Speeds dropped between 6th and 8th Jan. Definite drop down to 300K.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

am back on overlay now, just happened right now during the day. Thankfully also got my overlay ip back so was still in DHCP cache. So I simply turned the overlay tbb graph back on, no need to make another new one for it.

Legacy latency is overall lower, this morning during dusk it got very low, however when load is high on legacy the packetloss is unreal which has far bigger downsides than jitter and real world download performance is always way off what I get on speedtest.net so if eg. 15mbit on speedtest.net and then I download a file of a ftp server, that ftp download would be something silly like 1mbit with random stalling etc. On overlay speedtest.net tends to be close to real world performance not always but at least most of the time.

here is my last 24 hours on legacy.

my jitter and pings have been hovering 20-80ms all day with download speeds generally at 10-20mbit, browsing useable. Within the last 30 minutes tho it topped over the edge.

Ironically in this state it is still more useable than the legacy network was. But throughput due to the very high rtt is now maxing out at about 2mbit and web browsing is very laggy. streaming on youtube even still works. speedtest.net with its 4 threads gives 7.21mbps which confirms the rtt limitation.

However when I try download a file I dont get much over 600kb/s unless I download multiple files at once?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

new fix date is 17 march for my port, last night was severely congested until after 4am. jitter jumps up around midday. On weekdays.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Tech visited today to "check things" under instruction of the CEO's office.

Nothing wrong with the kit here, just confirmed what we already knew, about capacity!

CEO's office now waiting for feedback regarding the upgrades, the tech seemed to think it would be sooner rather than later.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

someone asked a question today on the VM forums about what UBR they would be on, the answer was as I expected, people in one given area can be routed to different equipment, this was the answer.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

They forgot to mention what Ignitionet and Nopanic have already said that it is no longer something that is allowed due to restrictions on the network and that after a fault or reboot it will retune to the correct uBR.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

ignition was reffering to switches between docisis1 and docsis3 channels, here I am talking about actual different UBR's.

the post I stole that quote from she also said they cannot make sure they on a particular UBR, so even tho 2 out of the 4 UBR's for that area are good they wont intelligently make sure customers dont go on the oversubbed ones. Not very good management.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

given that VM have announced upload p2p shaping trials now I do find this 17 march date a bit suspicous and am curious if its a real upgrade or something they can claim to be an upgrade based on a projected performance improvement from traffic shaping.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

They will not swap you to a different uBR though because the system no longer allows it as a simple reboot will see you back on the original.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Depends how it's done.

It's actually more conditional on back end rather than faults or modem reboots. Have a look at how a modem on 10Mbps on the DOCSIS 3 network is provisioned then check one on the VXRs, making sure both are on L or M of course.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

before and after graphs from old modem to superhub. both on overlay.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Looks like I've been bumped back to legacy! New TBB graph running.

CEO's office promise a resolution "this month".....

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

That resolution consisting of them terminating your contract and telling you not to contact them again :)
