Well my knowledge of TPG is that they are really terrible for line contention. So they might have added more people to your line?
Otherwise is there any construction happening nearby? The house next door to me was demolished and during the rebuild they fucked up and we lost telephone for two weeks.

Very. 6Mbit is a very average connection for ADSL2+. Internode's giraph says he's 3.3Km away from the exchange.KuSTaV wrote:

I'm not sure how it is there, but do you have a telephone interchange box outside your house/apt with a phone jack in it? If so try testing from there; this would rule out any wiring in your home.
I know you mentioned the phone compan doing tests, I wasn't sure if they were on site.

Here that's called a pit. It literally is a hole in the ground where two chunks of wire are rammed together and wrapped in plastic.
Oh and a mega fine if we touch the high-precision equipment held within

Exactly. As soon as you mention ADSL they will look into it and see you're with TPG and do jack shit.Vub wrote:

So what are you going to do about it now?Metal-Eater-GR wrote:
Same here OP. I called them, their excuse was "I am too far away from their center thingie." Bullcrap, my connection was fine 1 month ago and now suddenly my home teleported somewhere out of Athens.
I really do not know. Troubleshooting by phone didn't work. If the problem does not resolve itself in a week, then I'll call them to send in a technician, which would cost me 50 euros.Vub wrote:

Fuck it. I can bear playing counter strike with 160 ping. Besides, school is starting soon, it would be best to leave my bad habits behind
