You can use these maps to cross check what sync speed you should be getting compated to other people in your area. http://www.tpg.com.au/maps/ I had a _very_ similar case to you elevated to Level 2 support twice. they said that they were clueless as to what was causing the problem until I said I would go elsewhere. In my case I'm on the Business Unlimited plan at work. It is speed limited to 1M/1M between 7pm and 7am and unlimited in speed (dependant on line sync) and download quantity the rest of the time. I had a Billion 7404VNOX that I think was causing some problems. I swaped that out to a Netgear DGN2000 for the purposes of testing. Im my case I was downloading faster during the speed limited times than during the day. Downloading Tpg's speed test iso (http://www.tpg.com.au/test3.iso) Also on the weekend I could download at the maximum rate. Best of luck in dealing with TPG's support, I had to hold their hand through the process, they kept on expecting me to 'reboot the router - hey look it's fixed' when it failed. I humbly suggested that was unreasonable. Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
