547701 2007-05-06 10:12:00 Is it just me? My Vista system used to reliably do 2.6 Mbps on my 2 Mbps account but now it is at 800-900 Kbps. (Yes, have rebooted and re-powered the modem and even did a system restore from a few days ago).

I rang Help but the voice said unfortunately we are receiving large numbers of calls etc so I hung up.

547702 2007-05-06 11:45:00 Seems to have 'fixed' itself but is erratic from 1.4 to 2.5 Mbps says he, talking to self! linw (53)
547703 2007-05-06 14:21:00 Reliably? From what source? Chilling_Silence (9)
547704 2007-05-06 20:36:00 I was getting disconnected every 10 minutes or so last night, it was very frustrating. When the net did work, only had had a partial connection. Couldn't get http, or ftp. Experienced high-ish pings to NZ servers which are typically fast (250-300ms) and a speed drop from 4.5mbps from Orcon's freehost server, to about 800kbps. jermsie (6820)
547705 2007-05-06 20:46:00 Not me. Still cruising along at between 600-800KB/sec. No disconnects at all Big John (551)
547706 2007-05-06 20:50:00 I was fine, no problems at all :) Chilling_Silence (9)
547707 2007-05-06 22:11:00 This morning I am getting around 2.2Mbps which is slower than previously but not too bad from a 2Mbps account I guess. I think they (or Telecom??) must have been having network problems.

I note that you can't get usage data. "We're making some network upgrades over the next week which means that the online data checker will be unavailable during this time. Unfortunately our contact centre won't be able to give you an update on your data usage either".

547708 2007-05-07 10:45:00 Spoke too soon. Speed now down to 6-700Kbps. This is ridiculous. It's beginning to look like circuit overload at nights. Probably why the speed is erratic as well. The only network status report is from the 5th - wonder why they leave irrelevant reports posted? I've emailed for an explanation so will see what they say. linw (53)
547709 2007-05-07 10:47:00 I'm currently downloading OpenOffice over Xtra BB @ average speed of 10-14KB per sec....pretty slow. winmacguy (3367)
547710 2007-05-07 10:50:00 And now its starting to go slow on dialup.

The forum was slow before but now its twice as slow.
