Finally got my Sky TBB results to work, the large green spike was when I had my PS3 on downloading a demo from PSN, plus 2 laptops running constantly just browsing.

Also bear in mind there appears to be a fault on my line (noise I suspect), which is yet to be rectified, but either way it's not looking brilliant.

I appreciate this is deviating from the topic but could anyone comment on my router stats,

ROUTER STATISTICS

System Up Time: 5:11:04
Port Status TxPkts RxPkts Collisions Tx B/s Rx B/s Up Time
WAN PPPoA 421460 792459 0 26344972 1133512130 5:10:01
LAN Down 0 0 0 0 0 5:11:04
WLAN Up 179284 164847 0 50559423 13928571 5:10:45
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 3488 kbps 800 kbps
Line Attenuation 56.0 dB 31.5 dB
Noise Margin 11.2 dB 11.0 dB

I've been next door to my neighbour and obtained his Sky router stats and his downstream speed is damn near double mine.

His router stats
Connection Speed (down=6713kbps) and (Up=796kbps)
Line attenuation (down=49db) and (Up=26.4db)
Noise Margin (down=6.6db) and (Up=15.5)

Nextdoor's router stats are world's apart from mine, the only thing is I have absolutely no idea what it means.

Any comment's from our more knowledgeable gentry

Well your attenuations higher so indicates more noise, have you removed the bell wire? That should help. What ISP is he with? If its o2 or be etc then his line will give a better reliability at lower snr. Once you have sorted the noise problem, probably the bell wire, then you can get sky to lower your snr

I will be asking some questions to VM next week, my neighbours graph is unreal, same tier as me, same downstream channels, different upstream channel, graph is best I have seen on VM. If they cant reroute me to the same pipe as my neighbour then VM have some serious internal process issues.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Same ISP and no bell wire Craig

What next :)

What I meant by no bell is I'm connected to the test socket with no extensions

Well I managed to get a new line pulled by openreach, it got damaged and split when I had the front door fitted and openreach installed a new line for free. You could intentionally cause some accidental damage and get a new line pulled (or pay £99)

Have you tried a different microfilter?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Its possible I may have damage somewhere, no way of knowing for sure, Ive tried 3 filters so far but I believe the sky ones can be of poor quality so I might have to purchase a different one

The bt phone lines degrade quite rapidly after 20 years so if the property is older than that then that could be the cause. Also some of the cheaper ISP supplied routers (the Thompson tg585 I have in mind) give far less performance than a good quality router

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Good tip coz the house is over 20 years I believe, the router I have is the sagemcom which is the same as my neighbour.

cheers dude

I presume the line comes from a telegraph pole not underground? The underground ones are newer

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Underground, through a green pipe I think

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Sure that's not the vm cable?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Yep pretty sure :D:D:D

The ducting is very similar though

Most consistent day I've seen since the VMNG300 was installed.

IMO, everyone should have at least this level of service or better. In an ideal world...

Had 2 days of a connection that worked almost ok.. so i turned off the monitor assuming it was "fixed"

Put it on last night again when i got home from a jaunt around the country after trying to play some Black Ops and being kicked for being a totally warping laggy *******.

So here i am back to square 1 - am going to seek a free upgrade to 30mbit from 20mbit on the extreme offf chance that will change something. :confused:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

ROFL i love virgin, Upgraded to 30mbit - which probably wont have a single effect or change a thing but i can hope. and now im paying 8 quid less, cos its cheaper than 20mbit
