Looks a bit dodgy around mid-day.
I just posted in your old thread actually. My line has taken a MASSIVE hit.

I got the same blip today too.
For me too, though a far bigger hit for IPv4 than IPv6.
Speed-wise mine seems normal:

Just a brief blip for me it seems. 13Mb/s is a bit naff but it has been since November 15th and nothing I can persuade IDNet to look into.
Same blip here as well.
And here.
Seems to be an IDNet issue yesterday as none of the other ISP graphs show the same blip. Whilst on a vaguely related subject will IDnet offer the path of an FTTC upgrade to FTTP when it becomes available from OpenReach? They should seriously consider doing so IMHO to satisfy all those people that worry about their connection not running at its optimum, providing of course that IDNet's own network is up to the job :)x; though personally I've not yet found any use for my connection that is adversely affected if I suffer a speed drop from 34Meg down to 22 or so, nor by pings between my normal 16ms up to say 50ms or so, both of which happen occasionally! And on a more serious note, as IDNet's USP is the quality of their network as they tell us, then surely you need FTTP to be as sure as you can be (without having your own dedicated fibre link) of getting the benefit?
I do think we need to remember that although we pay a "premium" to IDNet, OpenReach only receive the same payment as they do for the lowest "cheap as chips" connection for the same type of DSL. FTTP takes the vagaries of DSL out of the equation, what everyone wants. You gets what you pay for, as with everything in life. More beer and less data keeps me quite happy ;D.
My connection is well and truly ARSE tonight. Taking ages to load pages, some load without images. Facebook I can't seem to post to unless I repeatedly try. Just randomly downloaded a file and checked the speedtest and my download is still at a 13mb drop of 22 and upload has lost just under 3mb.
Loving this so far ::)

Mine still seems fine so it seems it's local to you. Have you unlocked your modem yet? If you can get the stats it might tell us something but at the moment I'm guessing your previous line problems have followed you to FTTC. That's a bummer but in theory easier to fix if you can get BT to take it seriously.
No problems at all at my location but I can at least one other connection that did have an outage.
Have you tried a reboot of your modem and router Niall and see if that helps?
I've rebooted the router but not the modem. I shall go give the little button a prod now.
Hmm, powered the modem down, reconnected and now pages load fine. Still lost 13mb though. Ho hum.
