Currently have 216 T3 timeouts and Virgin Media are sending someone out on Monday, blah.

Your internet must be almost like 56K dial up!!!

I moved from Crawley to Sawbridgeworth on the weekend, to an area where Sky dishes are not allowed (and subsequently a lot of people go for a Virginmedia bundle). My very under-utilised Crawley connection has now been exchanged for something much different. I can see arround 8 virginmedia SSIDs nearby, previously I could see none!).

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...10-06-2013.png

The increase in minimum latency seems to be partly due to me streaming via Lovefilm (the outage was when I was rearranging everything).

Despite taking my V1 Superhub and TiVo with me, I was given a Superhub 2 and a new Samsung Tivo. I'm currently using the SH2 in router mode, mainly for the 5GHz feature.

Strange thing is, despite having a dodgy -looking graph, everything seems to be working fine.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
You ping of 122 is not good, that is why i said chose a local server, i would expect a ping of around 15, your jitter looks ok though.

yes i have done tested a close server and yes my ping is like you said i was just trying to show of my low jitters at a server so far away my local test are about the same as yours but i have had 10 to 20 jitters on average for the last 1 year and i am very happy they finally fixed it

how did you get your sh2 did you pay as i phoned them and had a moan as my sh 1 is broken in the end the man agreed i will get one but he said i have to wait and they will contact me, do you think he was chatting **** as i still have not heard back

I wouldn't get too excited, I've had a second upstream for about 2 months now and the 120meg upgrade isn't due until September (was previously July, got pushed back about 2 weeks ago)

Almost as good as mine - the hogher yellow might reflect your own use. The yellow hardly matters if the blue is as low as it is.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Mine is looking a bit better as of late.. upstream bonding has helped alot, I think I will wait until the fix date provided for extra capacity to be added and see how the connection is then before jumping ship to Infinity.

Ah right cool, it would probably be better if I was in modem mode I assume, they said they were doing some load balancing/adding extra capacity over the next couple of weeks when I called them about something else so thought that might be the cause of the spikes but if it's mainly the blue that matters I am very happy

Sephiroth 15-06-2013 15:05

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Not necessarily better in modem mode because it's still your router that's linked to TBB. But the CPU load on your own router will be lower than on the SH and the contrast between peak and ff peak on TBB should be less marked.

The blue is the average. That's why it matters.

I thought in modem mode the modem itself still sees all the traffic while filtering out the correct packets (BPI) - so surely the marked difference between peak and off peak wouldnt change? (correct me if im wrong)

Yes, the modem applies BPI - but that is an in-line function and is rate limited by the configuration file. But the arrival rate of TBB pings is influenced by circuit utilisation as are router responses which are also sensitive to whatever else the router is doing.

When I'm in modem mode, the difference isn't as marked as when I'm in router mode (my current mode). I'm not currently at home. So what I've pasted below is a TBB with my own system quiet. The SH2 is doing the TBB work.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Just logged on to my nans superhub to see how her 30mb service is doing, and noticed she has 8 upstream channels ? Never seen this before, she's connected to the same UBR as me too. 8 downstream channels for 30mb is a bit odd no?

Sephiroth 15-06-2013 15:47

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
The number of DS channels is not a function of the tier you are on. VM aim that everyone will have 8 DS channels so that eventually you can hit 200 meg or more (8 channels supports 400 megs but SNR has to be high all the time and thy'll have to resegment so as to avoid serious congestion).

Two US channels allow up to 40 meg at current modulation but the frequenxy is noise sensitive which makes it tricky increase the bit density (modulation increase from 16QAM).

jarrodstrachan 15-06-2013 15:56

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Ah right, wasn't aware they were doing that.. not that it will make much difference to my connection as I think downstream utilisation in my area is fine. Especially with having 8 channels available.

I was actually speaking to a friend yesterday about whether Virgin will offer 200mb in the next year or two. I know they did a trial a while back, but I don't know the ins and outs..

Have these swings in connection constantly over a 24hour period, usually it is more of the Friday/Saturday variant though.


Several users in same area as me ( rm7/8 ) get the identical red spiking at identical times, Apparently it's a 5 month running fault now and i have been informed by my "customer complaint liason" that ""Networks have currently engaged our network partners Cisco and Telindus in trying to locate where this problem is, hopefully we'll have more information over the coming days""

I'm glad they're trying to put EVERYONE on the same number of DS channels. It just makes sense, really. Technically, there's no real limit to the number of channels they can have though, is there? I mean the SH itself might be a limitation, but DOCSIS3 doesn't have a hard limit or anything, I don't think.

I wonder if new hardware would be required to go above 8 DS channels. If it is, I'd imagine they'd just roll out DOCSIS3.1 hardware instead.

200Meg would be nice, if only because it would be 120Meg under STM :p

Interesting! According to the Wiki article, there is no defined limit so I wonder if that's a EuroDOCSIS thing.

Still, be pretty sweet to have a 1334.88Mbit connection!

The hump in the middle is when I set the SH2 5GHz wireless away from 450 Mbps to 217 Mbps. It's now set back to 450 Mbps and the phenomenon is repeatable.

Possibly since one obvious difference is DOCSIS 6MHz v euroDOCSIS 8MHz bandwidth, but then VM did that much publicised 1+Gbps trial in London a while back? Then again DOCSIS3.1 with orthogonal frequency division whatcha-me-callits is a forthcoming interest that is still in "chicken & egg" stage in respect of getting the on wafer silicon costs down with an as yet unknown demand to warrant volume yield rates to persuade incumbent ISP/MSO's to upgrade their infrastructure to clean up RF spectrum 5-1002MHz!
All rather exciting but a tad difficult to objectively differentiate the marking spin/hyperbole from the technical reality!
Can't see VM even entertaining any pilots until BT Infinity start cramping their style further in next couple of years time! ;)
…and then DOCSIS 4 will hit us! ;)

One can only hope! If it's a supply and Demand thing, then I'd like to think that LibGlobal will make it worth their while. Ordering a bunch of equipment for one ISP, even one the size of Virgin, is one thing but for an ISP the size of LibGlobal? I guess it depends on how they run their franchises as well but fingers crossed.

Do you really expect to see a DOCSIS 4, though? Seems as though the next logical step would be to start finding cheaper ways of deploying FTTP.

Wouldn't the best way for Virgin to offer FTTP to just, slide fibre up the the existing copper conduit? Cabinets for Virgin seem to be street based also, atleast in my area, so the distance to the cabinet would be reasonably short = less fibre... that said, I don't even know if the cabinets themselves could handle multiple fibre connections, I'm just taking a guess

Sephiroth 19-06-2013 19:39

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
It still has to be fibre from the local cabinet up to the aggregation point (currently a coax to fibre aggregation point). So lots & lots of fibre.

jarrodstrachan 19-06-2013 21:22

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Oh I thought that Virgin was fibre all the way to the cabinet in my street :S. The engineer told me that the fibre was to a bigger cabinet towards the top of my street and from there it was a copper to my cabinet, I just didn't take notice lol

Yeah I'm really not impressed with still being stuck on 5mbit upload. I mean fair enough my area isn't heavily utilised and before the farcical stupid TM I could get full speed both up and down more or less any time I wanted and for how long I wanted it.

I wonder if they will move the estimated date forward for the 120mbit rollout again as you would have thought that at least some part of Uddingston would have US bonding going by now.

It's usually a problem with the TBB site or routing to it, have you seen if it affected any non VM connections too?

It's not a huge issue but VM are looking into it as it happens to all* SH2's that are in router mode. The theory is its either too taxed by the routing functions to respond in a timely manner to pings, or it's just designed to treat ping packets as a low priority.

Either way it doesn't really affect your connections quality, just makes the TBB graphs look a little colourful.

Just as an example: Router Mode SH2

yes but there is packet loss small amounts must be effecting it slightly can you tell me who told you virgin media are looking in to it thanks

as i can run it in modern mode due to others on wireless

can you use a sh1 and a super hub 2 together one in modern mode and one wireless

The 10pm bump must have been TBB as I can see it on my Sky connection, although its not so obvious as its only a 1ms increase

also does your ip change in modern mode as the super hub 1 changed your ip i think

Yes it will change.

I didn't see any packet loss in the running portion of your TBB. The event at c. 20:00 looks to me like a modem reset.

When the SH2s move from v19 to v23 or whatever firmware release you'll get in a couple of weeks (AFAIK), router mode latency improves. You've seen my router mode TBB posted here in this thread;had thayt since moving off v19 a few weeks ago,

Finally, the spikes aren't affecting anything unless the average latency (blue) rises as well - which it doesn't.

Is that definitely the internet at your "old" house? It's quite likely that the IP has been assigned elsewhere. Or do you still have access to the equipment there?

fix your link l0l, try get yourself onto another upstream. I use the cable replug trick to get onto a another upstream id which gives me this :DD https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2013/06/14.png
I'm not in a double speed area yet.

cable replug trick?

jarrodstrachan 23-06-2013 21:48

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Nope all of my upstream channels are like this :(.

EDIT: When you say cable replug, do you mean the coax cable? Or a simple modem reset

Cheers

Coax sorry. There was a thread about it for the VMNG300 modem, but works for me on the SH1

Haven't tried on the SH2 as I don't have it and don't know if I really need it if I only use modem mode.

Looks as if the Telford UBR has been put on to 2 upstreams overnight (or at least the bit I'm connected to).

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...24-06-2013.png

Still on 5 downstream channels though. Not sure if that means anything as there never seems to be any congestion, can usually hit max speed all the time.

What just happened to the minimum latency of the VM network? Just checked craigs graphs and seems like everyone on VM is affected.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Yup, same on mine:

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2014/07/35.png

Peering link went down or something? It smells of a routing issue that has just automatically fallen over in some way.

How very peculiar. Getting a fair amount of packet loss as well (although it's not noticeable).

MaverickJesus 27-06-2013 22:23

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
They've probably got some cheap off-the-back-of-a-lorry bandwidth deal with Cogent tied up so figured they would route a few million people via cheese country and see if anyone noticed.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Past few days my internet has been really great (besides fluctuating download speeds at peak time), with the fix date for upstream and downstream utilisation not until 7th of August.

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2013/07/49.png

I'm just wondering, if downstream utilisation can cause fluctuating pings, with spikes as seen in the graph? I can do a speedtest at ANY time and get my full 11.5mbps upload, but download speed varies at peak time from 50mb to 125mb.

This was just over a week ago:

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/m...23-06-2013.png

This seems like upstream utilisation to me, I'd struggle to get more than 3mbps upload at peak time, about a week ago
