Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

same here mate been having terrible problems today, keep loosing connection :( , then i got Access Denied to network. Now it back up and working, checked service status seems their are faults with TV and Telephone :o:

P.S. Did anyone else notice no traffic restrictions these past days? I've downloaded a lot of stuff these past few days at full speed only today it seems i've been restricted

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I'm from the LE3 area and my net died earlier and has only just came back the modem was reporting these logs tho: if anyone knows what they mean.

here is my graph again (from page 7) so dont have to click back to see affect.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

everything slowed down again and jitter higher again. was expected I guess since the upstream channel didnt change.

looks like we had some kind of fault and there was a temporary normal service before modems recconected.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

wow my tbb graph is a right mess at 2.30am, the change back to 768kbit upload shows how bad things are or I wonder if a port is down and they merged 2 ports of users.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Nothing on my graph? Must be the port you're on? Im still on CPC7.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

yes we on different nodes. I remember one of the early things I was told about my area. That VM will leave areas like mine to rot (let everyone fight for bandwidth) as their drip feed upgrades are ineffective. Quite as to why my node doesnt get split or reallocated I dont know and is why I am ditching VM as I have given up waiting for a fix that will probably never happen.

also I found out yesterday when sorting some signatures for the leics mercury story that a few people have managed to get moved to a new physical port, in that their ip range changed and had new up and down ports. One of them only managed to get moved after 2 years and said he signed up in 2006 and had congestion until moved in 2008. There is people on 50mbit saying they get under 2mbit on speedtests.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

The overlay network went live in 2008, they were moved to it hence the IP and port changes. No preferential or special treatment at all just a migration along with however many other people to the new kit once available.

CPC7 isn't a port it's just a pool of IP addresses. You could split the signal coming into your home to two cable modems, they can be on the same ports but take an IP address from a different pool so will have a different 'CPC' but share the same bandwidth.

I was connected in April this year, onto Legacy, only put onto Overlay when I complained to CEO's office.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

[QUOTE=philce;35144568]Perhaps that was the reason?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

not sure, I spoken to one guy over the phone, he was moved to overlay initially and then upgraded to 50mbit after he was told that would fix it, which it didnt. Then whilst still on 50mbit he got moved again and it was a lot better. So obviously he wasnt moved back to legacy as he is still on the 50mbit service so it could only mean a physical move of some sort, it also changed his ip address range.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Well there has been copious amounts of resegmentation on the Leicester networks so this wouldn't surprise.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

thanks to everyone who has helped in this thread, it is appreciated even if I dont come across that way.

my new adsl isp is online today, sycing at almost 2 meg higher than I did on ukonline although upload is down on speed. The new isp isnt quite living up to easynet's excellent network for jitter, seems to hover from 1-5ms mostly around 1-2ms but that is fine significantly better than VM, speeds fine on it.

So I will have VM until end of jan although may be earlier as I got warned since its free it can go off at any point in the month. It was useful for dusk hours bulk downloading and during sept for everything :) but thats history now so hopefully others in LE3 wont suffer as badly as I have done.

If anyone here wants to test out my connection and knows how to use unix command line PM me, and I can give you access to a freebsd vm I have setup on the connection.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

At least you have found a resolution which suits you better.:D
