20mb Speeds S.Gloucs Chipping Sodbury/Yate

[gavinlew]

Hi All,

I posted last year about speed issues in Yate/ Chipping Sodbury on the 10mb service, this all resolved itself.

However, the service has become once again unusable since the 20mb upgrade especially at peak times (I am aware of traffic shaping, however I always maintain a 768k upload).

I have tried changing the upstream channel on my Motorola Surfbaud - however, the webpage just times out when submitting the changes , does changing the upstream help any more?

I'm using a WRT54G router with DD-WRT firmware loaded on it, and the PC's all have QOS applied to them ; DDWRT setting available if wanted.

You don't want to see the blindingly impressive results on a 24mb BE* line I have access too (just makes me want to cancel VM and move away)
