Hi,
I just changed over to the bb4 server from bb3 and got a marked improvement.

BB3....

BB4....

Either way Freeserve sold me a baguette with ham, mustard and tomatoes, yet dlivered half a slice of dry toast.

I've just about had enough.

11:36AM That's better.

Have they just sold too many accounts on this pipe and peak times are choking it?

Cheers

UNABLE TO CONNECT

Then try this: remove @fs from user name and replace with @bb2.freeserve.co.uk

The fs gateway is a `virtual gateway` just putting you on the `actual gateway` which has the least traffic on it at a particular time.
The actual gateways being - BB,BB1,BB2,BB3,BB4

My login is
XXXXXX.wanadoo.co.uk@fs
so is the above still relevant

Also is there any way of telling which gateway you've connected to from your IP address? My download speeds have gone back down to what they were before I was upgraded (I am still in my training period), so I need to hit that lucky gateway again if I can and get my decent speeds back

It is a way of connecting if you are having problems. But does not work every time.

As for chasing the gateway for a better speed - I do not think that is going to work. As stumpy posted it was short lived.

I've just rebooted my router and although my IP profile has gone from 4500 to 4000. I have much better throughput speeds now
