Hi everyone,

I'm pretty sure this is just a really oversubscribed UBR but posting in the hope of some advice.

My speed is 92Kbps on a 20 Mbps plan. It as always been this slow between 4PM and 4AM but recently the problem has occurred almost all the time.

Modem signal levels:
Downstream: 1.2 dBmV
Upstream: 39 dBmV

which seem normal. What points to the UBR is that a traceroute times out on the second hop (the first out of the 192.168.*.*). The area is full of university students and clearly oversubscribed, has anyone else experienced similar?

Would newsgroups be better to try and get to 2nd support first or slog it through the full on phone support?

Cheers.
