Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

i meant the test on speed.io always shows as 5000kb, where as anywhere else it shows as 4.7mb

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

I see my VM connection had another oversubscription fit whilst I not using it. I am missing them all as I want to run a speedtest during it to see if throughput gets affected.

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

I know, I was just explaining why. The 1.5 up was actually provisioned at 1.75 on the modem to allow for the overheads so that speedtest site would show the full 1.5 advertised.

For some reason 50Mb no longer has this for the upgraded upload speed although 30Mb has.

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

the upload on 50mb is set at 5.14mb so it has some room, but not much, the 3mb upload speed on the 30meg package seems to be set way up (i dont know the exact figure) ut speed test show the upload speed to be like 3mb to 3.3mb wheras 50mb upload speed advertised at 5mb always test at 4.6 to 4.8mb and the 100/10 package is further away still testing at 8 to 9 meg!

Mine is awfully slow.

For a 50meg service

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

Try another server, the manchester one is appalling at the moment,


https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/04/7.png

for manchester

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/04/8.png

for birmingham.


I think the manchester server has been having issues for the last few days, as on pingtest.net it also shows 2% packet loss a lot of the time, exact same figure with my friend who is on sky broadband

I know the results were taken a few days ago but it was to show that hte manchester server is intermittant :)

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

birmingham is also shaky I have seen it slow down during office hours (I presume that connection is busy on office hours), the only one that is really reliable is london. Birmingham good for showing a low ping on the result of course.

Interestingly also if I test using my laptop the ping time is less than half than on my pc, it seems wireless has an effect on latency doing throughput.

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

...and the london namesco, the trancefm can be dodgy from time to time. the birmingham server gives me 3 or 5ms ping sometimes over wireless, whereas it gives me 14 or 15 every time wired, mmmm dodgy

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

the birmingham one gives me a solid 50 right through the day :)

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

Thats better

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

upload speed still crap

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

The upload speed took a dive when i got the Superhub. Had around 4.7meg on the old modem.

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

i thought they had fixed the upload speed bug with the new firmware

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

an alternative possibility is that some of us have poorer quality routing to the birmingham speedtest server.

Re: Virgin being good tonight !
 

I have the firewall on on the superhub by the way, IP Scan + IP flood are unticked though, and it works flawlessly :)
