Speed's more than halved

For a year or two we have had consistant speeds of around 230kbps download, which isn't exactly amazing, but it has done us fine. But since a few weeks ago the speeds have dropped to more than half of this at between 30-110kbps download.
We changed router to the home hub about 2 months ago, but after having to deal with it's problems we swapped to an older router, however this broke and so we are back on the home hub. However our speeds have significantly dropped for no reason that we are aware of.
I thought I should post here before calling BT and telling them. What can I do to bring the speed back up?
I just did a speedtest on speedtester.bt.com and got this result;
Download speedachieved during the test was - 803 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 200-1000 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :1427 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 899 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 1000 Kbps

if you are regularly unplugging the leads or resetting the hub the both have the same effect in that the exchange thinks there is a line problem and increases the noise margin. The more you frequently reset the enchange ups the noise margin.  The optimum noise margin for the Hub is 6.  Without resets the hub will try to return to the optimum of 6 with a resulting increase in down sync.  Connecting to master socket may improve your connection

    Hi you have a very high noise level which is what is causing your low speed i suggest you try these first 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
    also you could try the hints given by poster RogerB in this link they may help http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397
    Then someone here may be able to help and offer more advice.

  • Broadband has more than halved in speed...why?

    Just switched to BT from TalkTalk (they were extremely slow, 2.5Mbps on a good day, and the internet went down every 5 minutes)
     Switch went ahead without a problem and we had speeds of approximately 6Mbps for the first few days. All extremely happy with the speed. Then, before the 10 day beginning period had finished, the speed plummeted down to 2.5Mbps and has stayed there. The 10 day period is now up. We are paying more for BT than for TalkTalk, and you've proved to us that you CAN provide us with a 6Mbps service. In fact, the details which came through estimated us at 8Mbps, with a PROMISED MINIMUM of 6 and a maximum of 12.
    Can anyone from BT please explain to me why you are delivering the same speed (2.5Mbps) as the previous ISP, when you are promising a MINUMUM of over double that, and charging more?

  • Fault repaired, Speed more than halved !!

    Hi all,
    I've had a line fault which took out phone and infinity, prior to fault has wired speeds of 34/37 down and 5.5/5.9 up, I'm on infinity one so was pleased with it. Fault been repaired and speeds now down to 13 down and 3 up, how can i get this reset so i have my speeds back. Bt estimate for my line is 30 - 42 down which i was within. I have been getting 34/37 down for over 2 years do i just have to sit back and wait for the dslam to sort itself out which could take weeks/months or can the Mods get anything sorted for me please.
    I haven't got much faith in it sorting itself out.

    You could always try and complain to BT and ask for it to be reset but usually Openreach will not do anything until DLM has had a chance to do it's job. I would give it upto three weeks from when the fault was fixed and if it's not back to where it should be either post back or complain to BT.

  • Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

    Can I use more than one blue-tooth device at the same time on IPhone 4S? Like a wireless headsets and speed and cadence sensor for cycling computer, receive the data and listen music simultaneously

    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

  • More Than One Computer Trying to Access Web = Very Slow Download Speeds?

    We have Verizon DSL with a basic Westell modem, which supposedly is only a modem with no router capabilities. We have an Airport Extreme Snow Base Station that acts as a WDS Main, with one other AEB Snow as a WDS Remote. All computers have unique ip addresses in the 10.0.1.X range as provided by the WDS Main's DHCP.
    When only one computer connects to the internet to download web pages, software updates, etc., there seems to be no problem at all. When I do a speed check I get results that seem to be in the correct range, and it doesn't matter which computer I use for the test.
    However, if we try to access the internet with more than one computer at the same time, everything slows to a crawl. Such as, if one computer is downloading software updates, the other CPUs have super slow web page downloads, slow to the point of connection time-outs at times. Or if two of the computers are simply trying to download web pages at the same time, one or the other has super slow downloads.
    I feel like there is some kind of routing problem with the Base Station but for the life of me I cannot figure it out.
    What could the problem be? Where could it originate, and what, if any, advice could someone give me to help trace the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    ... the one computer I am looking at right now shows DNS servers as 10.0.1.1, which is the internal ip address of the AEB. Could this be part of the problem?
    That is normal and shouldn't cause a problem. Essentially it tells the computer to ask the snow AirPort base station (ABS) for DNS information. The ABS will then provide the DNS information which it currently received from the ISP.
    Would it help if I manually entered the DNS numbers that appear on the AEB on each machine's Network Preferences?
    Probably not. A busy DNS server or faulty DNS info won't affect download speeds. That only affects browsing since that requires the computer to convert human readable addresses to numbers that the computer can use.
    Remember that the snow ABS only operates at 802.11b (11 Mbps) speeds. Then when you use WDS it cuts your available wireless bandwidth in half.

    Why this device cannot support  300Mb/s rate in radio 0 of speed ?
    i want to setup more than 54 Mb/s when i use my laptop to connect this AP.

    The 802.11n HT rates apply only to no encryption  or WPA2/AES encryption. They do not apply to WEP or WPA encryption. If  WEP or TKIP encryption is used, the 1250 series access points and any  802.11n Draft 2.0 clients will not transmit at the HT rates. Legacy  rates (802.11a/b/g) will be used for any clients using WEP or TKIP  encryption.
    Ref.: Release Notes
    40MHz Operation
    If the  throughput you get from a 20-MHz channel isn't enough for your speedy  users, you can flip each 5-GHz 11n radio into a bonded-channel  configuration.
    You can configure 40-MHz operation on the 2.4-GHz  radio of the 1250 Series AP, but this isn't recommended or supported.  The primary reason against it is that with a wide channel in a band that  has so little available spectrum (and so much interference), you make a  single AP capable of higher throughput at the expense of performance  for all neighboring access points-certainly not the way enterprise WLANs  ought to be designed. Also, the vast majority of client chipsets  (Intel's, for one) will not support 40-MHz operation in the 2.4-GHz  space.
    Ref.: Cisco  802.11n Design and Deployment Guidelines
    Making the Most of Things
    Once you're  connected at 802.11n HT rates, you'll want to make sure you don't lose  the throughput gains you should be able to achieve. Not all may be  within your control, but if you understand the performance implications  of these variables, it will help you in baselining your WLAN  capabilities.
    When your  laptops are unplugged, the 11n client will likely try aggressively to  save battery power. Depending on client radio and chipset, it's not  uncommon to see performance drop by as much as 50 percent. Unless you  know how to fully disable this, keep your laptops plugged in if you want  maximum performance,
    Note: Even if you managed to disable this power save function, most laptop  motherboards/chipsets have automated power-saving features that kick in  when the laptop is unplugged. At best, these are difficult to disable.  Thus, it is strongly recommended that you not do performance testing  when clients are battery operated.
    As detailed  previously, throughput performance may vary as legacy devices are  introduced into the 802.11n environment. This is to be expected, but  make sure that you find a channel void of all legacy transmissions if  you want to test the high-water mark of your new 11n WLAN. If that isn't  possible, adjust your expectations accordingly.

  • Speeding up the footage more than 1000% but with transitions

    Hey there,
    I am trying to speed up the footage of a view out of an airplane window in Premiere Pro CC. I basically want to have a view over the whole landscape, let's say in a height of 300m, and then speed this view gradually up until the airplane lands, and all this within around 3-5 seconds seconds.
    The first problem I have is that I seem to not be able to speed my footage up to more than 1000%. If I wanted to have a time lapse between being up in the air and landing on the runway within like 5 seconds that is definitely not enough.
    The second problem is that I don't want to start the timelapse sudden, but have a transition when changing the speed. Normally, I do that with these blue little handles to get a S-curve for my speed of a certain clip. When I tried googling it considering a higher speed than 1000% someone only suggested to export the speeded clip, import it again and then speed it up again. But then there is no gradually speed up possible, it only works for the same speed over the whole clip
    Summarizing these problems, I can't find a way to speed my footage up to more than 1000% without loosing the effect of a gradually S-speed-curve.
    Does anyone have an advice on how to solve this problem, especially focussing on my specific clip?
    Thank you and sorry for my english.

  • Macbook air cpu charge is lower than 5%, but temperature is more than 90°C and fans don't speed up ! is it normal ?

    hello,
    my macbook air cpu charge is lower than 5% (i.e. no apps are loaded only the finder, istat menu give me a cpu charge near 3%),
    but temperature is more than 90°C and fans don't speed up !
    is it normal ?

    It is degrees C.
    when the computer has a normal behavour with no CPU charge, its temp is about 35°C
    but sometimes temp increase to 90°C and more.
    because i don't heard the fan speed increasing (I almost don't heard the fan so i think they should stay at 2000rpm), I'm afraid to burn the CPU and shut down the mac
    i didn't let him get hotter.

  • Cannot get more than 54Mbps N speed in Windows

    I have a 1st-gen Airport Extreme (dual-band) Base Station, firmware 7.4.2, and a MacBook Pro, "Mid/Late 2007," 2.4GHz. I have separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz network names on the AEBS. I have a great 300Mbps connection when I am in OS X 10.6, but when I switch over to Windows 7 on the MBP, I have never been able to connect at more than 54Mbps. I have connected to my friend's 2nd-gen AEBS in Windows at 300Mbps, so I know it's not my MBP. Is there any way to fix this connection speed in Windows? Thanks for any suggestions.

    I do have the Radio Channel Selection set to Automatic. Would it make a difference to specify the 5GHz channel?

  • VERIZON CHANGED HIGH SPEED DSL AT CENTRAL OFFICE AFTER I HAD 7.840 MBPS FOR MORE THAN 10 MONTHS!!!

    ALL OF THE SUDDEN VERIZON DECIDES IN LATE APRIL THAT I SHOULD HAVE 7.1 MBPS INSTEAD OF THE 7.840 MBPS I HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR MORE THAN 10 MONTHS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, AFTER A LOT OF DISCONNECTIONS SUFFERED IN MARCH/APRIL 2012 BECAUSE VERIZON WAS DOING SOMETHING IN THEIR CENTRAL OFFICE WITHOUT TELLING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, AND HAVING TO REPLACE ALL OF THE DSL FILTERS, AND TWO MODEMS... I GOT THE D-LINK WORKING AT 7.840 MBPS. AS A MATTER OF FACT, VERIZON TECHNICIAN CAME TO MY HOME AND WE DID INSTALL THE NEW MODEM AT THAT VERY SPEED, WHICH WAS AGREED MORE THAN 1 YEAR AGO AFTER DOING A LOT OF TESTING TO ENSURE THE STABILITY IN THE CONNECTION. ALL OF THE SUDDEN, AFTER THE 20-DAY HONEYMOON WITH MY NEW MODEM, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEED WAS NOT THE SAME, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE IP WAS CHANGED AND THE SPEED SETTING DROPPED TO 7.1 MBPS. NOW VERIZON CLAIMS THAT MY CONTRACT WAS FOR A MAXIMUM OF 7.1 MBPS WHICH IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE 7-15 MBPS RANGE!!! AS A MATTER OF FACT I COULD GO EVEN OVER 8 MBPS BUT BECAUSE OF MY LOCATION, RELATIVELY FAR AWAY FROM THE CENTRAL OFFICE AND AFTER A LOT OF TESTING, 7.840 MBPS WAS THE MOST CONVENIENT SPEED. VERIZON CHANGES THEIR POLICIES NOT NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMERS, THEY DO WORK INTERRUPTING THE SERVICE WITHOUT NOTIFYING. I AM GOING TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY DO IN THIS CASE. IF THIS IS NOT SOLVED PROPERLY... GOOD BYE VERIZON, AND HELLO TIME WARNER CABLE!!! SO, VERIZON BE PREPARED TO LOSE ANOTHER LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR MORE THAN 9 YEARS!!! THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH VERIZON, THEY ARE SO DEDICATED TO GET NEW CUSTOMERS THAT FORGET ABOUT THEIR OLD LOYAL ONES... UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES... AND THOSE ARE THAT YOU WILL LOSE THE OLD ONES SOON BECAUSE YOUR LACK OF CARE ABOUT THEM!!! ONCE YOU ARE HOOKED WITH VERIZON, THEY THINK THEY GOTCHA FOREVER... LET'S WAIT AND SEE...

    Believe or not... That 20% does make a difference... In one of my games, I used to have 5.3 secs of response time, now it does not lower from 7.8. By the way, even my PC worked faster  when I had that little higher speed... I know the changes were done without my knowledge because for a period of 2 weeks I got lot of unstability in my connection that I never got for years before... After 20 days with the first IP assigned to the new modem, the speed dropped like Verizon was running a program to levelize such an speed.
    At the end, what really bothers me, is that the 7.840 Mbps was a speed agreed with Verizon, their technicians, their supervisors at the CO, and it was fully documented, and all of the sudden because an "internal change in their policies" that agreement was broken... I am currently making arrangements to have FIOS installed at home, subject to an scouting visit from Verizon to evaluate the feasibility of its installation according to my internal wiring limitations. I have to give them a try... No doubt that it would me cheaper and much faster than the high speed enhanced internet connection that I currently have. Let's wait and see...
    Thank you for your interest in my case and observations made too.
