Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Heh, with all these improvements to graphs it makes me wonder if they have just prioritized traffic from the TBB box. It would be nice to know what VM have actually done that has improved the network for so many people.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I am curious as people first said it was R36 but now I am seeing all these graphs. My own graph looks dodgy still.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I don't think it was R36 that caused the improvement. After we got on the trial our graph was still pretty dire. It was a few days later that the improvement happened. I took my complaint to the CEO's office two months ago and was told that things would be better by this time. Seems the guy I dealt with was telling the truth :)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

both. the over buffers went with R36 then some form of capacity was added or did VM up their network with regards to efficiency?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

My own graph was ok, but not that great, but a few days after getting R36 I've seen quite a big improvement. I can't see it being the firmware, so I'm guessing some work has, coincidently, been going on with the VM network.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...30-06-2012.png

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

R36 changed buffers and they have also made some routing changes qas mentioned through manchester

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

manchester wouldnt have been affecting jitter, thats all local UBR and modem stuff.

To me it looked like R36 changed buffers, but then I seen some R36 users who had no change on their graphs and also non R36 users who have the change which is making me think it may be coincidence and perhaps even R36 beta testers were put on priority traffic.

To me what might be logical is settings were changed on the UBR, these settings not take affect until a user recconects, then users got given R36 which forced a recconect and then seeing the change on their graphs.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I've seen a few graphs on R36 which appear to have buffers hard limited to ~100ms, a big improvement from the 400-3000ms on previous firmwares.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

R36 from the graphs did have an immediate impact on jitter, since then there does seem to have also been another cause for yet more jitter reduction.. Either way it's a plus for us

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I'm not complaining, there's been a marked improvement lately. As qas said earlier, they appear to have re-routed traffic via Manchester which could be a reason for the improved TBB results.

Anyone have any idea what might be causing the random signs of packet loss? Ever since my upstream channel has changed with the push of the R36 firmware, everything has screwed up.

Wonder if this is worth mentioning on the VM forums.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

You could email the CEO's office.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Had similar issue
check what frequency and channel number is the upstream channel
reset from the back the modem...it should change the upstream channel and mhz
if not change .... reset it again until will change the upstream MHZ channel

It seems as upstream utilisation
the problem is:
that in few hours or days due to utilisation may change the channel & the MHZ again but again rest till change to less congested channel
it will work but you need to post your problem at VM forums and let the beta managers to know

EDIT
if it helps you my thread is here
http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...t/td-p/1246849
i end up with distribution unit which helps when i got package loss it not reboot the modem to change upsteam channel

Out of interest, do you know what period the error counts relate to? Is this the count of errors since the last modem boot or can they be reset manually?

Since boot, but there are known issues with them counting erratically

This Jitter though is still a plague. For a few days I was without it, I guess i was being rerouted past it, but now its back.

If they could just replace or sort out the problem kit causing this I would be over the moon.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

So what's with the :mad: mate? I assume that you were joking. Are you leaving your Shub in router mode for now? I'm not going to hook up the 615 right now. I think that it might be an idea to call that guy in the CEO's office tomorrow. At least we might get answers to some of the questions.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

:Yes:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Could do, I'll go through the VM forums first and see what they say.

I was going to try this but lack of time didn't allow me to. Anyway, I switched the Superhub off today for 17 minutes and switched it back on and am back on the original upstream channel I was on before the R36 firmware update!

Yes, router mode. No space for an additional router, and plus the Superhub "works" so don't want to touch something if it ain't broke.

Last night was atrocious for me in terms of packet loss, my connection was basically unusable. I've contacted VM through their forums, though I think I may have fixed it by forcing a different upstream channel.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

so is it better after changing upstream channel?check at evening peak hours...thanks for let us know

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

@ Neo-Tech, if it's that bad then you really should speak to someone who can address the problem. You're paying for a service that you're not getting.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yep, it is. Just checked now and everything is pretty much stable.

I don't consider this to be too bad but it's improving now anyway, so. I had a much worse experience where my graph was just completely yellow, that really ticked me off.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Just had my network upgrade this morning, now on 6 downstreams. Mixed feelings at the moment... going to have a play about with the upstream when i get in later on... im thinking this upstream got congested when the card came back up.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...04-07-2012.png

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

yeah i had problem with upstream so i think until they will finish and the upstream upgrade will not be more perfect
I see more people having upstream issues now

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Well switching upstreams did nothing to help really, so i went into modem mode... which when entering modem mode i've gone back to the previous upstream... along with it, a new IP as the previous one from VMNG300 has been lost in the last day or so, as been in router mode for last 3 or 4 days.

Gone from CPC1 to CPC16 and to boot, i'm now getting latency as low as 10 and 11 pinging BBC.co.uk. Will post a new graph once it has had time to populate.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Well the upgrade has fecked my connection up well and truly... nothing but jitter and latency spikes on a constant basis... gone back to how it was post-R36 and post VMNG300.. all the positive improvements wiped out in the space of an hour and a half. Brilliant. Fuming doesn't come close.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Anyone know what's causing this little ramp down in max latency? It's been happening nearly every night (started on the 28th just before midnight and has got a bit later each night (it skipped the 3rd July)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Packet loss could be anything, but saying you weren't using it doesn't really count... otherwise nothing would appear on the graph at all if that was the case. If it's on, it's being monitored, the packet loss could be an upstream channel switch, a reboot, a problem on TBB's end... endless.

It seems to be improved :)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I think most people are seeing improvements.

This begs two questions..

There's a thread on the first - what has been done?

The second and more important one of course is will it last?

It's certainly taken away any remaining pangs of doubt that I should have given Openreach another chance - performance pretty much on a par with what I'd have got from Infinity apart from upstream at less money.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

The third question those who havent seen improvements (seems usual problem areas) will they get the improvements?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

As always with VM (or any ISP for that matter) the chances of seeing consistent service across the country are slim to nil.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yeah dont think will last...but hope i will be wrong
once i will get one more dsconnection channels will change to a congested one
my line is direct to exchange(adsl) so only option for fast internet is VM
if i had FTTC i will go for it

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Turned Ping Monitor on about a month ago when I started noticing some occassional issues with video streaming and online multiplayer.

Its been like this almost every day since then.

Any suggestions for ways of improving it? Or am I completely at the mercy of VM's network?

(BTW even though I'm on 100Mb, I'm still using the 50MB modem and WNR2000 router as I heard bad things about the Superhub.)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I would start by turning of all devices on your lan, checking wireless is secure and rebooting your router because that doesnt look like its a VM side issue.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

looks like your pinging the gateway there

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I use to have really bad jitter, But seem to of fixed itself over the past week, Noticed my upstream is now number 4 aswell, Which im guessing is a new one!

Really hoping this improvement is permanent :dunce:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

i am looking for some advice please, i am thinking of using superdud in moden mode and using a new better router , will this improve ping jitters stability over a wired connection for me and improve wireless for others .. if you have done this does it improve things thanks

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Wireless of course would be dependent on your new router, as for jitter, it's possible... Jitter seems rather strange with Virgin Media, as the Superhub was responsible for some of it, then all of a sudden upon release of the R36 firmware, Jitter was good for R36 users and then even normal users saw a better quality of connection.

Myself, being in R36, saw the same improvement, but it's gone backwards to square one for me... so you can't necessarily give an accurate answer to that. The best thing to do would be to test it under your own circumstances and if you see an improvement then great.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

yes i saw a big improvement last week and its already gone downhill , i just wondered if a higher quality router would improve things a Little bit i now it wont fix all problems as that's virgin media,s network

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

If you got a new router then wireless would almost certainly improve... since moving to R36, router mode has been better for me then modem mode, but at the moment both are equally as poor for me so...

If you only want better wireless then id go for a new router, modem mode may perhaps improve jitter a little bit but now that im seeing people reporting different things i couldn't suggest anything at the moment.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

according to my tests with r30 firmware using modem mode(with out any router) may jitter go down 1-3 ms
Now if you use your own router with modem mode, jitter may go back up same as using superhub in router mode
Wireless it depence how good the new router will be
So my opinion is ... unless you really need the wireless don't get anything yet...wait hopefully by end of the week the new firmware should be out...and see how is going

Something using your connection by the looks of things.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Guys I set my thinkbroadband quality monitor up a week ago roughly and since then every day I have periods (hours of 100% packet loss) followed by normal pings then continues. The internet does NOT go down during this period and the superhub has been on for nearly 50 days straight with no reboot. I have turned the wan respond to ping ON, but I have not setup any port forwarding rules FOR THE BROADBAND MONITOR specifically...do I need to do so or turn UPNP on or something? I do have other existing port forwarding rules for other things.
Oh and my IP is still the same. And I do not turn the superhub off at night or during the periods of 100% packet loss.


[img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

---------- Post added at 12:58 ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 ----------

I see this mentioned a lot and think this could be my problem but I'm not sure anyone explains properly what they mean. I THINK people are saying if you have existing port forwarding rules setup for things OTHER THAN the thinkbroadband quality monitor (Say torrents or something) then you should disable all of these OR set them to not be both UDP/TCP, but to have two seperate ones with the same port?

Can anyone confirm port forward rules set up in this way would interfer and cause intermittant results as in my post above, or would it cause 100% packet loss 100% of the time?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

when you have packet loss you mean at the monitor or you can not browse in real?EDIT ...can you browse that times the monitor have package loss?
50 days the modem on maybe is good to reboot it once a time..
Also make sure the monitor is monitoring your correct ip address and not some one else,which may be the case

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yes, if you have a port forward rule setup for both protocols then the ICMP packets are forwarded to the same IP. (this is a bug in the R30 firmware).

Do the packet loss times on your TQM relate to times when a pc or device on your LAN was switched off or disconnected?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Well at first I thought they did, then I deliberately left the PC on over night one night and I still got 100% packet loss throughout the night. I will check my port forward rules tonight as I bet it's that. :)
Cheers

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

UPDATE> Changed my port forwarding rules to be two separate entries with UDP and TCP in each rather than have one rule set to "both". Still getting 100% packet loss for hours. It does follow the pattern as to roughly when the PC is switched off too. I reckon it must still be forwarding all the packets to my home PC. :(

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Hi sorry but one suggestion.Are you sure when you set up the monitor, have not change by mistake a number at your ip)so monitoring an other ip?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I got stuck on channel 41 for a while (for upload) and the quality was less than desirable, especially at peak. but yesterday we had a fly by power outage and when the modem booted back up I just noticed that we're on channel 42 again and it looks a lot nicer!

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/07/45.png

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I will check my IP again tonight but when I checked yesterday it was still the same. I am kind of at a loss as to how to get this working consistently now.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Totally lost here?? I thought the TBM pinged the LAN side of the SH and didn't need any Port Forwarding?? I've used the TBM (albeit with a VMNG300 Modem) and had no rules setup.
Even you are now saying the times are close to the PC on/off periods, are you sure you are not monitoring the IP address of your PC?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

TBM does not ping the LAN side of anything
TBM does not use ports.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I've set the TBM to monitor my public IP, what other possible IP would I give it? I have NO port forwarding rules setup apart from two rules for my torrent client, which without them in there torrents run slow. It just port forwards a high port number on tcp and udp to my main computer. That's it. WAN respond to ping is checked.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Sorry, typo meant WAN, D'oh !!

---------- Post added at 17:20 ---------- Previous post was at 17:17 ----------

Okay, t'was just a thought I had, never mind.
Still, I can't imagine why TBM would need any rules (maybe I'd better stop talking about something I don't know too much about ...... :dunce: )

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

It wouldn't need port-forwarding rules. It would need firewall and response rules.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Do any of these need to be on or off? This is how I have it in superhub currently, only the ones with ON next to them are ticked, the rest are not.

Yuck. Goscomb.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

UPDATE> I took out ALL port forwarding rules from my superhub so that NONE exist. I then turned the main PC off overnight and again got 100% packet loss till I turned it back on in the morning, despite the superhub being on the whole time.

If the main PC is off in my house the think broadband monitor is not able to ping my superhub. Why is this happening? I have not set anything up on superhub to forward packets to this PC. Is it possible the superhub needs a reboot as it has some oddity cached somehow? It has been up for 48 days now on R30.

EDIT: Also just to add, I just set two constant running pings from my work place on two different internet lines and they both have kept pinging my public IP throughout me turning off my main PC at home. So the superhub responds to ping from WAN all the time, yet the TBB quality monitor states 100% packet loss?

Do you have a DMZ machine configured? If not try a reboot of the SHub - it's a crazy piece of kit.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

No DMZ machine configured. I think it's time it had a reboot. Will have a play tonight.

I fixed my issues with the 100% packet loss when my main PC was off. Simply rebooted the shub. Stupid piece of **** must have been caching the old port forward rules under "both" protocol somehow. Wierd.

Looks like this now. Any good for 50mb? Slightly concerned it doesn't look that flat and "unbusy" as others during last night despite nothing be connected on it my end.

Probs on the good side of average i'd say, stil far from acceptable in my eyes.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Does it make a difference if you run the shub in modem only mode? As I'm NOT doing that. To be totally honest, I find my connection generally pretty good and have no reason to complain about it at the moment. I am getting 100mb tomorrow I believe (new contract), so it might be interesting to see how it changes, if at all.

It looks like people are receiving R36 upgrades. I'm also due an upgrade to 100mb. Is there anything else I should make a note of and/or test before I get my upgrade so I can compare before/after stuff?
