1397828 2015-04-01 09:15:00 Hey i notice towards the end of the month the internet speed slows down to dial up like speed . This lasts for say 26 /27 and then suddenly picks up speed .

I have checked that im not using more than my 80gb of data by a chat with spark and my own computer networx software .

Could it be the isp it self doing this and not telling us . I'm with Spark .

Yes all devices - laptops , computer , ipod touch and smartphone is affected i have seen .

Its probably the busiest time for the internet so it slowing down is probably the masses using it (businesses) and not really an ISP trick but just shows they can barely handle the capacity.


It could however been limited due to the flooding at that time just to handle it all and still ensure people stay connected.

Cheers,

1397831 2015-04-02 05:28:00 I still believe its flooding of the net. End of the year, end of the month, new laws in place, new changes happening. Even I'm affected and I'm not with spark but it is a very busy time.

It should sort itself in the coming days but so much changes are happening at this period I believe its just the mass chaos going on. Give it time and see if things return and maybe read any new t&c cause a lot got updated too.

Cheers,

1397832 2015-04-02 06:13:00 Is it a common billing period? maybe people rushing to use up their cap?
Also any time it's school holidays things get worse.
