sloooooow internet wtf :(

[Spark]

seriously wtf is this about, i tested my moms pc too and its the same speed.
we're with entranet. we could of gone over our limit but as far as i know they just charge you more money not cut the speed.
tried restarting the router etc too.
and we have an offical tonight..... ;'(

[Lykaios]

Most likey your exchange is overloaded or ISP is overloaded.

What does your router say its current sync speed is ?

[Up]

No idea how to fix or what's going on but it really feels like we were not destined to play our official tonight.

[Monkeh]

Ping of 42 = OK to play?

[Paranoia]

It's unlikely that ping could be sustained, Monkey, as TF2 will require more bandwidth than (apparently) the connection can provide.

Seeing what your sync speed is would be relevant, but also, unless you experience this daily (most likely to be around 4pm onwards) then it's most likely a fault. Might be worth enquiring with your ISP.

[EDIT] Enta status page suggests they scheduled emergency maintenance at 15:45 this afternoon for tonight - could be related?  http://noc.enta.net/[/EDIT]

[Monkeh]

I presumed I was being slightly stoopid......hence the question mark, I was right, wahoo!

[Spark]

apparently we'd gone over the bandwidth limit and so they choked us, even though we thought we'd agreed to just pay more if that happened.
they "find this is the best way to get our customer to come in contact with us" of course they go home at 5pm..... great.
anyway its now 'fixed' and im getting a whopping 0.5mb ¬¬

You don't have a bandwidth limit do you? You just need to respect the fair-use policy, and looking at your ISP, they're fucking around with it, srsly, contact them, they have no reason for shutting you down, unless you're a massive torrenter or anything

[biohazard]

I remember spark saying he is capped with monthly usage and maybe he does not torrent a lot, I remember him saying that his dad/ step dad is streaming a lot of media. That could be (probably is) the reason. Basically either change isp or just change package for unlimited one. If it actually is what i think it is, in few days you will have normal speed again... gl sorting it mate
