Just disconnect and re- connect the PPP session on the router interface. Can only get between ar86 and ar87 :evil:

eek - multiple posts at once - :) and this one is late compared to the last few posts .... sorry

mark - The name, and subsequent IP address, of the first gateway (hop 2 ) is different - makes sense now
I could therefore assume that we are "effectively" on different pipes - hence the staggering difference in speed at this point in time.
This helps you not, but at least makes some sort of sense :cry:

Looking at deanos, again, we would appear to be on different gateways, but looking at his speedtest results, his is like mine at the moment - capacity to spare so no shaping going on. And deanos. yes, reboot/kill the router and there is a good chance you will change gateways (but not ip address - they appear quite sticky ...)

Mark - I need to have a better looksee at your pathping - at a first glance it looks slightly strange as there appears to be packet loss between your client and your router , and smaller additional loss to the gateway .. weird . I need a beer and will have a look at that later ...

caviat/bs disclaimer : I wish I knew the topology of Daisys network - it would save a lot of guesswork, and would stop me probably producing potential misinformation :shock:

I don't appear to be able to get on the ar88 gateway, bouncing back and forth between 86 & 87. If I can find a way to 88, I may be able to have something decent.

I didn't disconnect the router physically and the uptime showed as good, but the ppp session could have dropped silently without me knowing. I did have a couple of manual disconnect/ reconnects over the weekend as I put the BTOR faceplate back on, but speeds were good for a couple of days and then when pear shaped. After that, I took the faceplate off again and fitted the filter. Gateways probably changed a couple of times then.

Sorry if you already stated this mark, but is the link from your device to your router wired or wireless ?
There appears a 9% packet loss for this link. This wont help.

Then there appears an additional 2% from "your" gateway to the destination, which probably wont help with the download speed either (it will be causing retrys), however it's the initial 9% that is troubling me tbh

As a comparison, here is mine (mine is wired btw)
