< Problems with upgrades to 8Mb ~ Max Best speed achieved to date

My downstream has always fluctuated wildly since i upgraded to the 8Mb service last November - once it even dipped below my fixed upstream speed,and was only 343Kbs. Shocked

I used to get random disconnections after upgrading when using the Speedtouch modem(with high speed driver),but this obviously doesnt happen now using the livebox.

Anyway....i have just had my highest reported downstream using 2 different speedtesters (thinkbroadband and speedtester.BT) at 6680Kbs. Very Happy

I know it wont stay as high as that for long though.

Is that on Max or LLU?

Whatever it is that speed is very good.

I average around 6.5mb on Max, hoping not to be put on LLU.

It does drop during peak times which is to be expected.

If they put you on LLU the best you are likely to get is 2.7 or if you are unlucky the dreaded 608.

That's why i am hoping not, read enough posts on here to know what could happen.

Quite happy being on Max.

Just checked up on my exchange and it is Max - also states that LLU is not available.
Now i just need to find out what LLU means. Confused

Life is not that simple - Orange do not publish details of where they have LLU.
LLU means very slow speeds.

Just tested mine on LLU:
Download Speed: 2059 kbps (257.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 206 kbps (25.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
This is supposed to be an up to 8mb service.

Simple way to tell if Max or LLU is Upload speed.
LLU is 288 Max is 448

Yep...my upload speed has always been constant at 376Kbps,so im on Max.

Just to highlight how wild my downstream fluctuation is....i done a test right now and it is down to 1320Kbps at the moment. Confused
