I have to disconnect and reconnect a dozen times till I get an IP with the full speed for my line @ 6mb.

Have to reconnect and run broadband speed test over and over till I get a decent one hitting 6mb most of the connections I do get dont even get 1mb!

Thats it now that I have it I'm not turning the router off again!

You...you mean to say that disconnecting and reconnecting til I get a different IP address WORKS?!

Shocked

*goes to try it*

What IP address does it need to give you for it to work? Or do they all begin with 84.

Had to go through at least 15 different IP pools before I got a fast one.

Disconnect/reconnect speed test, disconnect/reconnect speed test and so on till you find one with the max speed for your line... weird but works for me.

Nearly all of the connections I was getting could barely manage 512 kbps !! The one I got now is at 6mb and I will be hogging it for sometime as long as things don't disconnect on their own.

I remember I once had a 62.x.x.x address...back when it actually WORKED...

Now it's on LLU I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I will keep trying for a 62.x.x.x address though Very Happy

getting 84.x.x.x ones atm...

Thanks for this, I played around with the router testing different ips and got one that dl'ed at 6700kps vs the other crap ive been suffering with @ 300kps.

Hope it keeps working Laughing

It Works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Happy

IP starts with 84 and I'm getting 4.5mb at 6pm!
Usual was around 250kb at this speed and I only had to reconnect 3 times for it to pick up. How long do you keep an IP address for?

Cheers

Hmm tried this on the offchance it would work...

We seem to be getting somewhere. A shame, because I was hoping it would stay crap long enough for me to ditch these suckers as their contract would be void.

Still should be faster though >:[

Hi

Can you guys please explain exactly how you reconnect with different addresses? I'm desperate to fix this rubbish speed. My 'free' 8M is fine around 7am but always about 500k in the evening (anytime you actually want to use it!!). It was ok-ish before the LLU change too. This company is going to go pop like Enron, hopefully

grr

Hi

Log onto your livebox via the webpage http://configuration.adsl/
The very first page after logging in gives you the service status on Internet, phone and liveprinter.
Press the button change next to internet and then click disconnect. Then do the same thing again clicking reconnect. Then test your speed, repeat until a good speed is reached.

Cheers
