Regarding Upload Speed

[thyethye]

Hi, I was wondering what upload speeds I should be getting on the 20 Mb line? If im not mistaken its 768 and before abotu 2 weeks ago ive been getting constant upload speed of 700.

but recently ive been getting very varying upload and downloads spees ie very unstable taking very long to pickup to the maximum speed. Is anyone experiencing this as welll? Im placed at Nottingham.

I need my upload speeds as I play alot of online games so if anyone have a solution to this, i'll be very very greatful. Also, if u guys could get my download speed to be more stable and pick up to max speed fastrer it'll be great!

Thanks :)

This forum has NOTHING to do at all with Virgin Media, so if you are having problems, I suggest you call Technical Support, and if the fault is their end, they will refund the cost of the call too! :)

i do not get what u mean when u say it has nothing to do with virgin media when the forum topic does state Virgin Media Services > Internet Services. LOL

While you are right,this forum in not associated with virgin medea.
It is however a forum for virgin media customers looking for some help and advice. I would have thought this sentance would have given you a clue to what this section of the forum is for

"For all things specific to Virgin Media Broadband & Dialup Internet Access."

Now reguarding the Op's upload question, yes the upload for 20Mb is set at 768Kbps. but sometime(or at least in my case) this takes a second or two to increase all the way up to the full ammount.
If you goto http://192.168.100.1 < user/pass is ROOT and post your signal levels here then i'm sure some kind person might be able to help you.

Jeez, who rattled your cage? :erm: You weren't exactly specific with what you said...

As deakin suggested, check the signal levels are within tolerance. If they're not it can cause instability in the speed. You could also check your computer doesn't have spyware that could possibly be utilising this upload bandwidth. Although unlikely, it is possible. Give AVG Free a try and also SpyBot Seach and Destroy. I always find these good candidates for getting rid of spyware.

Your levels look fine. Maybe its a modem problem or as I said above, spyware? Do you have an open wireless connection? Someone could be piggybacking it.

[thyethye]

erm, no i've checked my router and no one else is connected to it besides myself. how do i check if its my modem's fault? and if its spywares, would it actually affect it by such a huge amount?

[moaningmags]

Best thing to do would be to connect the modem direct to the
computer and test for a while.

Click on Start > Run > type cmd press ok
Opens a black window.
In here type netstat -a
look for established TCP connections
If you get some and you don't know what they are
type netstat -b
this will tell you what is currently established
Then you'll know if it's a legitimate program or not.

HTH

[thyethye]

erm dont get it, what legitimate program are u talking about?

[moaningmags]

You see an established connection
netstat -b tells you it's your firewall or anti-virus
that's fine, it's legitimate.
But if it tells you the name of a program that you
don't know, google it to find out if it is spyware.
