Speeds slowed right down recently

[mxw]

I have been fairly happy with my speeds these last few months, but the last few days have been very erratic, and last 24 hours or so have slowed right down to a crawl. I can't even get a speed test done.

The info taht you provided shows that the line is in specification. Cannot see any thing wrong with it. please do a few speed test at www.exetel.com.au/speeds for us to actually see how much speeds you are getting.

Hmm well it's better right now - 1.90 Mbps - still not anywhere near what I've been used to, but I guess "within specs". Last 12 hours have been shocking however. Very erratic. I'll see how it goes next 24 hours or so. Thanks.

Well I'm still dragging along like a slug here... Can't even get a speed test done. It's erratic, sometimes faster, but more often than not slowed up to a crawl. Is there a general congestion problem? Or am I being throttled? What's up?

As Shone, line stats appears to be within specs. However, there are few upgrades that's scheduled to be completed with our supplier during next week. I hope the service will become much better once these have been completed .

Kindly note that the scheduled time frame has given by our supplier and there could be potential delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

Speedtest = 7.18 Mbps

Now that's more like it! Thanks.

Is there maintenance being down right now? Because all of a sudden (last 40mins or so) I'm back to a craaaaaaaaaaaaaaawl....

I'd like to know too. My connection's been capped to 80 KB/s total (on the 8000/384 ADSL1 unlimited plan).

Similar situation for me here in Sydney. On ADSL2+ unltd plan, working from home today and have noticed speeds are a bit down.

Speedtest result:


Sync speed seems good:


Wondering if i should log a ticket....

Thanks for the quick reply, shoner!

I too have speed problems. Usually I can download at 600KBps now I max out on 50KBps. Browsing, streaming and gaming are almost unusable.
I'm paying excess for offpeak usage so it's unusal to think exetel is capping/throttling again.

Please do help.

I have the same problem, with speed being capped at around 80KB/s.

The slow down started after midnight. It was fine on Aug 24.

Edit: And seems fixed right after I posted this. Amazing.

Ditto - 80KB - 100KB/s seems to be the magic limit.
Hopefully its a hiccup and not shaping

Looks like mine's back to normal as well



Thanks to whoever did something!
