Internet Download/Upload Speeds...

[Franko]

I've been uploading hundreds of ADF files today, between 5pm & 10pm tonight all I was managing were upload speeds of between 450 to 560kbps.

But at around 2am this morning the upload speeds suddenly averaged 680 to 820kbps...

Still don't quite understand this as after speaking to Sky today to try and confirm that the IPlate I have ordered, would be ok to use, they insisted that where I live and the distance from the exhange, shows on all their tests that I shouldn't be able to achieve anything greater than 550kbps !!!

Received the IPlate today, easily installed but didn't work at first, needed to bend the connection pins up a bit, as they weren't making contact in the BT wall socket.

So far the speeds are still the same, but the leaflet that came with it says it may take up to 3 days for the exchange to automatically adjust to a higher bandwidth setting.

Just have to wait and see now if it lives up to the hype I've read about it, supposedly giving up to a third extra speed increase...

Just my luck...

Suddenly this morning my speeds dropped from 2.6mbps download to an average of 2.2mbps, and the uploads dropped way down from 600kps to only an average of 360kbps...

Ruddy thing seems to have done the reverse of what it was supposed to do ... :furious:

(now, where's my screwdriver...)
