Re: New STM Confirmed
 

Then you are not held in high regard as you thought you were. :p:

With you being a current VM employee you are not allowed to confirm or deny the new trial of overnight STM anyway....

VM must be pretty thick if they they think most if not all torrent users and legit broadband users will not switch to night as being there new time to download/upload....Night time STM is inevitable and you know it....

I am also aware of the new future measures that VM want to introduce and with them VM are digging themselves a hole which they will not get out off....

VM, focusing on the Broadband market as there main product - what a joke!

Sky must be loving this

I get 13 meg for £10 month

not caps no reductions

Virgin is just bloody stupid

if they can't sustain 20mb bring it back down to 10

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

I totally agree Gordon, but they are bringing in 50mb!! What the hell for, just so as they can advertise the "fastest" broadband. It should follow, "but only at short bursts", or once your stm'd by 75% a constant 12mb connection, doesn't sound as good though does it? especially when you consider its then on par with Sky's top broadband at just £10 a month. It puts me in mind of the old children's story about the "Tortoise and the Hare", maybe VMs board ought to re-read it.;)

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

what the <Removed> is the point in having 20mbs and soon 50mbs if you dont get the full speeds all day.

VM are just like the Labour party they **** everyone off.

Mod Edit - Please do not avoid the swear filter.

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

LOL

VM hope to stabilize 20mbit speeds when it is placed on the DOCSIS3 platform...Only time will tell if it is successful.

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

Oh look there goes a big flying pink pig :LOL:

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

i wasnt STMd tonight. weird. have been downloading all day. mad. seeing as last week i was stmd in the afternoon.

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

19Meg around the clock here since the update, even with all the kids off, providing I don't use it that is. :rolleyes:

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

There are quite a few areas that get nowhere near the speeds for which there paying for, obviously you and a few others are lucky. ;)

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

Must admit i cannot complain here in Warrington

Could i be in one of the few areas :) Wonder if there are any other members of the few club :LOL:

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

This was one such area after the 20Meg free upgrade, 27k some evenings, which is why I went on the twilight shift, always great after 2AM.
I don't know what the recent network update actually consisted of, but it worked.

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

No STM here either, I downloaded 9 movies (8G) during the day today and still 10Mbs

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

Well it seems like I'm "one of the few" Sirius down here in Brighton, also more than a few of my friends and family recieve nigh on 20mb.

Re: New STM Confirmed
 

LOL:D I am not a current or past VM employee.. My only links to VM are via technology vendor relationships:).

If you knew anything about how Cisco STM works you would know they can only have two active windows (Peak & Off-Peak).
So if they were going to have Overnight STM they would have to extend one of the other windows by a shed load of hours.. To do this and still stay within the 5% daily capture rate they would have to raise the Volume Threshold by a huge margin which would result in nobody being caught at the times that VM want them to be!:rolleyes:

Re: New STM/Virgin traffic managent confirmed - so that's why it's slow!
 

If its only got 2 active states how are VM managing to have 3 sessions of stm? I guess it would be 4 if you counted the off peak state as well. This isnt an arsey question either, i'm genuinely curious as to how they can do it.
