Indeed yours is a wonder to behold and a testament to the ability of VM to ignore problems and hope they'll go away.

How long will it be before you do go away as I'm sure I could sell you a rubber coupling modem linking to my own connection which would perform better than you're getting now.

I've never had a problem until two weeks ago when I noticed that Google Listen on my phone wasn't downloading the Football Weekly podcast anymore.

I'd seen this thread gradually growing page by page but never opened it. Had a look earlier this week and then setup the Think Broadband test.

I didn't expect to find such a miserable state of affairs but the £30 credit makes up for it a little.

I can still browse the web and that's all I really need. I'm much more frustrated by the crap tivo BBC red button service.

mine has calmed down the last 3 days or so.

Which has got me wondering after all the discussion of node sizes.

I am about 30-40 streets away from a student area, which is got to be at least a few thousand properties, if I am on the same segment then how big is the segment? As student areas would calm down at christmas.

that sort of graph really should be seeing VM get a legal slapping. Clearly not fit for purpose.

lol i am in Glasgow m8...a rather large village :p:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I thought that the point of most contention was the tiny local pipes (ie by node) serving a couple of hundred modems rather than the segment which I took to be a complete CMTS housing lord only knows how many line cards each of which was a local node and so serving a few thousand modems and fed by one or more gigabit fibres but it may well be that I've got it all wrong.

Whatever the naming conventions IMO VM have seriously screwed up by selling 100/10Mbps on shared 200/18Mbps pipes and it's that which is leading to the explosion in complaints on the community forum.

Still not brilliant but at least speedtests have shown no upstream congestion the last few off peak times I've tried them.

I suspect any local gamers won't be impressed though.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

yeah thats quite bad.

I have had full speed every time I have used it since about monday. My graphs also look significantly better since then.

This has coincided with what is typically the student holiday season even tho no students around here or at least should be very little.

No sign of work been done outages etc. so I expect come the new year it will revert to slow again.
