Been bumped (early) to 60mbit

End of January is when its official, i hope there is at least another 2 up stream channels: this is garbage again.

VM fail so hard when it comes to upgrade time and having any kind of usable for games service.

BT's WBC has no node in my city I either go via peterborough (my shortest route) or via birmingham. Both require going north before south.

Haha, of course it would be a lot lower if it was direct to london, my point was you should see 2ms lower regardless of routing given where you are in the country, if not for the weirdness.
It might well fix itself one day and untill then it's not impacting you like you say.

I don't think there is any need to show how bad VM are, it's all already there to see and is what happens when you don't invest sufficiently. Branson does the same with his F1 team, selling most of it off and relying solely on CFD so he doesn't have to splash out on a wind tunnel. As a result their still at the back of the grid and scored no points last season.

someone in glasgow would get lower latency on a direct path to london than someone in reading going to london via manchester.

routing obviously affects latency.

I dont think branson has any significant input on VM's investment decisions, he basically sold his brand name for a royalty payment.

What are these spikes? They don't look accidental.

It's the same with Virgin Active gyms; penny-pinching and short cuts on services. Consequence = losing members hand over fist.

same as me i guess its more work on another upstream and some balancing happening to take that strain. Seems they fixed it at 4pm today though ! Back to normal for a while.

This has already happened on mine a few times... Guessing it will be finished soon..

rebooting sorts out the instability.

If Efour & Rashboots (whom we know from last month) had the same TBB efect which cleared at 4 pm it won't have been rebooting the SH that sorted things out.

Efour have you checked if your IP has changed?

Efour 08-01-2013 21:37

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
left it off for 30+ mins dunno if that will get me a new IP -- checked no same IP

thenry 08-01-2013 21:43

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
the monitor you posted doesnt show packet loss for down time suggesting your IP has changed prior to your power down/up just now.

open this

tools.virginmedia.com/

check IP matches the one set to ping
