Same problem here in perth, very low speed for the last few days, especially after 5pm.

My modem stats:


Connection Status Connected
Us Rate (Kbps) 783
Ds Rate (Kbps) 15469
US Margin 16
DS Margin 6
Trained Modulation ADSL_2plus
LOS Errors 0
DS Line Attenuation 34
US Line Attenuation 19
Peak Cell Rate 1846 cells per sec
CRC Rx Fast 47
CRC Tx Fast 2
CRC Rx Interleaved 0
CRC Tx Interleaved 0
Path Mode Fast Path

and a speed test i just did now at 7.30pm
Speed is usually even slower than that, browsing is very slow and online gaming isn't possible.

Am having similar problems.. good speeds during the day (5 - 7 mbps) and then at night dropping to around 1mbps with large amounts of packet loss. Have opened a ticket with help desk and a technician changed my profile to a more stable one but problem still persists.. tried isolation test, new cables, etc...

I might be experiencing the same thing. I haven't done a speed test during the day, but past 2 nights I haven't been able to play Halo and when I've done a speedtest I've gotten <1Mbps.

WTF? This is after like a week of random drop outs.

and a ping test at about 8pm:

Your current bandwidth reading is:

458.90kbps

which means you can download at 57.36 KB/sec. from our servers.


this is at 2.24am but it has been at these speeds since about 9pm I don't understand why it gets slower the later I'm on?
also I'm not using any p2p and all my modem settings are correct???? the strange thing is it only started happening 2 days ago.
Any one got any ideas?????

I did a speed test this morning at 11am. It is a lot better, speed a bit lower than what it is supposed to be but i would be happy if I had that kind of download speed 24/7. So why i have good speed during the day untill 5pm, then the connection and speed degradate???

[Pyroteq]

My speeds the past 2 nights have been extremely poor as well.

Right now it's ok, but it's still lower than I've gotten in the past (I used to get 6.5-7.5Mbps download with 600-750Kbps upload)



I'll be posting my speed test results every 2 or so hours to see how it goes tonight.

If I'm getting <1Mbps again tonight I'll be changing providers, this is getting ridiculous.

[adrianadrian]

Same situation here. Speeds back to around the 7mbs mark during the day, fall below the 1mbs mark after 5pm. This cycle has been going on for a few days now..

[Pyroteq]

Still ok here. I'll update again at 7pm or if my speeds drop.

[Pyroteq]

7:45pm...



Pretty terrible...

Here's hoping it'll get better.

[Pyroteq]

8:30

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong on my end considering these speed drops are getting worse as it's getting later.

This is obviously a problem with either Exetel or Telstra.

[Pyroteq]

9pm

Looks like I'll be churning real soon...

[Pyroteq]

Bye.

Bye.

It will be interesting if you could let us know which ISP you go with, that fixes your problem.
