Losing the will to live... How did I survive on 9600Nps dial up? Oh that's right, I remember now as that is almost the service I am receiving

Is yours still returning to normal in the day?

Up until today, I would have said yes. However.....

its now school holiday's , tinterweb will be used more for next 6 weeks in daytime

Ahh, thought they finished next week. Deep joy At least my travelling times should inprove now though with all the school run vehicles of the road!!

About 8am this morning my speeds nosedived. Mt graph of the last few days (every 30 mins):

With the exception of this morning, that looks a similar(ish) shape to my (differently tested) results over a similar period, namely
{as an aide, note the consistant, non-collapsing uplink - imho this isn't congestion per se - it's prioritisation for limited bandwidth}

Methinks, at the moment, you are on a different Daisy gateway (easy to identify, but would achieve little really), hence my pipe is much happier than yours at the moment ....

This is a good example of why different people have issues at different times, or not at all - there are many variables involved - one being which gateway you are connected to ....
I know none of this helps your (well, our) situation(s) at all, but SSE effectively blaming your sync to the cabinet, which could be easily be eliminated by them having a thorough look at your router stats, is obviously not helpful in this situation. ...

PN had a similar problem with a congested gateway back when I first signed with them (so about 18 months ago) and you had to gateway hop to get off the bad one and onto a good one. Problem is, we don't know which one(s) is the bad one with SSE, so not a lot of point hopping.

That said, I have had to drop the session several times to gain access to the Tap3 tests and gain a BT ip address to test. I never checked what I was on before and what I was on after. But.... Last week when the speeds were great, I didn't have any disconnections, so it can onlt be that whatever I was on became as bad as the rest

mines flat out at the moment, wonder if its luck or sse have done something

Grrrrrrrr




Consistent packet loss now for the last few days as well (the 100% is where I disconnected for Tap3 testing):
