Another huge speed drop

[wayneunique]

I wonder if a mod could help but I was previously get a download speed of about 37mbps but for the past three days my speed has dropped to about 3mbps.

I've done the BT speedtest and they say my IP profile is 38055 kbps

Also done a test on Speedtest.net and my speed comes out at 3.22mbps while the upload is 8mbps. The modem and homehub has been rebooted a few times to see if that helps but no joy.

Help me please

Hi,

Were the speedtests done wired or wireless? Can you run a test at www.speedtester.bt.com connecting using an Ethernet cable and paste a screenshot of the results here please?

Hi,

Here is a screenshot of the result, which is done on a wired connection.

Cheers

Have you contacted the help desk?

On that test you'll see that it invites you to carry out an additional test. Have you done so? In order to do it you need to change he username in your home hub to speedtest@speedtest_domain then run the additional test.

Webby, I've tried to change the username in the homehub set up but it wouldn't allow me to. Also, I've not contacted the helpdesk as of yet as I wanted to see if it improved over a few days, which it hasn't.

[Webby]

What was the problem with changing it? Did you click the disconnect button first? If you do that it should allow you to change the username and click reconnect

Webby, I've logged in with the other username, run the other test but at the end of it an error came up. I've now tried this a few times but with no joy. I might now leave it until the morning.

Please raise a fault with your service provider, stating that the BT Performance Tester tool indicates poor service throughput performance after the third test.

It looks like I'll be using the web form to contact someone regarding this
