Sudden drop in download speed and increase in uplo...

I have seen a number of discussions on this on the forum but they all seem to just fade with no resolution.
I have HH3 with Infinity and up to about 4 weeks ago I was delighted with it. Consistent 21Mbps download and 6Mbps upload. Then one afternoon the speeds just went sillly - download went down to about 6Mbps and upload to about 10Mbps. It's been more or less like that ever since.
It's wireless so thought there must be some interference somewhere. I've installed inSSIDer 3 to check for other router interference and there isn't any (I'm the only one on channel 6). I've restarted everything a number of times and given it weeks to pace. I've switched off everything that uses the router and even sat right next to it but all to no avail. The speeds just won't budge from these new low speeds. I've ethernet attached and run tests and it looks fine - 53.5Mbps upload which is great. So the problem is somewhere between coming into the house and my laptop. I thought it might be a problem with my wireless adapter but the problem is the same on another couple of laptops and a desktop. Even the iPod has slowed down.
I have found an uknown device on the wireless and every time I delete it it just comes back but I did manage to remove it for a few minutes - enough time to run the test - and the speed problem was stilll there. I've looked at entries for this strange uknown device but as I said above, the discussion just dwindled into nothing without resolution. I tried the sugggestion to limit access to the internet for this device but it didn't seem to help. It may be a red herring anyway although the mac address doesn't seem to match anything in my house. An internal device to the router maybe?
Anyway - I'm getting more and more frustrated as I've seen what speed is possible and I want it back !!!
So - any help would be hugely appreciated

Sorry - yep I meant download. I was in a bit of a hurry and went off piste.
I have been so close to the router with my laptop that I could have rested it on the router. However, I will go round one more time to see if there is something that we started when it all went wrong such as a new device of some kind. Clutching at straws but worth a try. It might be that an old device has gone bad so I'll do what I can with those (switching things off).
yep rebooted router a couple of times and allowed a few weeks for it to settle.
inSSIDer shows strength fluctuating between -48 and 50 although I dimly recall that it was -42 when I was getting the good speeds. Hub claims 130Mbps and device claims 54Mbps.
If all of that fails to work I'lll try resetting to factory settings. It just seems odd that one minute it's fine then the next it just goes into snail mode.
Thanks for the sugggestions - very welcome ...

I am having exactly the same problem. Since the 28th my speeds have gone down from 2 - 2.5 mbps to 0.1 - 0.3 mbps. It's awful and I can barely do anything.

I have moved your post and started a new subject to avoid replies for the other subject originator getting confused with replies to you
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 may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) bt speedtester and post the results .
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

Suddenly reduced BB download speed - again!

Many months ago, I suffered a drastic reduction in BB speed. Please can you help? According to BT website, I should get BB download speed of 12.0 to 14.5 Mb/s but since September this has been around 9 Mb/s. On 19 December 2012, the speed suddenly dropped to 6655/828 and here is my current data from the Hub 2.0:

As you can see, the noise ratio which is usually in the 14-15 dB area has jumped to over 20 dB!
Please don't tell me that this is due to the Hub being reset too often. Only time I switched off the Hub was to move it to the BT box in the hallway. It resets itself frequently enough with no help from me. Today it has reset itself three times in 8 minutes during the past hour!!
I have moved my Hub from upstairs at the end of a 15-metre extension to the BT box in our hallway where it enters the house. No improvement whatever. I have an I-Plate fitted.
I connected my laptop to the Hub by ethernet and got the results:
Max possible speed 7.15Mb/s; actual speed 5.87 Mb/s download. Sorry I can't show the image but the desktop I am using is connected by wireless and the BT Speedtester doesn't want me to connect wirelessly - why not?
Can someone please reset the noise margin to something like the 6.0 dB that is the BT standard as that will undoubtedly speed up my connection? And should I just dump the Hub 2.0 and buy a router which delivers? And when will this lonely bit of Birmingham be getting Infinity? Every other exchange around me has Infinity buty good old Acocks Green still operates steam-powered Broadband!!
Help, please!

How to increase the camera download speed and save binary file speed

My camera is pco dimax S1 camea. The interface is cameralink Base.
The memory is on board.
I use 1000fps@480*480 resolution to capture 1 sec.
Then download the images from the on board memory to computer.
The board in the PC side is NI-1429 board.
Theory, the cameralink transport speed should be 250MB/S
In the file format, file size should be (480(H)*480(V)*16bit*1000fps)/8=460.8 MB
Logically it should be download complete under 2 sec
But in my program, the real download speed at about 40 framess/s, (480*480*16*40)/8=18.432 MB/S
(250MB/S)/(18.432MB/S)= 13.85
The download speed is totally slower 13.8 times.
I use the SSD and RAID 0 to save the file.
I did some test as below:
1. Try to save png or binary file. The speed of binary had a litter faster, but it still doesn't close the 250MB/S.
2. I try to adjust the resolution from 16bit to 12bit or 8bit to save the image. The download speed still 40 frames/s(18.432MB/S)
3. I try to use IMAQ Sequence to save the file, but how to add in my program, can anyone help me?
On the other hand, I also guess may be the structure of my program have an problem cause the download and save speed slow.
Attached please find the program.
To see if there are other ways to increase the speed of file written!

You have to separate your step1 and step2 into two parallel loop.
If you put the two tasks in one loop, the lower speed task will affect the loop speed.
So that the program won't achieve the top speed.
Is continuous acquisition required for your application? Can sequence acquisition or finite acquisition be your workaround?
The memory handling in continuous acquisition is way a lot more difficult than finite acquisition.
I would suggest you to figure out how finite acquisition work and then jump into the continuous acquisition application.

Slow download speeds and/or dropped internet connectivity

Recently, my fios internet connection will be intermittently slow or simply drop altogether on all my devices. The verizon speed test also shows that my download speeds are less than 1mb/sec whereas upload speeds are up to 15 mb/s. My service plan is 25/25. I have been using the service with no issues for the past 4 months. This seems to have come up out of the blue in the past few days. Resetting the router has no effect. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? This is in Philadelphia. I tried to call support, but had to give up after being on hold for 55 minutes. Going to try again tomorrow.

Sorry I haven't been able to update with more info sooner. I am conncted with wifi. The location of my laptop with respect to the router has not changed at any time during the duration of these issues. Since monday when I originally posted, the following happened: On Tuesday the problem appeared to have been resolved as I was getting 29.5 down and 20 up at 7:00 EST. I tested again at 10:30 EST and was getting 17 down and 19 up so everything seemed good. Last night, however, the issue popped up again. I was not able to test until about 10:30 but at that time I was once again consistently getting less than 1 mb down and 5-10 up. Ironically, the download speeds were so poor I was not even able to log in to these forums to post without the webpage timing out. Tonight, I was having issues earlier (download speeds ~1-2 mb) but not I am once again getting ~30 down based on the verizon speedtest. I have not tried changing the channel of my wireless, could the interference from another wifi cause issues like this? IT is set to automatic right now though.

Please help cure sudden drop in BB speed

Hi,
Following the advice of a BT Openreach engineer I recently installed a new Home Hub 3 modem - the engineer was upgrading my old phone socket to a new 'dual' ADSL/Phone socket and installing new cabling to the telegraph pole outside our property).
Initially I was getting very good BB speeds (for this area) of around 4-5 Mbps however a week ago the speed dropped overnight to about 1.8 Mbps, with many web pages taking significantly longer to load - ironically BT pages seem to take the longest now.
I reset the modem with the hope that the speed may pick up again but 5 days on and the speed is still only around 1.93 Mbps. I ran the BT Speed Test using the following computers (one at a time) connected directly via ethernet cable to either the HH3 GigE socket or the regular Ethernet socket:
MacBook Pro
Samsung Notebook
MacBook Air
iMac
Mac Pro
I also ran the same test using WiFi to include iPad and iPhone - same speed results. Nothing else was connected at the time of the tests, not even the phone.
It seems the problem isn't my computers but the modem as the speed coming into it from the exchange is pretty high - 7.26 Mbps.
Any help or advice on how to get my BB speed back to what it was previously would be greatly appreciated.

Sudden drop in transfer speed

I have been trying out a WRT1900AC router for about a week and just developed a MAJOR drop in speed from the router to the computer while doing a file transfer:
This thing has been sending files to and from the router's esata and USB3 port at over 50 MB/s until just now.
I can still write to the drives attached to the router at 50MB/s + all day long. Getting files from the drives have suddenly dropped to 300Kb/s on the esata and the USB3 ports
Tried rebooting/powercycling the router, disconnected the drives and reconnected them, same result.
Anyone else run into this?
Funny, I just got done posting in another thread how fast this thing moved files to and from external storage. Now this,,,,,,
Maybe the universe is telling me not to keep this router?

1. What file sizes do you usually transfer? What are the file types?
For testing I used larger files (IE: ISO files, larger zipped files, etc.) rather than just copying folders or small files.
2. Are the files being transferred to and from your computer and a storage drive (hooked to the WRT1900AC)?
Files were moved all over: from a WD Mycloud (hooked up to 8 port gigabit netgear switch) to my computer. Also have a Toshiba 1TB USB3 drive plugged into the WRT1900AC USB3 port and an older WD 2 x1TB enclosure hooked into the WRT1900AC via the eSATA port. For testing I moved files all over the place: From the Esata to the computer, to the USB drive, to the WD Mycloud and back again. Also mixed up going from point A to B, then from point C to point B, etc. In all cases the slowest speed I get is 50MB/s + with some transfers topping out at 90MB/s!!!
3. If it's a storage drive, does it have USB3 ports as well?
Yes
4. What is the link speed of your computer?
Wired Gigalan
Routers do not usually need to be rebooted every now and then. They should be running 24/7. My guess is, the wired or wireless adapter may have adjusted speeds consequently dropping file transfer speeds.
Agreed. I can count on one hand how many times I had to reboot my last router over the 2+ years I had it.
Heres the other thing: the need to reboot is not just associated with file transfers. I get the "cant connect with the WRT1900AC" message just going into the user interface from time to time as well as being unable to see storage folders in Windows explorer from time to time. In these cases I can still go online, surfing and doing whatever. The router (according to the Smartlink page) just seems to disappear. Which doesnt make sense since if the router cant be seen online, how is it that I can still go online?
Anywho, I still have this week before I lose the ability to return/exchange it at Best Buy. Will see how things go.
And thanks for the reply and suggestions,,,,,,,,,,

Airport WEP Security drops my download speed

I have two routers: one from my ISP (which issues my IP addresses) and an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (which serves as a bridge). My DSL speed is 5MB, which I've been getting with both routers unsecured. I secured the ISP router and nothing changes as far as my speed is concerned, but when I secure the AEBS, my download speed drops to 3MB, a significant drop. Any suggestions how to correct this?

1 don't use WEP, it's crackable in 30 seconds.
2 don't use two routers unless you have to
3 if you must use two routers, set them to use different networks
4 which router did your ISP provide?

Big drop in download speeds

Hi and help me please.
Two days ago the broadband became so slow is was impossible to even load an Internet page.
I rang the bt help desk yesterday and after replacing an adsl filter and moving the hub to the main phone line in I seemed to have my usual connection back.
I have come to use the Internet again today and the speeds have dropped massively again. And is becoming very intermittent with its speeds mostly being under .5mb/s.
ranging from .019 to 17.8mb/s download speeds, the upload speeds have been fairly constant at 0.8 - 0.95mb/s

Extremely slow download speed and latency

So basiclly as of 1month ago my download speed has dropped to 0.22 Mb/ps and my ping spikes to around 200-400 everytime I or anyone inside the house uses the internet. This has been happening for about a month now and I want a fix asap because ive had so many problems from this internet that its unreal. I have to call your indian call centre about once every two weeks because i have constant internet problems popping up all the time. Please instruct me on here how I can go about fixing these problems.

Sudden Drop in broadband speed, Used to get 300-40...

I have been having prblems for the last 3 or 4 days now with my download speed just being so slow its becoming unusable... I work from home so need a solid internet connection to work form. I have spoken to BT that gave me the biggest load or rubbish i think i have ever heard and put the blame on my router.
So - I got rid of the HomeHub2 it was causing so much trouble with my VPN's into Work and not opening ports correctly. and i had it replaced with a NetGear DGND3300 - This has been working fine for 6 months or so without so much as a network drop or glitch and has all the right port access for me for work.

I have done all the normal things, I rebooted my netgear router, I put my BtHomeHub2 back in, I replaced the filter, I have turned off every device in the house and used an ethernet cable direct to the router from my laptop and still got exactly the same speeds. So has anyone got any ideas? as BT support are just telling me its my Netgear router that is at fault. Even though I am still running off the BtHomeHub2 with the same problems.

Welcome to this customer to customer forum.
To enable forum members to help you, could you please read the web page that is shown below, which asks you to do a few checks first, and has some helpful hints.
Please could you use the home hub 2, as its not possible to extract all of the information from the Netgear router.

Yosemite Drops WiFi Download Speed 25%

I really had no problems with Yosemite on my late-2013 MBP Retina...until I did a Speedtest.net test of my Internet speed, in this case over a wi-fi connection to my router.
I routinely get 55-60 Mbit/sec download speeds, but with Yosemite I got only 40-45 Mbit/sec, roughly a 25% reduction. In case it was just a slowdown from my ISP, I checked using wired Ethernet, which showed my usual 55-60 Mbit/sec throughput. Toggling immediately back to wi-fi, the speed went back down to the 40-45 Mbit/range.
I saw others with wi-fi issues under Yosemite and tried the proposed solutions that some said fixed the wi-fi speed (and wi-fi drops) problems--turn off Bluetooth for one. Nothing helped. So I restored the Time Machine backup of my Mavericks installation and...everything wifi-related is back to normal. Same network speeds as before Yosemite.
Lesson learned--always do a full backup before a major OS upgrade just in case.

When near router 2-3 m without any obstacles download speed is ok.
Any other my phone (Samsunf S3 for ex.) have no such issue in same location...
Please advise what can cause such issue or it is my Sony hardware specific issue ? How can I solve it ?
This issue is not router specific, because same behavior at home and at work.
just in case following settings I have at home: router in mixed mode, 20/40MHz auto, WMM enabled
Download this and take a look which channel of your router had the best signal and make changes on your router to the best channel within 1-11. Try your speed test again to see if this helps.

Suddenly reduced BB download speed

I rang 0800 111 4567 on Sunday night (19 Feb 2012) after losing broadband completely and was told the problem would be resolved within 24/48 hours. Monday morning, I was connected at 08:11 and got 11984/828. The Home Hub 2.0A then restarted a dozen times and I ended up at 09:07 with 12108/828. I am supposed to be getting 17MB but.....
All seemed to be well until Tuesday morning when I started my PC and found the speeds were now 7127/790 and the download speed remains stubbornly at 7127 while the upload speed bounces around between 828 and 756. Found out about the forum this afternoon!

What do I do now?

I do not know. It reset yesterday at 16:37 (7127/708), 16:44 (7127/756), at 18:24 (7127/828) and this morning, soon after I started up my PC, it restarted again (7127/828). This morning, it took three minutes to reset. I suddenly noticed that only two lights were on - power light and wireless light were both blue. I then sat and waited for at least two minutes before the Broadband light started to flash orange and eventually went blue and then the Phone light flashed half a dozen times and went blue.
Usually, when the Hub restarts, it takes under a minute.

And from www.speedtester.bt.com I got:
1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed
6.2 Mbps
0 Kbps
7.15 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed
Download speedachieved during the test was - 6.2 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 2 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 6.28 Mbps
2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.
Upload Speed
773 Kbps
0 Kbps
832 Kbps
Max Achievable Speed
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 773Kbps

Why is my Max achievable speed 7.15Mbps when I am on "up to 20MB" service and should be getting 17MB?

WRT310N Playstation 3 Slow Download speed and general lag

Hey guys, I just recently bought the WRT310N and got both of my computers working with it. One is wired directly into the router, while the other is running off wireless. My Playstation 3 is able to connect to the router but I am getting an extremely slow connection speed.
Right now, both PC's get about 6.4-6.5 Mbps download speed while my Playstation is anywhere from 600 Kbs to 1.2 Mbps. I have plugged in my Playstation 3 directly into the modem and got a speed of 3.2 Mbps and was downloaded a demo very fast, but I do not recieve anywhere near those results when using it wireless.
Any advice? I have tried opening the ports, but that only seemed to slow it down. A couple of days ago I opened the ports specific to the game NHL 10 and for two days I was getting such a good speed in the game that it felt like I was playing offline, which was great! Then this morning, it just seemed do a complete 180. Now when I play the game I get an extreme amount of lag, and my other games like CoD4 get random lag spikes. Like, I'll be running and I get a lag spike which seems to happen fairly consistently every minute or so.
Any advice? Should I try opening the ports again or what?

I think you need to adjust the wireless settings of your Router, The wireless settings on your Router must have been setup to its default that's the reason you are receiving low signal strength on your PS3.

Major sudden drop in infinity speed - bt issue???

Is anyone else having problems? I am on Ingrebourne exchange and just noticed my download speed has collapsed. Getting between 0.5 and 2 megabits. Upload seems unaffected at 9 mbits. Usually pull 36 megabits download speed so I assume some outage with BT. Although service status shows no issues , at least not yet!
Cheers
