P2P filtering and limitations

nikomnht — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 13:58:11 GMT

I know that Talktalk has a speed cap on startup and P2P filters and other limits. This is not fair because it limits the speed of our internet.

Have any of you had a similar problem and were you able to remove the locks via Talktalk?

how do i know?

By downloading various applications via VPN, my speeds are 3 and 4 times higher than by just a Talktalk connection. What gray about filtering our connections.
I can use VPN endlessly, but that's not why I set up 65mb internet to only have 10mb.

Hi nikomnht,

If you are experiencing slow speeds we'll be happy to look into this for you, can you please update your community profile to include your:

Name
Telephone number
Alternative contact number

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.

Thanks

Chris

OK thanks. Line test is clear and current sync speed is 60.6Mbps, what sort of throughput speeds (speed test results) do you get?

my speed is good in speedtest 60mb.

I'm not talking about the speed of my native connection, but about filtering connections, when downloading by, for example, a windows system or a game client., speeds without VPN reaches max 8 mb per second, while with VPN I have 23-30 mb., this is not the fault of the connection or the speed itself. it is the fault of your filters, which slow down the download of data. I will show you an example page with a description of bad practices by internet providers.

im an engineer so i know what kind filters everyone talktalk customer have.,

OK thanks. Are you sure that the game client etc are showing the download speed in Mb/s (megabits) rather than MB/s (megabytes) - just wanted to make sure as I can't see why the speed would be lower - I know Steam shows the download speed in megabytes per second by default

OK. could you switch your router off and leave it off for at least 30 minutes then switch back on and retest. This will force the start of a new session. Please let us know how you get on

Morning,

Has there been any improvement after powering down the router for 30 minutes?

Thanks
