Weird Download and website Problems today

[Welshchris]

For some reason when downloading files from anywhere or loading websites the majority of the time files stop during download and sites wont fully load up at all. All was fine when i went to bed at around 1am this morning and now going to use the net this problem has arisen.

Mine's running a bit cruddy tonight, only getting about half the usual speed, seems to be a fair bit of packet loss.

Meh, first time in a while, I'll let them off ;)

Having (major) problems tonight. Connection usually flawless, but tonight struggling to open email attachments. Ping is appalling

nav007 - you've probably triggered the traffic management looking at how consistent those speeds are.

@Broadbandings - Would that explain the extremely latent pings though? :/

Could do, for some people it's quite unpleasant. Doing anything with the upload at the moment? You only have 192kbps / 24kB/s of it now...

Getting 0.01Mbps according to SpeedTest[dot]net

I did download quite a bit last night, but would've thought that the traffic management should have ended by now. Although i've got a feeling that it's probably something that can simply be fixed by rebooting the modem!

Sounds like something is eating that upload. Traffic management runs for 5 hours, so if you triggered at 8pm you're hosed until 1am.
