The EU's new rules on net neutrality will hopefully put an end to this traffic shaping nonsense.

Well there's someone who won't be voting UKIP.

If I was going to be a closet racist, I'd vote BNP, not diet bigot.

:LOL:

That's Bigot Lite :D

Woke up this morning with no broadband. Rebooted the SHUB and it eventually came back, but it's not pretty:

Annoyingly, power levels and such seem fine, 8 DS locked but 1 US is "Aborted". Not at home to do more thorough testing.

I also did a speed test, you wouldn't think anything was wrong:

I reported the same problem in another thread but no one replied, is it worth contacting virgin about?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

It's always worth contacting them. I doubt our problems are related as I'm in Warrington.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Always worth phoning up (UK) to see if they're doing anything in your area.

What about the neighbours, Kush?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

No idea on the neighbours, Seph, I'll have to check when I get home. I can VPN in though, so the connection can't be that bad (And the ping graph has calmed down a bit, it seems)- I just can't reboot the hub (unless someone can point me to a way of doing this remotely?).

Just for completeness, here's the stats:

As you can see, everything except that particular upstream seems to check out.

I'm hoping that another reboot will get it back on, but if not then hopefully even on a single upstream I should still have a usable connection. The wife has a raid tonight, so that'll be a good test!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I had a similar outage according to the graph, but I can't VPN in from work to check levels, although my levels are **** anyway.

Run it off a switched PDU or hook it up to some low-voltage embedded device with a relay? :p:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I've got a raspberry Pi, I'm sure there's a blue-peter-esque way of combining that with some sticky-back-plastic to create such a thing.

But frankly I'd rather use it to watch cheap films.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Hehe. Well Raspberry Pis (or Virgin Media DIR-615's) are actually ideal platforms for build-it-yourself solutions like that. All you'd need is a 12v power supply and a transistor. And a few lines of code. You could still easily use it for watching "cheap films" as well.

I've been tempted to build similar things with a DIR-615 and some relay switches for 240v sockets (commercial products cost £30+ per socket), but that's slightly more dangerous when you get it wrong than a 12v supply to a Superhub.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

As fun as that sounds, my electrical engineering is a bit rubbish. Or rather, non-existant.

On the bright side, finally home and rebooted - back to normal, it seems!

I've even got my 2 "other" upstreams showing again. I yearn for the day when they become active so we can maybe get back to 10:1 (or better).

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Well, it's extremely likely both will arrive at the same time.
