Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Whats the £28 a month for? Any Tv and phone?

Im seeing that you also have 300K upload, I think that they have throttled us to try to improve matters.

What are you getting on upload now Chrysalis?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

sorry I meant the upload speedtest showed 300k, the upload sycn was 786k. The £28 a month is only for 20mb broadband, (£2's cheaper than advertised)

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

The upload is not even 50% of the advertised figure! Id complain if I was you, make sure they know we know what they are doing.

You will get a better deal if you keep the others, esp phone.

We dont use ours for outgoing calls at all except at the weekend, mobiles have laods of inclusive minutes, and work pays for mine!!

Someone on the 30Mb thread says hes got XL everything for £39 a month.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

that 300k cap is on overlay, as I am still on legacy I am getting higher upload speeds. However I have a pending move back to overlay as that is way better than legacy. I can live with 300k upload speeds.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I did have the phone and XL talk but I find sky Talk much cheaper and line rental is less (sky give a discount if you pay 12months upfront). The tv on sky is also much better.

Anyway so Am i correct in saying everyone on the overlay network is now only getting 300k upload?

I will complain once i've installed the new super hub...

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I am not going to make such a comment.

All I am saying is the last week or 2 I was on overlay my upload speed never went above about 320kbit. Prior to that I actually was capped to 384kbit on the modem config. When the upload speeds slowed down to 320kbit my download performance went up quite a lot however jitter remained high. So make of that what you will.

Incidently now on legacy, upload speed is typically higher although still does slow down with congestion, but download performance is abysmal during daylight hours and evenings, I am back to stalling throughput, timeouts on web pages, broken streaming and mass packet loss. Jitter bottoms out to a lower level than overlay when quiet periods, but also goes way higher when busy. Cant wait to be moved back as at least overlay was in a working state when I was moved off it. In fact with the supposed 300kbit throttle it was not too bad for everything except ssh.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Checking through the SamKnows test results it looks like its been 300K up for some time, months. I suspect since I was changed over to Overlay.

VM hard at work selling capacity they not got. Just had a door to door salesmen.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

okay guys i'm at home. Installed new Virgin Super Hub. Tested Download speeds they are looking much better than yesterday

Very chuffed until I rang a ping test!

Is this right? 91% packetloss??

Very Shocking indeed, Could this be a problem with my setup perhaps or the new Virgin Super Hub?

Oh dear!!! not looking good!

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

turn off flood protection on the superhub to fix packetloss, are you actually in leicester?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

yes LE3 6 area, Thanks for the great advice just did the changes and seems to have fixed it

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

so fair jitter with shaky speeds?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

11Mb? I get 9 consistently on my L connection.

Whats going on?
