Took TalkTalk up on the offer on free instal + 12months half price. Can just cancel within 10days. They turn interleaving off also and allow you to have 6db.
Now you said Sky allow Fasthpath in the summer kinda gutted. Can get a good deal with them in tv ^ :D

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Thank thenry,

Confirm SH is in combo mode and settings in DMZ are already as you state. Have tried rebooting SH but still the same.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

double check the IP addy. untick the boxes within services or modem mode the thing and link your own router then set up a new monitor, delete your older ones. you said you have a Linksys?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Funny how your graph hints at similar 3 hour spikes to mine, yet mines on fibre, it must be something on Sky's network, either that or the Sky plus box updates every 3 hours or so. just merely an observation

Is your Sky plus box wired to your router like mine ?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

In the last few weeks my super hub has been rebooting at random points and giving me an unidentified network, so I decided to put the thing in modem mode and connect my Belkin router. The range and strength of wifi has more than doubled. The connection has also been much more consistent.
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...05-06-2012.png

The two spikes are ping tests.

Its just A SHAME

PS
Just to have in mind for future ... anyone knows if a business or a leased line can be cheaper than the 110 pounds are going to VM to go in that service?
if yes i will just cancel my direct debit and they can take me to court
But will wait till a Mod at VM forums reply to see what they will say about the connection first

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

it seems as though VM are moving everyone about throughout the double process but capacity isn't being added early and instead later down the line.

yup. as mentioned above VM getting everyone onto the correct tier, securing the network etc. etc. is probably the cause of this jump. may be this is actual good management. VM monitoring seeing as they have to move a lot of customers over then adding capacity accordingly ?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

it seems is the Superhub

today had day off and stayed to reset this Superhub few times as wont synchronise (reset it 4-5 times)
after couple of resets look the difference (after 9pm)
set it to modem mode ... FIRST time jitter 0 at pingtest.net ...wowowowo....(at peak time)

look the difference

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Sorry for delay in replying, had grandaughter staying for a few days - it's amazing how many times a 15 month-old can consecutively climb the stairs!

Anyway tried your suggestions yesterday, still no luck then read that you have to disable port forwarding for it to work. Did that, reset the hub and all seemed ok. Re-enabled port forwarding and it still worked but stopped working some time around 1:30am, so disabled port forwarding again did another reboot and the monitor has been working okay since 11:00am.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

A rare sight on a VM connection :D I just ordered a Talk Talk ADSL Line for my XBOX, free connection, 6 months half price £17pm, can only expect about 3 or 4 meg due to distance, will see how it compares, 10 day cooling off so got nothing to lose really.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

didnt you consider their cheap fibre product?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

dont forget if you can set up a monitor to compare adsl from TT with mine :dunce:

Ps
is not that cheap is £10 on top for 40/2 and £15 for 80/20
but is good as BT's infinity had it before at old premisses

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I only wish there was a Fibre provider in my area... the activated the town next to me even though it has 4 times less potential customers... insane, so im stuck with Virgin or a DSL provider. Activation isn't until the 26th so ill set up a monitor beside my Virgin connection on that date

£10 ontop of your current deal or the stated prices on the site?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Thanks.

Port forwarding was originally enabled on the Linksys for my stepsons xbox 360, he hasn't complained yet so I'll see how things go. Only downside so far is the brightness of the blue led at night so I'll be putting some tape over that - way too bright for a bedroom.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Maybe it's just my suspicious mind but haven't you noticed a lot of funny stuff going on recently, and I don't just mean VM related issues, but with the internet in general.

Lots of what appear to be routing issues, capacity issues, slow web page loading across multiple isp's.

mine looks ok

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/83.png

but some sites are taking a while to resolve for me like www.speedtest.net and can sometimes fail to load fully at all.

Could it be anything to do with ipv6 ?

My connection has got quite a bit worse in the past week for some unknown reason, this was June 1st - couldn't hope for any better on VM!

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/80.png

this however was todays (ignoring gap where I paused it)... a very big difference in quality - it's been the same for a few days now. I guess a new heavy 100Mb user or 20 was allowed onto the network?

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/06/81.png

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Or they resegmented existing users

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Maybe but imo it only takes a single 100 Mbps customer seeding flat out unshaped for whatever reason to produce that difference in graphs. I've seen my own vary by that much back and forth several times within days.

Anyone else seeing sudden packet loss like my graph, as i am guessing it maybe a routing problem?

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...08-06-2012.png

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

No, but the minimum latency on all of my graphs dropped at around 2pm, and an extra hop (Brentford) has been added after the Guildford node. Hopefully its a permanent thing and not just re-routing around a network issue!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

mines been like that for weeks, its an upstream SNR fault for me though

I'm... not sure what's wrong with mine. Either there's something wrong with the monitor, or my SuperHub needs a reboot. However, there's nothing in my SuperHub logs regarding disconnects or anything. And my power levels are the same as before. Nothing is being downloaded (disabled my NAS torrent client), and browsing/downloading seem perfectly fine.

Mind you it can go to rats just as quickly - mine went from fine to dire almost overnight. I guess that's the result of selling unlimited products that can consume half your local pipe.

I'm not sure if the improvement is entirely down to the pre-announced maintenance as I've seen it look good for a few days at a time before which is what leads me to believe that the problem could be caused by a single very high usage customer.
