Probably saturation at the exchange itself. Lots of people getting infinity and downloading s**te like crazy.
Very true. Surprised it hasn't dropped your ADSL sync all together.
ADSL2+ whitepaper said:Factors that may affect performance
While the speeds indicated on this graph show the theoretical maximum speed of the various ADSL protocols on good copper lines - with no bad joints, faulty insulation, or high speed 'interferers' (such as bridge taps or loading coils). Your actual achieved speed may vary substantially from these theoretical results, based on:
The most effective way to improve ADSL2+ performance is to have a licensed cabler install a good quality central splitter (available from Internode) in your premises.
- the 'line profile' that is operative on your service.
Internode places new Easy Broadband services on a conservative initial profile that constrains maximum download speeds, in order to achieve the highest possible connection stability. Customers may then change (online) to any other line profile, at any time, and at no cost, to explore the tradeoff between speed and connection stability that applies for their individual situation.- the length of copper wire from your premises to the exchange - this is always higher than the distance 'as the crow flies'.
- the number and type of other digital services being used by other customers over copper pairs within the same cable sheath.
- the configuration and line quality of the copper wire between the exchange and your premises.
- electrical interference from outside sources (such as electric motors).
- the configuration of the copper wiring within your premises (i.e. use a central splitter for optimal performance).
- the software configuration and application on your computer (in particular how it uses the uplink back to the exchange).
- your ADSL hardware.
- the capacity of, load on, and access data rate of the destination host computer which you are accessing.
Sky and BT have said they have finished upgrading our local exchange...
