Shockingly slow broadband - Why?? Please Help.

Hi

I am with pipex and can get up to 2 meg normally and sometimes do so no problem.

The last few days I have been getting ultra slow speeds.

Ive ran anti spyware and anti virus and my Apple Mac on the same network runs slow too as does my Laptop.

I have rang my ISP and they say everything should be fine and they haven't throttled my connection or anything similar.

Has anyone a clue why this is happening? I would be gratfull for any pointers.
 
your local exchange could be very congested?
 
Well. Tiscali own them now, and they noticed you were enjoying your BroadBand experience; and they cant allow that!!!!

Go to http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/ and see if your exchange is congested. If it is then Pipex have no power whatsoever to force BT to upgrade. I spent 6 months of on/off problems until BT finally upgraded. If it isn't congested then keep on at Pipex. You'll have to do the usual of borrowing a modem etc to check it's not your equipement first, because if it is and BT find out during a home visit then it gets very expensive.

Lol - I hate Tiscali. Time to change my ISP me thinks.


Re exchange link (thank you) it states my VP is showing green. Taking it this means all is OK there?
