the "10 day" thing is for ADSL, doesn't apply to FTTC.

ahh ok cheers for the heads up

hmm my pings alittle higher than it was.



Some online games im hitting upto 100ms which is not so good, before the switch i was getting around 20-27 in all online games. I will need to have that looked into i think.

looking at the price for IDnet - eye watering !!

£40.20pm for 80/20 FTTC (broadband only)
and if you want elevated priority then add £12pm on top of that - of course if everyone takes that option then it makes a mockery of it.

can't say i see that a very good value for money.

@chenks - regarding the point about elevated priority, I see your point but there may be more to it than that, because of the detailed meaning of the term.

I have Andrews’ and Arnold + BT’s ‘premium’ elevated priority thing. Maybe IDNet has exactly the same thing as AA. Anyway, this is what I think / hope the AA deal is: (AA say that they do not have very detailed info themselves from BT.) Within the BT network between the ISP and the DSLAM, my traffic should take priority over non ‘premium’ traffic. AA say that if their own network is congested then they will drop non premium traffic first.

But to come back to your point. Indeed as you say if all customers buy the elevated priority thing and if it meant merely literally that and no more, then it would be pointless. One thing they could do though is to guarantee to buy extra burst capacity on demand from other providers, and have burstable links and so on. I did not express that very well at all, but I am hoping you get the idea. It could be linked to an guarantee of investment in running a non-congested network.

AA has in the past published stats for internal congestion in they own network. The last lot that I saw showed that they dropped zero premium packets due to congestion. It is not cheap running a totally uncontested network and the AA premium option is not cheap at all.

Idnet give me 60/18 up until 5pm then it drops to 45/18 this is worse than plusnet, if speeds dont increase soon then im off.

Plusnet always gave me a solid 62/18

I may need to try AAISP.

Is peak time congestion really still a thing with VDSL resellers?

@st3 If you're on a Huawei cab you may well be interleaved, you would of lost G. INP,  perhaps even the 3dB margin if you had them, these will all take time to get back.

@Ronski  The changes you mention would affect the sync speed but do not explain the slower throughput at peak times.

Have you logged this with them?

They have a choice of three Backhaul suppliers, so should be willing to move you to another backhaul supplier.

If you have moved recently and are on 30 day terms, you can even insist on it.

I am with Uno on TTB and no slowdowns over the past year on FTTC. Although I test the download speed every 2 hours, 24/7 I have noticed the odd blip where my max download is down a couple of meg. I am testing using files from TBB download pages and a server in Amsterdam. I then test the connection on Speedtest.net and it returns max speed of 73 mbits on closest server. Always puzzled me. The download speedtester is using multi thread testing same as Speedtest.net.

Ive just ran 3 more tests now im home from work and this is the result



I have saved speedtests with TBB for the last 6 months while with plusnet, even peak times my av speeds were 62/18

Why are they now reduced at peak times with idnet ?

Im paying extra for less.
