Thread: Lost connection :: AOL :: think broadband

Your exchange is showing as being congested unfortunately, which is probably the cause of your low speeds - http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/?exchange=Oswest... My exchange isn't though, and that can be seen by the fact I'm now getting almost the full 7Mb! That's the fastest I've seen at this time of night; normally it's around 1 - 1.5Mb; sometimes up to 3 - 4 if I'm very lucky. It was...

That's interesting because we're still on the old Gold package (currently 4Mbps) with a line sync of 7.6Mbps, yet we haven't had a speed go beyond 4Mbps ever. I wonder if there's a difference between how the old Silver and Gold packages are handled.

Same for me too.

I just dropped to 800k and after 30 minutes now back up to 4.9MB.At 6pm tonight I was on 7.6MBs Pete Formally known as BB4Grimsby National award winner for Broadband Campaigning

Seriously, 2am and it's only just starting to stabilise, what the hell. I personally am waiting until the 12th for that work on my exchange, then'll be requesting my MAC. I've been checking out BE and their value plan and from what I've seen in their section on this forum, they seem great.

My exchange only has about 700 users and there is no LLU at all. It would be interesting to know what exchanges exist with low numbers of users and indeed what sort of low numbers of users the smallest exchanges support?

speed is about 0.7Mb for me right now. At 4pm that's pathetic for even AOL.

In reply to a post by chefbyte : Touch wood I am getting a sweet connection at 7MBs for the last month now Lucky you, don't expect it to last m8, AOL does this then you may have 2-3 day sof bad services every 6 months or so, then all good again
