Well guys, unfortunately i have been having problems with my internet going EXTREMELY slow. (and before you ask, I am NOT over my quota)

I rang slingshot today, and they got me to run a whole lot of tests,

Turns out, i'm downloading at a maz speed of 25kb/s (Down from 700kb/s)
And my upload is faster its 52kb/s. Which is about the same it always has been.


One of the guys i spoke to said I had to get a new router because my ping was higher when i pinged the router. (mine ranges from <1-5ms.) He said that it should not be anything over 5.

However, it has only been today and last night that this problem occurred, and this router has been working fine up until now.
 
My ping is actually <1-1ms when pinging from a Wireless client? Work that one out..

Anyways, just want some input from people, because Slingshot have passed this on to the technical staff, however, apparently the team they passed this on to doesn't work during weekends and public holidays. so i have to deal with this crap internet until whenever they decide to help me.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I've tried resetting to factory defaults, only using one computer, unplugging all other telephones, tried using a different jack, different cable, different filter. Still to find no better results than snail-pace internet.

Yet I'm being charged for this fantastic (hmm) snail-pace feature.

Sincerely,

A frustrated SlingShot slave.
