speed issues

[Andrew]

Hi,


is anyone else having speed issues at the moment? It seems to be about
half
the speed id usually expect for the last 4 days or so....

I'm on Virgin broadband and that has been fine for Internet speed, but the
email is still extremely flaky following their recent "improvements".

Not noticed a problem with email myself (but i dont use it that often as i
have my own accounts).
I did an adslguide speed test and not getting good results at all ... as
follows:

Downstream 136 Kbps (17.0 KB/sec) 146 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 243 Kbps (30.4 KB/sec) 262 Kbps (inc. overheads)


That is with nothing else running on my Connection.

This is mine at 16.18 Sunday

Downstream 466 Kbps (58.3 KB/sec) 503 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 246 Kbps (30.8 KB/sec) 265 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Well your upstream doesn't look too bad, but the more important downstream
results are awful. I'm currently showing ...

Downstream 477 Kbps (59.6 KB/sec) 515 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 247 Kbps (30.9 KB/sec) 266 Kbps (inc. overheads)

Looks like you've got a bottleneck somewhere Andrew.

Just set my network card to 100mbit/full duplex instead of auto negotiate...

an improvement:

Downstream 354 Kbps (44.3 KB/sec) 382 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 252 Kbps (31.5 KB/sec) 272 Kbps (inc. overheads)


Ill try change the settings on my routers switch now ....

Im connected to a 100mbit switch that cannot be managed ..... the router
down stairs
has settings to change each port.

Here goes ;-)

Not much of an improvemnt really .....
back to the drawing board ;-).


Thanks for input !Andrew

I have DU Meter constantly monitoring my network speed (PC to ADSL
Router).

Normal speed when downloading files (from the Internet) is around a
steady 60kB/sec.

Sometimes (usually evenings) the speed graph shows erratic speeds,
30kB/sec or less.

My newsreader, which has its own speed indication, confirms what DU
Meter is showing. A reverse trace looks OK at the moment. I'll try
again next time I see a slowdown.

This reverse trace was taken at 10pm Friday, while download speed was
erratic. Not much difference. There must be a problem between me and
