Just wondering if anyone had had a similar experience:
speed tests across several machines, using several different browsers within our wireless and wired network at home are consistent: speeds around 4Mb down, 100k up. Two OS's, four different machines.
problem is that whilst the connection is ostensibly running at what passes for full rate here, experience is saying it's throughput is slow.
Using several different smtp servers for the domains I use, those not using the smtp.ihug.co.nz port are dropping and taking two tries to send
Secure connections [Google mail/docs/igoogle] and facebook connections [I know, how puerile, but there's four teenagers here] and imap connections to gmail keep getting dropped or take two attempts to connect.
I've swapped out filters
I've restarted routers
I've tried hardwiring wireless computers
I've tried wirelessing normally hardwired computers
Deleting cookies for FaceBook allowed initial access, but then subsequent efforts failed again.
Anyone have any ideas?
