Hello there, over the last few months my internet has gone downhill.
I pay for 76Mbps down and i think 24mbps up, however in the last few months it has been decreasing alot. I never actually ran at speeds of 76mbps but i was getting around 60mbps witch i was satisfied with, but then i started to run at around 36mbps and i wasn't too happy about that however i didnt mention it to the isp until it got to the point were i am now getting 5-6mbps!!! Its absolutely awfull.
When i rang the ISP which is BT by the way, they said that i should switch between channels 1 and 6, as the current channel i was running (11) was "congested". So i tried this and.. wow... it went up to 16mbps, it was a slight improvement but bloody hell, for what I'm paying for, it is awful. Anyway, it only lasted at that speed for a few days until it dropped back to around 5mbps, it gets so bad sometimes that i struggle to load the internet page that i have to go on to change the channel of my router
Extra Info -
Been with this ISP for around 1year and 6months now i believe, The internet problems started to occur only once we renewed the contract after the first year.
I am With BT, i have the BT Infinity fibre Optic Package, 76Mbps down
The upload speed has not been affected and is often higher than the download speed.
I also have a friend who lives about a mile away from me who has the same package, he gets around 70mbps.
ALSO: Probably worth mentioning that i run on a wireless connection. I have done so since i got this broadband. i am unable to run a wired conection.
