This is very strange.
I cant test teh BT speed tester at all, havent been able for 2 weeks or so. My connection apart from last weeks we problem has remained stable for that time at 6mb - ish but the past two nights I't's dropped at precisely 5pm to it's current 2.6-3mb!

router shows good snr (6db) and a sync rate at

exchange (dalkeith) shows green for congestion.
Tried test socket makes no difference.
I would guess not traffic shaping but BT related exchange congestion. Idnet will know the your exchange capacity status more accurately than the exchange checker.
I'd agree. Steve. If it were a deliberate action, we'd have widespread reports.
Interestingly AAISP still admitting to 20CN congestion at the peak evening periods
I noticed that...
Their off-peak pricing at £3 per unit for 100GB, made them one of the best value 20CN ISPs for heavy usage. Unsurprising it's not sustainable, hence the congestion and unit pricing changes from April onwards.
