Re: Fast Path on Connect

How do I tell what speed I am syncing at? I'm at work at the moment, is the sync speed the up/down speed that the router displays, rather than the speed shown on a speed test?

Ok, my stats are as follows

connection speed: 7616. 448
Attenuation: 28db 16db
Noise Margin: 15.4db 24db
do those stats seem ok for fastpath?

I don't actually have a master socket, I've checked before, I only have 1 socket which I have taken the face off but there is no other socket.
I have also tried to remove my bell wire but there was only 2 wires connected to the socket so i left it alone!
We live in a fairly old house.
edit: sorry got confused with test socket! I am in the master socket, I don't have a test socket

Trouble is that BT also traffic shape and you also may be experiencing that when you slip into peak hours as it seems a bit odd that you only experience it during the evening.
It could also mean that the whole BT network is just suffering from all the school kids getting home.
I noticed when they went back to school that the internet got a lot better during the day.

I know they shape heavy traffic, and I don't really mind having my speed throttled, if I am downloading something large I do it overnight.
Gaming is only tiny packets therefore should not need to be shaped and pings of over 200 are surely not acceptable.

Re: Fast Path on Connect

Silly question here but can someone explain the whole Fast path thing to me? I probably use my net 70% of the time for playing PS3 online. I'm on the connect package and I reckon it is quicker on my PS3 (not so much for lapyop mind) then when I was on the Mid package at my previous address.
