Lol, yeah this does just keep getting better... What make/model was your router philce?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

The trusty DIR-615

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Shame, good 'ol box those are. Tried a recovery mode firmware flash/reset? As long as you get a flashing orange light power while powering on with the reset button held down there might still be hope...

P.S. If it's running dd-wrt I know there's a "bug" where it doesn't behave too well when your cable modem goes down or needs restarting. Normally you'll need to reboot both the modem and router to get things back online, but I've written a script so you don't need to. Basically it automatically monitors the WAN interface and resets just that without having to reset the whole device when neccessary.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

no nothing im afraid, just the blue light on the right hand side.

Reset button does nothing, even held down when powered up.

No not DD-WRT had problems with a wireless printer and the tech support guys there wouldn't help me cos it wasn't stock firmware. They replaced the printer in the end, but I never got round to putting WRT back on!
I remember the rebooting problem with the modem going offline, to be honest I had to do the same with the stock firmware.

Will VM replace it as it's theirs?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I need it as I have to use DMZ workaround to have everything working ;)

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

If it's <2 years old it should be under warranty still, so yes they should replace it. Assuming they supplied it of course. But at less than £10 each on Ebay, postage cost to send it back would probably make up half the price of a new one.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I had mine replaced a couple of months ago. Didn't have to send it back, just posted on VM's forum there was a smell of burning from it and it had stopped working.

Got a new one sent in about 3 days.

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...22-01-2011.png

now in terms of things like ssh and web browsing speed, after I disabled hardware tcp checksums on my NIC, VM improved significantly. So with that combined with the VM side improvements I am at the stage now when using ssh at 6.30pm was almost normal (had to watch for jitter to notice it) and right now its noticeable but not severe. Browsing speed is decent now last few days even during peak.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I was on overlay till Friday last week. It was better than I have now.
I have a 86.24.107.xx ip now, but was on 213.81.69.xx before.

Uploads are ok roughly around 1.4Mb, so better than the 250-300K I was getting. Latency is shot though, browsing is very erratic.

Clearly I have ended up on a crappy UBR.

I only wanted XL, but the guy at the CEO's office said I might as well have 50Mb.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

speedtest? your graph doesnt suggest poor performance. (at least compared to mine).

I was put onto Overlay last year after legacy was crippled severely. Looks like all the early signups were on 10Mb and onto Legacy. Once I was swapped things were great for a few months. Then things started to slow again. Especially on uploads.

Now last week they guy at CEO's office did a "test" and that bumped me back to Legacy, things are slightly better than overlay, but not great.

I really want 30Mb, but not sure where I will be on the network for this.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

yeah your 24hr graph looks very good for VM's standards. You shouldnt be seeing VM side congestion issues in my view, and slow browsing may well be something your side such as AV http scanning. Since you run kaspersky I would lie blame at its door.

My graph since my outage today looks very good, but I am going to ring the CEO office tommorow before tech arrives to see if he can confirm a reseg has been done. Or if its my modem connecting as a one off to different upstream channel.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Yes, I agree, Ill take it off and use Norton again, I got a 5 user 1 year license for £8 for Kaspersky so I suppose you get what you pay for!

Things are definitely going on round here, just what they are upto isnt clear though!

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

When I used antivir compared to nod32 the filesystem scanning was noticebly better but the http scanning made it feel like dialup on web browsing, the difference was unreal, it also like kaspersky messes up speedtests so I went back to nod32. I assume in kaspersky as a temporary test you can disable just the http module and leave the rest of it turned on.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

today jitter is notiebly higher than yesterday although today is a weekend, if I compare to phil's graph, yetserday my jitter was slightly lower than his but today its higher, so the trend I seen yesterday is probably not going to be the ongoing trend. It is still defenitly lower than before the outage but not such a huge gap now. In addition that 2nd upstream channel I was originally on appears to be completely inaccesible now.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I'm impressed by just how suboptimal the standard routing is if the route flaps can shave a third off your ping... Annoys me a bit somewhat too as it shows VM's network paths are at least able to perform on par with the competition, yet they choose for it to not do so.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

yeah I seen that many times with isp's, they route where its cheapest to balance out utilisation on their network. VM's is suboptimal here most of the time it usually routes through leeds which adds about 6ms to the latency. Right now its not tho since late last night.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

as far as my port is concerned the planned upgrades havent happened yet, still in march scheduled. So this change was unrelated and I am assuming is to do with uplift work. Relieved by that as jitter is already double of 3 days ago. VM really need to get on top of this and have tons of spare empty capacity for growth rather than upgrading so its only adequate and then getting completely overloaded a month later.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Some works going on up the road from me today, at the exchange cab I think (bigger with cooling fans). Not Virgin, but contractors for them. Didnt get close enough to see exactly, but the cabs were completely open and the pits were open too.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I had a bt openreach guy over a few days ago to re-connect my telephone line back to BT. He asked why I didnt take BT broadband? I informed him due to the long line length...he then went on to say BT Infinity is currently being planned(12-18 Months) for Montfort. Perhaps Just a Lie?

Would I be correct in saying even if Infinity is rollled out if your cab is not enabled you wont get it?

Also did anyone here email our ex-MP to get ADSL in our area improved? I remember reading this somewhere...Just wanted to know if some of the copper had been replaced. The BT estimator is now showing me a speed up to 5mb...

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Yeah I emailed her. I got a reply of her assistant after the general election stuff started, stating BT said they upgrading copper cables to improve speeds. However that was due to be done by last oct so clearly got fed a load of rubbish. In the same letter it stated the area wont be getting FTTC due to confidental commercial reasons. She is on BT's board and it would have been a nice goodbye present from her, but I guess she wasnt bothered enough to push the issue hard. Prior to that she was a good local MP I thought, helped me with other issues effectively, this one in theory should have been easy for her given her position. Our new MP seems useless and doesnt even reply to anything.

However I am not sure if I would jump to infinity now, data I have seen shows people have packet loss issues, high pings due to interleaving (DLM) and even still getting line dropouts. So adsl issues still seem to plague VDSL, the difference been that simply VDSL is much faster. Of course also any service on VDSL at the moment is using BT wholesale which means very high contention as isp's will only budget for less than 100kbit per user on usage, VM do budget higher then that.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Not all VDSL is on BT wholesale. (as I understand from Andrews and Arnold)?

They are the only ISP I would go back to ADSL/VDSL with.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

aaisp use BT wholesale for VDSL. They get round the budgeting issue by charging a premium for a small usage cap. But even doing that they still suffer from BTw congestion issues from time to time and have had to resort to public blog posts to get BT to fix.

The isp's to look out for to avoid BT wholesale is probably either sky or O2 launching the service as they have large LLU networks, maybe even talktalk. If they use their own exchange backhaul for the service then can expect a higher usage budget per end user. For central leics I would say the only realistic one is sky, as O2 not LLU'd both exchanges and I think talktalk will budget much less per user than sky.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Ok thanks for the info. Hopefully by the time BT decide to give us FTTC (if ever!) these issues will be resolved.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)

Wigan area got the upgrade and not good news, friend of mine there had cable for years the 50mbit tier. His service was generally fine (has moderate jitter but otheriwse ok), then when they uplifted his speed suddenly his downstream speeds are low, upstream is about 70-80% of max, iplayer buffers, jitter shot up. We checked his upstream channel and it is docsis2 qam16 so didnt fall back to qpsk. Simply looks like a balls up with underestimating extra capacity needed.

you seem to change your mind a lot, before you thought was bad was still stuck on qpsk and commented that more than once, but now you think its ok again?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I didn't make any judgement I merely asked for clarification as the two run on exactly the same network right up to the FPM and RPM at the hub site.

Could be running QPSK as on oversight or may be other reasons.

activated now on this and they left superhub mac on for me also so I can switch back without a phonecall.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Yes but "by the end of 2012" so probably Jun 2013!
Fingers crossed that our cabs get upgraded though!

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

leics central is getting also.

and its by end of 2012 so could be a year away, and also could be delays as seems common. But its great news we both finally now got in the planning stage.

As VM now is back to how it was early in the year, congestion 24/7 with it extreme at evenings and weekends.
