Capped again 8.45pm 14th feb 2008

[DipsTheOne]

Im really getting rather angry with VM Im getting capped @ silly oclock when i all i do is play cod4 4 from about 7pm then i get capped to 1mb when i pay for 4mb I dont download anything so why am i being capped they have no reasion to ............. :mad:

Gaming uploads and downloads data just like browsing and downloading. You will have gone over the upload limit by the sounds of it, which is 350MB between 4pm and 9pm. Either that or you have been browsing heavily with pictures etc and gone over the download limit of 800MB.

[DipsTheOne]

Hows that posible Im @ work all day from 7am till 4pm and dont use comp till 7pm ish

[AbyssUnderground]

Hows that posible Im @ work all day from 7am till 4pm and dont use comp till 7pm ish

Do you have wireless? Is it secure? If you do, and its not secure, someone could be piggybacking it and stealing your internet connection.

Does anyone else in the house use it besides you?

If not, I'm stumped.

[DipsTheOne]

Not wireless! maybe the missis on her comp downloads music through the day maybe?? if thats the case im going to block her lol in other words disconnect her from the router through the day, she wount have a clue lol, thanks for your post BTW.

[alferret]

My speed was down to around 1mb tonight without DL'ing anything. I rebooted the modem and speeds are back up to 4mb.

Having 1mb shouldnt adversly affect pings unless your suffering from packet loss.

You dont need to be downloading its overall traffic used to and from your modem thats counted regardless where its going or where it came from, so browsing the net, prg updates, email, web pages are all included regardless.

STM is inforce from 4pm to 9pm and when activated it will drop your speeds for 5hrs.

[Ernie_C]

..... she wount have a clue lol....
She probably has as much a clue as you about STM.

It's only your upload and download between 4pm and 9pm which counts toward STM. If you are being STMed, its because your activity between this period breaks the STM limits. Of course, it may not be STM, just ordinary contention.

[dilli-theclaw]

It is NOT only counted between 4 and 9 (at least on 20mb it isn't)

If I go over my limit during the day I get dropped via stm.

[DepthCharge]

Your right there JeffersonT there is something VERY wierd going on recently.

I am on the 20Mb connection and I am extremely careful with my activity between 4.00pm and 9.00pm

However recently I have noticed that no matter what I do prior to 9.00pm I seem to be getting slammed with STM at 9.00pm on the dot.

Take yesterday for example, I was downloading a batch of CAD and Web Graphic files that would have totalled 2.9GB of data.

I downloaded the first batch of data totalling 1.76GB at 7.30pm and left the rest for 9.00pm.

Low and behold 9.00pm comes around, my automated download scheduler kicks in and BANG I am hit by STM.

What on EARTH is that all about.

It seems that anything done BEFORE 4.00pm is being taken into account but what is so damned frustrating is that they only seem to be slamming the STM time trigger on AT 9.00pm so thats the connection pretty much shafted till 2.00am.

Starting to get very ****ed with the erratic STM policy at the moment I can tell you.

[TehTech]

IF this is the case then, VM are breaking their own terms & conditions, as first they say the service is unlimited (OK, this has been discussed to the death) but NOW they STM no matter WHAT time of the day or night? man I can see another major court case in the making.

[dilli-theclaw]

Maybe, for all I know there may be a specific problm with my area. I just can't be bothered to investigate further as I don't really care about it that much.

I only report what happens to me.

Although, having said that, its probably the reason I never had a decent speed on my line, queued up my downloads for early hours of the morning (2am time) so when I woke up my speeds were rubbish.

Still, VM are notorious for being liars, it really wouldnt surprise me if they DO run STM anytime of the day, so much for this fictitional "no heavy use during peak times" what a load of old tosh!

[Ernie_C]

That's a good attitude to have but I would EXPECT those that honestly believe they are being STMed outwith published hours to report it for investigation or STOP MOANING ABOUT IT.

[jcuk]

As for 4Mb STM levels, its 750Mb between 4pm and 12 midnight, but you get cut to 2Mb.

20Mb STM drops to 5Mb between 4pm and 12 midnight after downloading over 3Gb of data (actual amount is 4Gb as tested on the uddingston ubr.) so i assume they provide some leeway in their levels, unsure if its the case with lower tiers.

STM can only be in effect for upto an hour, so you can get STM'd more than once during the 4-12 period. If you breach the limit at 11:59 you still get STM enforced.

As for upload, id assume the levels are the same, but regardless game pings wouldnt change much, gaming on 512k is still acceptable. The issue you could be having would be just peak usage limiting your speed, much like adsl but it shouldnt be!! (hence why they enforced stm lol)

Also 2Mb gets reduced to 1Mb after 350Mb has been d/l'ed during the 4-12 peak period.

Anyway, enjoy your capped speeds hehe xx

NB : Anything under the capped speeds i.e. 1mb from 4mb connection id call tsc and pump their ass!!! (may take 3-4 calls tho lol)

EDIT : You also cannot get STM'd twice, i.e. 4 > 2 > 1 :)

[TehTech]

WRONG!!!

It is SUPPOSED to be from 4pm till 9PM, making it FIVE hours, NOT 1.

[dilli-theclaw]

Well I probably would but going on my past experience with issues reported to virgin (this and other things) they don't actually resolve them so I don't see the point.

<snippage>

See that's the thing - what is supposed to happen amd what actually does happen seem to be completely different.

If it was just me I'd say it was as a co-incidence, but it happends to my dad and my neigbours both sides of me too.

[lardboy]

<SNIP>

If you really are a Virgin employee that pretty much sums up the problem with the company because a fair chunk of what you state is incorrect.

>STM lasts for 5 hours
>4Mb get dropped straight to 1Mb
>It only applies to data uploaded / downloaded between 4pm and 9pm

Info here (http://www.virginmedia.com/help/traffic-management.php) , here (http://abcde.co.uk/virginmedia/stm.html) and from personal experience.

Also from personal experience I know that the system is far from fool proof because I have been put under STM (confirmed by engineers) when there is no way that I have reached the limits.

[moaningmags]

For jcuk
To claim you are a VM employee and go on to give out totally inaccurate information just makes the rest of us look bad.
STM is monitored 4pm - 9pm , uploaded and downloaded data counts.
Size: M package download at least 300MB of traffic each, with the top 3% of uploaders uploading at least 150MB of traffic each.
their download speed will be set to 1Mb, with their upload speed set to 128Kb. This will last for 5 hours from when the traffic management policy is applied.
Size: L package download at least 800MB of traffic each, with the top 3% of uploaders uploading at least 325MB of traffic each.
download speed will be set to 1Mb, with their upload speed set to 128Kb.
Size: XL package download at least 3GB of traffic each, with the top 3% of uploaders uploading at least 1250MB of traffic each.
download speed will be set to 5Mb, with their upload speed set to 192Kb.

[alferret]

It is NOT only counted between 4 and 9 (at least on 20mb it isn't)

If I go over my limit during the day I get dropped via stm.

Dont know what to say to that mate aside from if I go over my limit between 4 & 9 I get STM'd outside those hours I dont get touched, I'm on 4mb but speed shouldnt make a difference as the hours quoted by VM for STM.

[Sirpingalot]

Gaming uses very little bandwidth.

[jailhouse]

Gaming uses very little bandwidth.

You try telling VM that.

I am on a 20Mb connection. We are all out during the day.

When my son gets back at 5pm, he has his tea, a shower, gets his gear ready for the next day, and then goes on his 360 for a game of COD4

Immediately his game is lagging, dropping off connections, "internet connection" and "server disconnected" error messages. I check my modem and it shows less than 2Mb. I call tech who say STM is the problem, but when you state you have not used anything all day, they deny STM is user wide across the board, and try to insinuate you have a wireless network insecure (we dont have one), someone has been at home (the alarm company have never reported a break in:dozey: ), or that we have viruses or malware on the PC!

Now, when you explain the 360 is connected directly to the modem, and uses very little in the way of bandwidth, i had the reply, "sorry we do not support gaming machines"!

So it looks like Internet PC and Game Console use is under the restrictions of STM. Could VM be lying about the use of STM?

[QUOTE=jcuk;34489795]As for 4Mb STM levels, its 750Mb between 4pm and 12 midnight, but you get cut to 2Mb.

hi jcuk,

plz check the latest traffic mgmt policy. the window is 4 to 9p.m. and the speed of 4 meg. customers would be reduced to 1 meg if the limit of 800 MB of downloading is exceeded.

thanks.

[Keane]

I got capped 15 minutes ago, and am stuck at 1mb. I downloaded about 300mb during the 4-9 timeframe and it's happened a few times the past few days, where I am capped past 9pm

[bertles86]

This my speed test, I'm on 4mb!!!!

I have an STB rather than a modem. The support guy in the VM newsgroup asked me to post my modem power levels but obviously I'm unable to. They seem to have lost interest in me at this point..
In fact, all the tech's there seem to have done tonight is book engineer appointments for everyone with a problem???
It's clear there's some reasonable issue due to so many people with the same problem. Are the tech's in the VM newsgroups pacifying people knowing the problem will be fixed eventually (and the call out cancelled) or am I being cynical?

Thanks for reporting their comment but I'm afraid it's incorrect (or only applied regionally) as I've already downloaded almost 1GB this morning on a 4Mb connection and my speed tests are still showing 3.5Mb.

Hope yours improves soon!

[DepthCharge]

I hope whoever you spoke to at "support" is just simply an ill-informed muppet, because if anyone here even catches a whiff of an "official" statement like that I can see these forums bursting into flames ;)

[pachelbel]

Well that beggers the question just what is going on regarding traffic management. Are VM using it in areas that are badly over subscribed. the person in support did mention 8am being a time point. Is there anyone out there who can confirm a change or possible change being implimented by VM regarding traffic management.

[TehTech]

IF this is true, i feel that a lot of bad publicity will arise & also that there will be loads of at least THREATS of legal action, if I was still on their residential service & found this to be true, I'd sue their asses off as would most others I would guess!

[pachelbel]

Well this is my speed now. Still steady as a rock at 1Meg. Bitmeter shows a nice staight graph perfectly cut off at 1000KB. I will just have to wait till after 13:00.

pachelbel: If your connection 'magically' returns to normal after 1pm, would you be willing to phone again to get confirmation that you *were* actually STM'd this morning?
And if you do, get a name?

Nobody else heard a whisper of this?

Sorry it took so long to reply. I have been out for some loft boards. Looks like I am still on 1Meg.
I am on the phone right now.

Then..how come I still get STM'd at 11.30pm?

[kryogenik]

I suggest you post your problem in the VM newsgroup virginmedia.support.broadband.cable
The tech's in there insist there is no STM going on outside of the stated times.

[pachelbel]

OK, here is the update. I have just got of the phone to a nice guy in India. I had a go at him and wanted to be transferred to UK support but he asked me to give him a chance. He said I was still being traffic managed after 6 hous and did some things with my modem. He changed my ubr and reset my account and modem so that I should not have any further problems. This has been going on for the last few days. I asked him also about whether the traffic management could kick in outside the 4-9pm and he said it could be used at any time for heavy users that were deamed to be affecting the network. I could not really nail him down to specifics on this. He also sent me the email about traffic management and it turns out to be a general VM note with nothing about traffic management.
Anyway below are my new speeds and I will update if I get capped again outside 4-9.

Im sorry, but once again you have been LIED TO!!!

TS CANNOT change you onto a different UBR, as a UBR is a physical bit of kit, not a software setting!

I have had this lie told to me before, and I know that someone has to do that at ur local headend, (or even possibly at the street cab).

So unless he got a plain all the way to your town, he is lying!!

ALSO, you may have a case for legal action against them for breech of T&C's and for general bull crapping.

Id get onto a solicitor right away if I was you!

Folks I have just got to laugh about my bb speed. If you have read my posts today you would now think my problems have been fixed. I thought the indian support had fixed my 2Meg as it seems to be rock solid as below.

However I have just check my modem config and it seems I have been upgraded.:)

downstream 20480000
upstream 768000

Perhaps we poor folk on the bottom tier are going to get an upgrade also, straight to 20Meg. It would be funny were it not for the fact that I am achieving my 2Meg BB on a 20Meg service. I will enjoy it tonight and sort it out in the morning.;)

[kryogenik]

I'd be gutted if I found I had a 20mb config file and only got 2/3mb! Oh well, at least you're getting what you're paying for (hopefully!).

:D

I had a sneaking suspicion that something was up when your speedcheck showed 2.7Mb/s but couldn't think of an explanation and didn't want to jinx your good fortune.

Not much of an advert for 20Mb in your area though, is it?
Just imagine, you could be paying an extra £20/month for that extra 700Kb/s!

Hey, maybe VM have decided to get seriously radical and abolish the different speed tiers so everyone gets 20Mb?

:dunce:

[jcuk]

Thanks for updating me!!!

No really, im sorry, im geuinely sure when the stm policy came out it read between 4 and 12 and 350mb on the 2mb, if its changed, ideal :D

sorry guys :(

nb : as for other colleagues and stm knowledge, we work in customer care, so its not often we would get confronted with questions like these, but yeah thanks for setting me right :P ill hush hush next time :P
