Malcolm Robinson Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Anyone else noticed a dramatic decline in their connection speed over the last few days? Is it the weather?

mercuryg Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 MalcolmTwo days ago there was an 'outage' in Scotland that affected the North East; anyone using BT lines (which is just about everyone no matter who your ISP is) could have experienced a slow down. I rang my ISP to find out what the problem was and was given that information. It is now fixed.
Malcolm Robinson Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks merc, funnily enough when my friends had that trouble a week ago mine was unaffected? Last couple of days its snail mail early in the mornings? Takes ages just to load up e-mail never mind opening sites.

TonyC Posted November 14, 2010 Report Posted November 14, 2010 After taking the test my speed is 12 mbps. my internet provider just doubled the speed on mine for no extra cost
Monsta® Posted November 14, 2010 Report Posted November 14, 2010 Shocking the uk is listed as 30th in the top download speeds list 0.01 faster than lietchenstien....

Mornings used to be about the best time for speedy downloads now it seems evenings are?
Malcolm Robinson Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Posted November 14, 2010 I did phone the Microsoft helpline...........
