Very slow speeds

[N30N_F15H]

Hi,

For the past few months my internet connection has been terribly slow. I have tried all of the isolation tests, new cable and filters and even a new modem - and none of these have fixed the slow speeds.

My household relies heavily on this internet connection, and I've been letting it go telling everyone that it would probably be a temporary problem and get it would better soon. Just browsing the web is extremely hard and downloading anything is nearly impossible as it seems to cut out, leaving corrupted downloads.

Here are some pings to Exetel

Any help on this issue would be appreciated. If there's anymore info I can provide let me know.

how many computers are using this connection?

[N30N_F15H]

If you're referring to time of testing it was just 1 computer.

If you're referring to time of testing it was just 1 computer.

and the others are the same I take it?

the high ping, slow downloads etc can sometimes be because of malware, virus etc running in the background, if you have multiple PC's and they are all behaving the same though then it could be something else at play

[N30N_F15H]

Yes it's the same on all of the computers sadly. I thought you were checking that no one else was using the internet while i did the tests.

That last ping was done about 10pm and now I've just done this one and the result is a lot better. It still seems to jump around a bit though. Congestion at the exchange maybe?

Those pings are still a little high. I'd suggest logging a fault as there may be a routing or port issue at play.
