Upstream congestion
Thought I’d start a new thread rather than clogging up others.
Been getting a rise in average latency, just recently. Seems to be down to upstream congestion.
VM community thread: https://community.virginmedia.com/t5...n/td-p/3562884
Download speeds don’t seem to be affected but upload speeds are usually half ish of the 20Mb.
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/2359945289 Done over wifi but wired is the same.
Is this likely to be easy for VM to fix? I’m hoping that when 4 upstream channels are bonded, it’ll help to alleviate the problem.

Re: Upstream congestion
Ah, the live tbb graph isn’t actually showing the live graph for some reason. Clicking on it takes it to the live graph.

Re: Upstream congestion
Just to update, the Hub rebooted itself last Wednesday and things have been fine since. No peak time rise in latency etc. Not sure what was changed, no additional upstream channels added, just a change in the frequency of the bonded upstreams.

Might want to consider a FTTC connection if latency matters.

I did consider it, actually had an order placed with PlusNet but cancelled it. Would of had to pay probably £200 to get out of contract with Virgin and even then, the BT master socket is in the wrong place and would ideally require moving. Otherwise I would of been relying on wifi for everything as there is no easy to way to run ethernet to where I would want it. Powerline was no good, connection was intermittent at best going from the nearest socket to a socket upstairs.

That's right there are three options available for static IP addresses on a business account:-
Single Static
5 static IP addresses
13 static IP addresses

Re: Upstream congestion
I just don't understand why can't VM selling static ip address for residential customer as well as a one off payment just like Plusnet did. Because of CCTV need static IP Address.
