Yep, seems good. Thanks.

Cheers fopr your comments on the GCSE stuff.

The thing is with my son is he does need to put the work in because at his current level it will be the difference between B/C's and 'U's

Fair enough mate - all people are different I spose - soz

 

[Korma2]

Hmm..well the all websites are working normally, but using the speedtest on adslguide.org im getting slow speeds.

first time 593kbps download (this is roughly a 0.5mbps connection) and second time around 960kbps (this is roughly a 1mbps connection), the only other thing running was msn messenger but no activity on it.

I used to get very good results on this test before, (around 235kbps real download speed).

Could any of you check and see what your getting?

Thanks

Hi Mate

Just did the test and got this:

Mine was down a few on the speedtest too, nothing critical but not as fast as normal.

 

[Korma2]

Hmm..thats wierd, you seem to be doing fine, your test results are normal.

With me its not a few kbps difference, on average im getting like 140-ish kbps download speed results. Its very strange, as before this new year glitch my connection always got the maximum speed.

Any ideas guys?

could be just contension on your line, i mean its a bank holiday people are all at home surfing the net so could just be traffic mate.

 

[FarFarAway]

And if not then e-mail IDNET again

 

[Korma2]

Ah yes i guess it could be due to the bank holiday traffic, well since it hasnt gone down to 56k speeds. Ill hold out untill the end of the week. If it hasnt gone back to normal ill email IDnet.

Thanks guys

@korma

Have you checked your exchange status @ Sam Knows?

Also bypass IDNet and connect direct to the BT Speedtester and see if it's the same.

Mine's sweet now:

Ah i had problems too - Was wondering if it was just me. I got around it by using googles web accelerator, which i think is just a proxy too. It doesn't let you use it for anything secure tho so i couldn't log it to post + let you all know. worth remembering in case it ever happens again..

Just thought I would add my tuppence worth to this thread.

Still waiting for MAC code from old provider which will be a stern phone call tomorrow.

GCSE did not exist when I was at school, I am showing my age here as we had GCE's and CSE's- the latter is what you took if you thought you might not pass the GCE's and it all depended on revision as they WERE hard.

The sad thing is I have only really used one of them so far in my current job- O level German.

there you jo said my bit , and I will get off my sopabox now.

Was anyone else getting disconnected a lot yesterday? almost certain it's my flakey modem or my flakier wiring, but thought i'd check before fiddling too much.

 

[FarFarAway]

No mine wasn't bad all day mate

Been getting strangely slow download speeds - previously the service has been excellent.

I'll contact them and see if there's a problem.
