I might be speaking out my my A**. But has anyone got any ideas or explain why the below is happening?
Previous ISP Router sync rate 1152kbps max D/L rate achieved 120kB/s
Current ISP Router sync rate 1024Kbps max D/L rate achieved 60kB/s
(sorry for mixed units)
????
I have used Dan Ewells Broadband speed test program (Dan Elwell - www.broadbandspeedtest.net) To check the line. This program seems to do a good comprehensive check and confirms my crude results:
Good ping time
only 3 hops to Giganews (less than 7ms)
No packet losses.
Download rate from anywhere max'ed at 60kB/s
Checked out router mtu etc all ok... Like I said only difference is Eclipse (to my mind that is).
Now to me this suggests that I am being capped. As the hardware is exactly the same. Same house same exchange etc etc. Only difference I moved to Eclipse. I chose their highest option to ensure I achieved the 'best' bandwidth posible. Eclipse are taking 20min+ to respond to a phone call (thats if the line does not drop)
Ho hum
So any thoughts or experience in interpreting this issues folks
Help much apreciated!
