Over the last couple of days I have noticed my downloads speeds have really got poor.
Downloading now at 300kbs. Through the night after midnight through ftp I was getting 13 meg last night i was getting 350kbs.

Is anyone else noticing the same problem ?

This for HU6 area

Yep, I'm on max option 2, I've never really had a problem with speeds, always got around 2 meg during peak hours, 8 meg during the day, now I'm lucky to get 1 during peaks hours, and was getting about 3-4 this morning.

exactly the same here, HU6, Option 2.

Peak speeds not worth bothering with, can't do anything remotely demanding.

Can't stream iPlayer for around 5 weeks.  Karoo say I am the only customer with the problem!

HU5, Karoo Max Option 2.

iPlayer & any video on BBC is impossible after about 5pm. Youtube takes forever to load up videso. Online games are also a big no-no, far too slow on an evening.

lol dont bother moaning about speeds


first off they will want a screen shot

upon which they will reply "its showing your connected at 1x,xxxkbps - it MUST be a virus on your system, have you scanned recently, u need to update u know, your firewall is set wrong obviously, and how do u know, do u run it 24/7 to see you get speeds at other times, and all customers in the forum are liers, honestly we have no trouble here not us no never, you should be happy with what u get!"


sorry what was the post?
