Sorry to repeat what I said in the other thread, but a speed test without your current sync speed and interleaving status doesnt mean much.

I didnt mean to seem curt, just read a lot of people talking about "used to" and "always got" results recently and then quoting speed tests with no info about their line.  :)

With Plusnet this was your line profile. Switching should have set you to interleaving. 2 days later retransmission (G.INP) should return.
It might take another week or 2 to return to 3dB.

The drop in speed during your switch is expected. It's automatic DLM changes.

Current line stats would help accurately determine the current line profile.

Thanks for the info john, well i only have a Asus router connected to Huawei HG612 and im not able to get stats.

I would need to request another GEA to see what they show.

Gaming is almost unplayable since switching, im getting lag/high pings in 3 steam games i play alot, before the switch they all ran fine.

Maybe i need to give it sometime, i thought id switch and my connection would be the same as it was with plusnet.

I will see how things go over the next month, if things dont pick up then im moving as its not feeding my needs ;)

Gaming and netflix is about all i use it for and i not paying extra for the gaming package when plusnet basic 80/20 ran games fine most of the time for cheaper.

Main reason i leave ps if for better support, which atm idnet reply within 12 hours which is cool but they aint found any issues yet they say im getting solid 60/18 and i must wait a 2-3 days for my connection to relax.

i can wait and see if things pickup....... im just hoping they do otherwise i will have to move on, just looked and im getting 49/17 now.

. Best Effort Test:

Download Speed : 61.02 Mbps

2. Upstream Test:

Upload Speed : 13.76 Mbps



Your speed test has completed and the results are shown above, however during the test an error occurred while trying to retrieve additional details regarding your service. As a result we are unable to determine if the speed you received during the test is acceptable for your service. Please re-run the test if you require this additional information.

Taken from http://speedtest.btwholesale.com

Only shows me what i got during this test and didn't show what my max was which is odd because it worked on plusnet, could this be because ive just switched ?

You are likely already aware that there are known issues with some browsers, in particular Firefox when using the BTw Performance Checker, while still prefering Firefox as my normal browser I always use "Pale Moon" to run my BTw performance testing, some other browsers are OK also not sure exactly which.

For a few months at the end of last year a lot of people, myself included, found that the BTw Performance Tester (regardless of browser used) would not progress to "additional diagnostics" as you have described, this appeared to be fixed and I certainly have not had any further failures to date, always run to check my DS IP profile.

you need flash installed to use it, which is insanity considering how virtually no-one would consider using it these days.
almost all browers now block flash by default, only bad browsers would have it enabled without user input first.

the fact that it's being killed by its owners is an admission that its gone on too far.
what was once a good multimedia creativity tool turned into a platform for serving ads and opening up your system to attacks.

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.

We still do:

Idnet told me the backhaul network is via BT Wholesale and a line test had passed without any signs of a fault, i did ask for a copy of the gea test but they aint sent me one, so ive asked again.

Speeds are still hit and miss

The Huawei HG612 is easily unlocked to see the detailed line statistics. No need for the ISP to run a GEA test just to see your line profile.

Plusnet GEA tests give a DLM line profile that is 13 days old. If that's the same with other ISP's then it would be a waste of time anyway as the line isn't even 13 days old.

I raised this twice on the Plusnet forum but the comment was just ignored.

I wonder if it would be better to just buy a modem/router and do away with the Huawei HG612

So i moved from plusnet due to the support which i found poop, now im with idnet who offer decent support. The only downside i found is im getting much higher pings in online gaming.

I was with plusnet 7 years and my pings were 20-30ms in all eu servers, now i get 40-90ms i dont understand how a simple switch to a new isp and now i have large pings. Also i had 64/18 with plusnet and now have 61/18 with idnet.

Idnet seam fine unless you're an online gamer from what ive seen so far.

I may have to switch isp after my first month.
