I wondered if anyone else here was having problems with TalkTalk speeds this evening?
ADSL2+ connection, been up for 20 days, synch speed of 20201 down, 1020 up.
Today I noticed some web pages taking a long time to load, some seemingly timing out. (Possibly last night as well).
speedtest.net shows a throughput of 3.97Mbps down!
The graph shows a peak at start of around 5Mbps, fluctuating up and down (but never very high) ultimately tailing off. With my synch speed I'd expect throughput of around 16Mbps.
A reboot of the PC, the network switch and finally the router did not change anything.
After the reboot, I've now got a line speed of 20201 down, 1020 up, but a throughput of 3.63Mbps according to speedtest.net
It also seems that pings are a bit variable
ping to
www.google.co.uk :
Timings pretty much 29-32 ms but 4 out of 32 timed out.
After the reboot I tried a few more, 1 out of 12 timed out, out of the 11 successful pings, 10 were around 29-32 ms as before, but one was 271ms.
Something isn't right :/
Anyone else on TalkTalk seeing this? Any thoughts what might be up or what else I could try?
