going downhill fast, speed drops off dramatically in the evening and p2p being throttled now... better start looking elsewhere
Not what we usually see at all ???

Just read that myself coincidentally, he/she must be with a different IDNet to the one that I am with. ;)
My p2p certainly isn't being throttled and my speed stays constant all day long (so even BT are performing on my exchange!). LIke In' says, it must be a different IDNet!
The problem is that some people are having problems and we have seen some blame thier ISP when it is possibly caused by BTs upgrade programme or exchange contention.
BTW are not stupid when they insist that all complaints are dealt with through your ISP.
BT were very clever with their business model, the ISPs take all the flak (in some cased with just cause) and most people don't understand where the problems are occurring. If we are to have a decent level of service in the UK, BT are going to have to be forced to give an SLA on broadband which actually promises broadband. Given Ofcom's inability to work out whether it's day or night, I don't see that happening any time soon. :(
It'll just be an irate customer who has had speed problems of late Speeds don't drop off in the evening; it can be any time of day, which seems to suggest it's not an IDNet capacity issue. P2P is certainly not being throttled, either.
perhaps they should read this article and test

Isn't that libellous? :no:
Edit: Quote sorted
No, it's given as an opinion, Alf, so the only actionable aspect, I suspect, is the assertion the P2P is being throttled.

Lets sue him/her anyway, just for the fun. >:D
OK, will you hold him while I hit him or vice versa? ;D
I can sit on him ;D
If I sit on him it will save any need for violence. >:D
I'm bigger than you, so I should sit on him. :solved: :food: :choc: :food2: :fridge:
We'll both sit on him, Alf. That will make us a press gang... :grn: :out:
/me giggles.
I have an old CRT monitor that doesn't work properly. Can I throw it at him?
Only if you promise to miss Alf and me. :)
Humm... maybe I should get Colin to throw it then. My sense of direction isn't great.
Unless I throw it at him and then you sit on him?
Sounds like a plan, Danni. :)

Still think it was a sprurious posting
[attachment deleted by admin]
I think it was more posted in ignorance than anything. Got a problem but don't know how to fix it (can't be bothered to research), so blame the ISP. I hope they find someone else, and are happy there!
Could try my old provider Simon.Love to read a review from this person on the big T :)

Broadband is a difficult one, because so much of the time it's very difficult to see where the problem lies, be it with the user's equipment, BT, or the ISP.
Or the user
This isn't isolated to a single user, Alf. It happens on the time, and understandably so.
