I can't find a smiley anywhere close to what I'm thinking.

Call your ISP and get them to turn it up a bit, someone must have knocked the speed dial.

i moved back from skeggy when i realised the speed of the net was so slow
(sorry couldnt resist)

All that means is that when you first switched your router on it "synced" with your local exchange at a given speed, given your line statistics at that time of day. As the day moves on and turns to night, interference on your line increases, and the rate at which your router "synced" initially, may have become unstable at that speed.

So, when you rebooted the router later on, it will have automatically re-connected at a lower but more stable speed, given your lines statistics/condition, at that particular instance.

This can sometimes be the case, when you are a fair way from your local exchange, and your line noise levels are more critical to your speed and viability, than when you are closer to your local exchange. :cool:

i think the exchange is in blackpool lmao
it was ****e when i lived there
even cable didnt go up that far so had no choice but bt and even then there was places still running without broadband (about 3 years ago when i left)

I am having speed problems = my neighbour next door says they have done a speedcheck at its 2340 Khps I did one and its 460 khps and the one just down the road is 185 Khps. I live quite a way from the exchange in the middle of Cornwall but why is there such a difference between neighbours!!!!

pages are taking ages to open today.its been no problem at all in last couple of weeks so i wonder if its the windy weather at present can that affect the speed.

havn't had this problem for ages until today.
anyone else having this problem.its taking ages for pages to open but only seems to be on sf.
