Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I admit I know practically nothing about this, but how does the spectrum used affect it? As in, would the 800Mhz spectrum see a significant difference to latency compared to say the 2.6Ghz band?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

In itself, no. Underlying latency will be the same. Differing levels of congestion may affect latency in the same way different (non-bonded) channels on cable will do.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Is that going by the same principle as fibre should have better latency than adsl? These graphs have shown us that what should be a better technology is not always the case depending on how the company implements and runs it.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I know what you're getting at, but your comparison doesn't apply here. You're presumably comparing two different ISPs running two different technologies over two different networks to two different sets of customers. That would equate to comparing Vodafone 3G with O2 4G or vice versa.

To relate to 3G/4G you would have to compare graphs from the same ISP, running two different technologies, from the same exchange, over the same backhaul, to the same core network, to the same set of customers in the same location.

For example BT Infinity FTTP vs. BT Total Broadband, VM Big Red Internet vs. VM Cable/ADSL, etc. For fibre to have higher latency in either case would be extremely rare.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Hi i`m new to these forums, i had virgin 30mb broadband installed in november which was fine until a few weeks ago then when playing wow online at the usual time at around 7-8pm ish i noticed major latency issues,just becoming totally unplayable and internet browsing the same not unusable just very slow,and has been everyday since,ive just started thinkbroadband monitor today and from what i`ve seen in here to compare it with i dont think its looks too good,just wanted some advice on what to do next http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...5-01-2013.html

i hope ive linked that right,im new to forums sorry if its not worked proper

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

That looks like a very high utilisation problem if it is mostly in the evenings. You can try virgins community forums to get it logged but don't be surprised if it takes them a few months or more to fix it, especially if you are in south london

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Thanks for the reply,im not in south london area i`m in Wigan area according to their website i am due a double speed upgrade at the end of feb,im not to familiar with how it all works its probably fine at the other times of the day just the time i use it dosent work which ****es me off a bit as you expect to get what you pay for.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Posted the above on VM forum as well, got a reply today :

Very sorry about this but you are affected by 2 issues:

F002308103 Low SNR + FEC errors, You might find that your Virgin Broadband, Virgin TV or TiVo® services are intermittent. Estimated fix date of 20/01/2013

F001996558 High upstream utilisation causing slow speeds, lagging etc. Estimated fix date of 23/01/2013

Interesting that when you phone up they never know about these things, its always down to a faulty superhub or the users pc :doh:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I'd be tempted to see if those dates are met with a resolution, if not and they get put back, then make a serious decision about whether you want to wait it out.

When I used to be with VM a few years ago, I had the same 2 issues as yourself which in the end didnt get resolved in a timely manner (over 12 months), so I bailed and took my business elsewhere.

The low SNR issue for me would come and go making it very difficult for VM to trace the source.

Also the high upstream utilisation issue was sporadic and didn't justify the necessary work to upgrade the hardware.

Just bear these issues in mind, and in the end I ended up with a slow 5.6Mbps Download speed and a measly 0.9 mbps upload speed from Sky that ran far smoother than my 50 Mbps offering from Virgin.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Unfortunately, this is where Virgin often lets itself down in a big way. If you can, ring up technical support and ask them directly for information on those F00 numbers. They'll have access to the history and they'll be able to see just how far those tickets go. One thing I would point out, however, is the number for the upstream utilisation is significantly less than the SNR one. SNR issues can take time to fix, but usually no more than a week or two. So if we assume that ticket is relatively recent. The Utilisation ones can take literally years and given the number it is (tickets are assigned sequentially), it has already been open for quite some time.
Virgin has a nasty habbit of just upping the resolution time on those tickets completely arbitrarily so they're never "Behind".

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Two upstreams now. The TBB efect is marked as on others we've seen.

Pity the DS went to pot with 28 dB SNR and -11 dBmv on the same channels as before with decent values.

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

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I will most definately be chasing up on these 2 tickets. Do wonder why they bother giving people this 'free' upgrade when the network has these kind of issues.

Found out today that Sky is going to be offering their unlimited package in my area within six months so that may end up being the answer.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

The additional upstream channel has indeed made a marked difference in this part of Crawley.

Thejitter has reduced from 11 ms to 1 ms (according to my JDAST reports).

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Surprising how well it performs (essentially flawlessly) despite those stats... Essentially zero packet loss throughout the day aside from the two resyncs.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yes it is a surprise. Last time I had those schmitty DS power levels and poor SNR performance was terrible, including packet loss. It sort of flies in the face of the advice I dole out to others!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

pssssssss :Yes: .....the bonded up streams makes huge difference...well done ;)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Believe it or not, those signal and power levels are within spec, depending on who you ask. It was never as clear cut as it should have been, they kept changing and adjusting the numbers. It was always confusing because in reality the CMTS you're on makes a huge difference to what's acceptable. It used to be "HEre are the ex-NTL levels, here are the ex-TW levels" but as time went on, the network became more and more mixed with Motorola and Cisco equipment all mingled together. It even changes with newer Cisco models, just to be awkward.
Basically I'm saying that the power levels are more of a guideline and the +/- 6 max is just what'll work best for everyone. The SNR can theoretically drop to as low as 20 and still work but once again, there's a lot more variables that are hard to check that makes it easier to just say 28+

I would honestly advise that you seriously consider the move to Sky, assuming I'm right about those ticket numbers. I guess Virgin just keeps extending the deadline to try and keep people happy, but I'd personally rather just hear that it'll be 6 or 12 months before a resolution than be told what's basically a lie. I actually wonder how they get away with it.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

funny to see VM continue upgrading lower utilisation areas ahead of heavy utilisation areas and they wonder why people like me and QTX are leaving.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...17-01-2013.png

My area is also back down to 4 downstream channels.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yes, indeed. Official spec puts power levels at -15 to +15 too, but many people see problems before this and some see no problems outside of these.

---------- Post added at 13:37 ---------- Previous post was at 13:36 ----------

Unfortunately my personal experience fairly well reflected the above, with the addition that in some cases they'd say the previous ticket was "fixed" as soon as a few people went away on holiday and the load went down... for a week

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

As Qasi says. The SNR strikes me as being the key value. I published in another post somewhere a table of low power levels and the necessary SNR with headroom published in the DOCSIS 3 specs. In practice, the SNR headroom needs to be DOCSIS value + 6dB to allow for impairments not attributable to the foreseen DOCSIS environment.

Yet mine currently seems to be running OK with one channel at 28 dB SNR & power at -11.5 dBmv (albeit some DS speed loss). When I had a VMNG 300, it was plain shocking when I had that brief spell at 28 dB SNR. Is my SH a good'n? LOL!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Superhubs do tend to report a higher SNR than VMNG300's on the same line.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

So you think another upstream could fix this? What's the sort of time-frame for them to do something like that?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

after your downstream upgrades are done. i waited around 5months after my download double ETA was met. others have had to wait less than that and some more. in short no one knows.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I don't think the number of downstreams versus the number of upstreams has any impact.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

load balancing Kushan?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yeah, but that's load balancing of the network, not of the down streams the guy has. There may be an over-utilisation of the upstream he's on, but even if he was only on one downstream it wouldn't be any better is what I'm saying.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

It is obviously related to peak time usage. Pretty sure that more users active can increase some type of errors. Not sure if that would be HEC/FEC or something else, or indicative of an amp on its way out or whatever though.

The packet loss makes me think its not as simple as utilisation.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Given each downstream channel requires a certain amount of upstream bandwidth to work, it does.

Considering one downstream channel uses up to 5-10% of the upstream channel capacity to run, fully utilizing 8 downstream channels with one upstream could result in up to 80% of the upstream capacity being utilized just to operate the downstream, while nobody is uploading anything. That leaves very little upstream capacity left over for actual uploading, especially given congestion issues can begin at above 70% upstream utilization

---------- Post added at 03:12 ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 ----------

However if the network only had one downstream (aside from downstream congestion issues) that would leave at least 90% of the upstream capacity available, compared to the ~40-50% left over with 8 downstream channels in use.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

There's an interesting article on the subject here.

The takeaway in the context of Qasi's post is that the frequency of ACKs sent back (through a busy) upstream on data received will slow the download (decrease throughput).

Whether or not that is a 5-10% overhead I'll leave to Qasi to justify, if he cares to. But it is an important point that he makes.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Believe it or not, this situation is nothing new to VM. Remember when the 50Meg first came out and had an upload speed of barely over 1.5Mbit? (If I recall correctly). The ACKs alone would nearly congest the upload stream in itself, yet it actually ran fairly smoothly (For most, there's always an exception). Anyway, there is a point in what you're saying but he's having this issue without actually utilising his downstream, which is the point I'm making - just HAVING 8 downstreams versus 1 upstream isn't the issue, there's obviously something else going on there.

I'd like to know where you're getting your figures, though, 5-10% of upstream per downstream for example. Are you referring to the available bandwidth for the connection (What profile the modem is set to), or the available bandwidth for the channels (8x50Mbit on the downstream, 1x~30Mbit on the upstream?) or what?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

I now have 8 downstream but I dont know how many upstream, superhub is crashing 1 min after boot. I cant load the upstream page.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...25-01-2013.png

Mine has been fairly ok in recent times though I really don't like how much jitter there is on the minimum latency, It's been like this since they bonded so could be a side effect of that but it really did used to be a constant flat line a few ms lower than it currently is! my graphs minimum latency appears to go down at peak times and raise during the quiet times which seems odd.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Saying utilisation is healthy or not an issue only to turn around and say there is high utilisation a few days later, is something the Virgin forum staff seem to do on a daily basis. Even when the TBB graphs provided and the description clearly pointed to it in the first place. I have to wonder why they do that as it is either misleading or outright lying.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Poor training is the answer. The people you talk to on the phone are NEVER instructed to lie or mislead about something, they tell you what they see on their screen. The problem is, the training (particularly for offshore) isn't great and many of them don't know how to read the outage page correctly. It involves bringing up the customer's modem in one tool, reading the correct upstream and then searching for that on a different tool (the outage "communicator").
The problem is that what's on the outage communicator isn't always in the same format as the other tool, so a quick ctrl+f doesn't always match. Sometimes, multiple tickets get combined because they're from the same issue but only the details of the "first" ticket gets listed, so it requires digging for the operator to find - many of them don't know how to do this or just can't be bothered. Sometimes, multiple issues are raised as separate tickets for the same area so many agents will just report the first one they find (which may be utlisation when there's also a fault somewhere, for example). There's loads of reasons for it, but the main one is the training documentation is **** poor.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

My comments were in relation to virgins forum staff who I believe are uk based. They are able to check utilisation levels as far as I can see. The call centres are another story altogether.

What I took from your last post is that virgins system is not optimised in the best way for some areas of broadband support. Making a few changes to the system alone could make a huge difference to the amount of information available and in a shorter time, which would benefit all parties

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

The call centres can check utilisation as well, they have access to all the same tools (bar actual telnet access to the UBR's themselves), like I said it's mostly a training thing.

You're not wrong though, there's any number of small changes that would streamline the whole operation, but there's so much red tape involved in changing ANYTHING that it's not even funny. Even the training documents. I was quite good friends with some of our trainers and they begged and pleaded numerous times to update the documentation. One of two things would happen - either they'd just get told no, or they'd get told "sure, go ahead and we'll review the changes", then when the changes came back, someone further up the chain will have dumped everything and made slight modifications to the OLD training documents.

It was quite absurd, really.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Wiggz Thanks for doing that. If on refreshing that page, the power level remains more or less stable, then upstream noise is less likely - that is if you are not getting packet loss at the time of the stats.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yeah, no packetloss currently and that power is staying the same.

If I get some more PL I'll check this power level first.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

as far as I can tell all my stats are right.

I have about 6db power on all DS channels.
42db snr US channels
41dn snr DS channels.

The disconnects always have a T3 entry in the log at same time.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

my fault I think is possibly the superhub power unit, when I turned it on after it was off I noticed a weird faint noise which I think is coming from the psu, the only spare psu I got is also faulty (the one this replaced) I should have a 3rd somewhere since I do have a spare superhub but that I think is lost.

the utilisation does appear higher tho even with this packetloss issue aside, so I wont be revoking my cancellation, and since its going to off sometime next week is no point me getting this issue investigated so no tech will be called out.
