I'd complain several times about a 'shitty connection' because it'd disconnect me from the IRC or similar stuff. But now it has gotten really really shitty.

Since a while, the speeds are being terrible. Speedtest.net shown me speeds of 0.25Mpbs down and 0.75Mbps up. The upload speed is about normal, however the download speed is terrible. The worst part being that we're paying for 2Mbps.

And now, all requests to any site hosted on Dirbaio's server seem to get nowhere, and Firefox just says 'connection reset'. This is annoying because my board is hosted on Dirbaio's server, and thus I'm locked out of it.

However, I can access Dirbaio's server fine if I use a proxy.


So I came to wonder: have I reached some limit I'm not aware of, or is it just Wanadoo/Orange having technical issues? I'd like to know people's thoughts on that matter too.


In the meantime I'm using my phone's internet. It's fast (over 4Mbps down), but it'll get throttled if I download over 250MB of data. It also seems that if I make too many new connections within a certain timespan, it'll make me wait a while before letting me make new connections again. Persistent connections, like IRC, are fine, though.

I know it's getting a bit better, but any improvement since we talked last? Like I said on IRC I think there may be a line problem somewhere that may be part of why it's acting how it is. DSL and line noise just doesn't work well.

Eventually you may have to say something if it continues :(

Atleast I can access Dirbaio's server again now. That was likely one of FT's servers failing or something.

The download speed is still lame, though. It occasionally spikes to 1Mbps (still half of what we're paying for), but the average is under the average upload speed.

I'll wait some more days, but if that shit continues I'll make sure we talk to the ISP about that. Come on, when you can't even watch a 240p Youtube video without it pausing to buffer, there's something wrong!

Relatedly, something interesting to do would be testing my phone's connection. I reached the data cap, so let's see how much they throttle...

132Kbps down. They're pretty aggressive. May be due to poor signal quality here, though...

Ahhh. Well the access issue is bad when it's your own stuff so that's good.

Sounds like a good plan.. and 132kbps? from '3G' or '4G' speeds?

3G I think.

Also, I did more speed testing today. First test showed lots of spikes to 1Mbps, second test was rather regular. In the end both yielded 0.30Mbps. More and more lame.

I might tell my parents about it, but then there are two possible scenarios I'm fearing:
a) they turn out to not give a shit about it because they haven't noticed it themselves. Nothing gets done and we continue being scammed with a lame connection (until FT notices and fixes it, which could take ages)
b) the slowdown turns out to come from throttling because some dumb data cap was reached. Would really suck, because I'm the one being the most annoyed by the slowness, and I'd be the one made responsive for reaching a data cap I was unaware of. However I don't think so. The spikes to 1Mbps seem to indicate it's more like some server being overloaded or some connection being lame.
