Anyone else on AOL suffering from dire internet speeds atm? My latest speed test looks something like this:

Idk whether its a problem at my end or whether its an AOL problem in general, I remember reading a while ago about people with AOL suffering a drop in speeds. If it is my end, any suggestions as to what it could be? Its normally around 2k download/300 upload. I haven't touched any settings recently, so idk what's happened.

& anyone who starts trolling by saying "OMGZ U SHUDNT USE AOL" will just get -repped. If it was my choice, I wouldn't be with AOL. But I don't pay for it, so I don't have the choice.

Thanks in advance.

I'm on AOL - this is my wirelessly connected laptop (the router is a high speed netgear router). My speed hasn't been going down - it's constantly low.

Usually is 4-5 times faster than this. It has been going slow for weeks.

It's because they are migrating to TalkTalk servers, causing the slow speeds. Should be back to normal when it's all transferred.

1) It shouldn't be slow at ALL!

We are paying for a service we aren't getting. There have been 2 outages of ~5hours~ both on a sunday.

Its a disgrace. If it was up to me OFCOM would be investigating.

I've just got constantly slow speeds. speed test isn't giving me a result at the moment (the image) for some reason but it's in 900kbs for download and 243 for upload.

I'm on wireless but it's a really top of the range netgear router which is capable of transmitting 54 MBPs or something.. so it shouldn't effect the speed that much.

Well I just logged into my router and this is what information I am getting:

DownStream Connection Speed - 7072 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed - 448 kbps

And the internet sure is quicker now :P

Yeah mine has picked up slightly, its on 1500 kb/s now, which is still pathetic, but better than what it was.
