Right, about a month ago we got our connection upgraded to 8MB, and for a while it was great, but as of late I have been getting horrible speeds off downloads and what not, we're talking about 15-20kbps....

We checked all the computers here, unplugged all but one at a time to see if someone had anything nasty that was slowing it down, but after brining a brand new laptop and testing that it turns out it's not a fault with our computers, so I really have no idea what the problem or solution is, any help would be really great

**RoBz** · 09-07-2008, 09:25 AM

Ripping BT a new a**hole seems like the only solution.
>_<

eldiablov · 09-07-2008, 09:27 AM

ring your isp.

EDIT:

Oh its BT. Not much you can do really other than CHANGE YOUR ****ING COMPANY NOW !1111!

I assume you've already phoned India.

**RoBz** · 09-07-2008, 09:32 AM

Seriously, if it isn't your fault then it's theirs, what do you get when you do a speedtest?

Maybe have them send out a technician etc.

**Hemperor** · 09-07-2008, 09:34 AM

On speed test I get 4000 + ie 4MB which is bad, but I can live with it, it's odd, everything seems to go slow, like rapid share premium, and other downloads, ubuntu isos ect ect.

But one site, the debian one downloads isos there at 400+kbps, so wtf is going on?

**Moose** · 09-07-2008, 10:06 AM

They must be capping your downloads from certain sites... ?

**Deturbanator** · 09-07-2008, 10:33 AM

have you tried turning off your router for a day, it worked for my dsl connection when it wasnt going past 20 kb/s, after i had got full speed again.

**Hemperor** · 09-07-2008, 10:34 AM

Switching over to UPC 20Mb, fed up with this.

**BinoPanda** · 09-07-2008, 11:55 AM

Is your ISP Road Runner by any chance?

**ghostENVY** · 09-07-2008, 12:21 PM

Its not Necessarily your ISP, It can also be your OS and your internet browser I.E. Max Connections Per Network , pipelining , windows registry etc.

**BinoPanda** · 09-09-2008, 05:20 PM

They also block access to rapidshare at peak times. Yay for corporate censoring.

**RoBz** · 09-10-2008, 05:40 AM

Wow I never knew BT capped all this...
Lame. I wonder though do they have the same policies here, in Ireland as the UK.

**twelve** · 09-10-2008, 06:02 AM

I would assume so. It's still BT regardless of where you are.

**AndyMosh** · 09-10-2008, 06:39 AM

Yes I am with BT, and if you download alot from rapid**** then it will cap but for me rapidshare is available 24/7.

**twelve** · 09-10-2008, 06:42 AM

lol maybe that's what it is then. RS is always going for me
