10 mbps, though my ping seems to vary wildly from around 50 all the way back up to silly numbers.
I attempted to use the bt speed test, but it told me it couldn't get a reading cos my line was too slow!
I did however get one eventually from BT wholesale as below. (it won't let me copy it in?...)
Download speed (mbps): 0.14
Upload speed (mbps): 0.35
Ping Latency (ms): 69.63
Speedtest.net give the following
Really getting fed up with the unreliable and slow connection. When added to the problems getting a line installed in the first place (it took 3 months!) and problems I have had in the past, I am seriously looking to see what other options I have, but there aren't many good providers that will set us up out here
Can anyone help me get a stable, reasonably fast connection?
Thanks,
Richard

I currently have the hub connected to the master socket via a filter. I have tried on the main socket and master socket with two different filters and nothing changed...
As for the btspeedtester, I was unable to successfully run that...It just says my connection may be too slow (no kidding!)
Finally, regarding the quiet line test...I don't actually have a phone at the moment. I only wanted broadband as I rarely make phone calls from the house and use my mobile. I am looking to get one for the sole purpose of fixing this issue (and ringing bt to have a whinge at them)
Thanks,
Richard

I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems with their imac fans being extremely loud when running at slow speeds? When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at higher speeds they quiet down. New HD fan was just installed.

I have an imac that I've had for a couple years. The fans have always been loud when running at the slower speeds. When the computer heats up enough for the fans to run at a higher speed the fans quiet down. I had installed SMC fan control after multiple attempts with Apple to get the fan issue resolved. That seemed to keep the fans quiet enough. I've never had a problem with overheating. Recently the fans were becoming loud again even running at the slightly higher speeds so I took it to my local Apple store and they replaced the hard drive fan. I got it back and it's now as loud or louder than ever!! And, now SMC fan control won't "stick." The fans will speed up, but then gradually go back to the lower "loud" levels. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks jared,
I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

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/telecommunications_and_online/7763.aspx .
These projects are now being ratified (delayed) by the European Commission. http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/5355-are-bduk-projects-really-delayed-by-eu-state-aid-rules.html

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!

I'm alright Jack....

Hit my record with BT's ridiculous slow speed.

Once again, slow speeds for no reason.
Probably because of their "remote" adjustments to my line - that's how they fixed my speed problems before anyway.

Without doubt, this is the worst speed and ping I ever, EVER had. Worse than dial-up. Thank you, my weekend has been wasted.

I can't take BT seriously anymore, it's a **bleep**ing joke.
A guy threw my mail through my door, I went to pick it up, then went back to my PC and what do I see?
http://www.speedtest.net/result/994705945.png
So, my theory is this. The vibrations the guy made with his attempt to slip the mail caused BT line go ape**bleep**, thus completely ruining my broadband for this entire day. Quality, top notch quality.
Update 1: I used the test socket behind the plate, the result:

Still not perfect though, the ping goes up and down randomly (from 50 to 1400). This is going to be a lot of fun.
Update 2: Just to show you how random it is, here a few more tests:

Did a BT speedtest as well:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 910 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
