If the other property has channel numbers the same as your (they don't all have to be - sy 75% of them) then you're both served by the same group.

Thanks Serphiroth, I do that in the morning I don't want to disturb my old dear.

My modem for a while has been dropping the connection over and over, after each reset. So I phoned VM Lol, Anways lots of more power cycling, then I was walked through putting modem back into router mode, then back to modem mode. He said there was some tinkering there side and at the end of it all some friendly advice to look in future of the forums to find out how to set modem mode. Lol, I 100% sure I was clear that my problem was about my connection dropping. Nothing like phoning a helpline and have the operator patronise, you lol it was actually funny.

Anyways, modems staying on now, and its on different upstream channels and since then the latency has dropped dramatically (more like my moms connection).

If you spoke to offshore - forget it. Nothing useful comes from them on the broadband help side.

That TBB graph is pretty dire. Your stats were perfectly good and that surprises me. Whatever it is stay in modem mode. You don't need any complexity to be added by the SH's router functions.

May we see the network log, please to include a time when it dropped out.

Is the SH2 on v26 firmware?

Is the reset always associated with a failed SW upgrade message (which shouldn't affect you aty all)?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Modem is v26, the call centre had me do a factory reset. Normally with reset I just get

downstream locked followed by TOD established.

Sephiroth 22-09-2013 22:56

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Factory reset is a waste of time. It clears all your settings and puts the firewall, IP flood detexct and a whole load of stuff on that you're better having switched off.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
My IP address changed recently (from an 86.x.x.x address to a 81.x.x.x), so I'm guessing some kind of segmentation has taken place(?) and the graph is showing a marked improvement. Gone are the hillocks that used to populate the graph at peak times and speed is still good.

This is with SH2 and 26 firmware. The speed test results are over wireless (a 5GHz USB adapter on my desktop).

The peaks are (I'm assuming) my Samknows device.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Which firmware is it running? Early versions of firmware made the graph look terrible but it would generally seem to not affect the connection at all.

edit, just seen you said latest firmware, the yellow is higher than i would expect it to be, i am sure Seph has a good opinion on this. :)

Well considering that the 2nd super hub 2 replacement still lead to lots of disconnections and far greater latency. I stick to using this hub and my own router, oh and both were on the latest firmware, also I didn't ask for hub 1 the technician did it, and told me how thats whats happening now when people are getting probs.

That red block indicates that your WAN IP address has changed; this, in turn, suggests that an area resegmentation has been completed and you have been moved to a new CMTS and/or line card. If you have before/after modem stats to compare, this can be easily confirmed or otherwise.

So that analysis of mine can't be confirmed. You seem to be on the same line card and CMTS because nothing's changed.

Did you have to set up a new TBB or was the red bloxck an overnight outage?

Risco - I take that back.

Pingtest said you were <50 miles from Maidenhead (my pingtest says the same and I am) . But I see that you're in Maidstone and that distance has to be at least 70 miles.

When I ping Maidstone on speedtest.net, I get 115 ms! So your 34 ms is actually good.

Hmm it say distance at the bottom but let me check as it sounds a bit less than it should be, ok the distances at the bottom of the results aren't to far off MK is 342miles the shortest drivable route and Maidenhead 370.

So im a fair bit further away than you.

Indeed, the highest ping you should ever get on VM's network to those sites is about 30ms, and that's on the furthest reaches of their network. The closer you are, the less you should get.

He's not being cryptic, he's just not opening a can of worms unless it's necessary. Tracing the cause of high pings can be a bit of an effort and it's usually something you have little control over.

The best thing to do is pathping to something you know has a higher ping than it should, that'll tell you where the extra latency is coming from. If it's not the first hop, it's something beyond your control. If it's not on Virgin's network, it's beyond their control (to a degree).

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Indeed, this is probably exactly why qasdfdsaq didn't go into much further detail. I'm not convinced that an elevated ping of 10ms to a single site is an issue worth getting into. Unless you can demonstrate that a site has significantly higher ping than it should, it'll be a nightmare to pin down the real cause of it.

In any case, the fact that there's no issue up to the BBC shows that the local connection is fine, so even if we could find a site with a higher ping, it's almost certainly something out of his control (And Good luck explaining this to first line).

Can Anyone help me out with some advice on this one please?

120M/12M service
SH2 in modem mode

I don't see the problem in the WinMTR. Could you be more specific please? I didn't understand the bit I highlighted: "A couple of WinMTR results which seem to indicate a big problem with the first hop outside."

In your stats, you have post-RS errors. Are these growing?

The WinMTR wrst column has figures of 1472ms and 1565ms and for the bbc set an average of 31ms - these seem unusually high to me, but maybe not?

The Post RS errors have increased from around 300 immediately after the reboot (which is fairly normal) to the current values in three days.

Sephiroth 04-10-2013 08:07

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
The BBC according to my eyes had an average of 20 ms. The max at the Hemel CMTS means that a packet addressed directly to VM's Hemel server had an RTT of 1472/1565. This means that occasionally, the low priority pings are given degraded priority over other traffic - but note, they are not discarded which is what they would be if the CMTS was congested.

The post-RS errors shouldn't be occurring. True, the rate is lowish but they are lost packets and will affect your experience. When you changed IP addresses, were the past and current address totally different? The usual thing if you switch off for a week or more is that you get a new IP address on the same line card and that your downstream channels are in the same bonding group. Have your downstream channel numbers changed? If the channels are totally different then you've been moved to a different line card and so has everyone else on your cabinet. If all that has changed, there has possibly been a resegmentation and the loading on your segment is different from before.

The Post-RS errors are not congruent with the SNR/RxMER values. I can't see if you have an SH2 or a SH1; the former always shows lower SNR values than the SH1. But either way, the reported SNR is more than adequate to support no noise, which is the usual cause for packet loss on the downstream. Also, the SH1 is known not to count post-RS errors correctly.

So, if the post-RS count is correct, that suggests the packets either arrive corrupted at the SH or are corrupted en-route which needs to be investigated by VM.

It might pay to see what your neighbours are experiencing.

It is an SH2, which rebooted (for unknown reason) very early this morning. IP address is completely different before/after summer hol , but will need to rummage through files to see if I have the previous channels recorded anywhere. Re-segmentation is a possibility - though you'd hope that would improve things, not make them worse. Time to face the fun of calling VM I suppose. Thanks for your assistance.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
It won't be better if they've swung you and a load of others onto a temporary CMTS (currently HEME9) while they beef up the one you were on. I notice you only habe one upstream channel - should be two when they've finished their upgrades.

In that case what remediation have you tried? Like when was the SH1 last rebooted? I'm trying to see if this is a variant of what TH reported some months back and what Ravenstart studied on the VM forum.

as you can see i rebooted about 9 this morning, it seems to be a firmware issue since they changed the upstream packet buffering, where the superhub cannot cope under high load (CMTS side)

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2013/11/8.png

You know more than I do Craig. Where did they change the packet buffering? From what to what? For the period you were not there, what high load was there? Were you doing anything between 14:00 & 16:00 as shown on the current live graph?

In the various studies performed on the minimum latency perturbatuions (R37 it was), buffering and delay were strong candidates. But the phenomenon was always cleared for a coule of days by rebooting.

My downstream is flicking between 1 and 7 channels and 2 to 1 upstream... Looks like something is broken before my sh2. VM say it should be fixed by 7pm, which is about the time I get in, so let's hope!

Yep - that graph is displaying exactly the phenomenon that thenry described at length in his long running CRAWLEY thread (sorry - you'll have to search for that yourself if you're interested). There are two keywords: "Crawley" and "Ramping".

The same keywords, but certainly "ramping" on the VM forum should bring you to Ravenstar68's thread where this phenomenon is basically debugged.

If I recall correctly (it's some months ago this year), wirel;ess lay at the centre of things but I can't be sure.

Keep us posted.

craigj2k12 07-10-2013 15:15

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Yes, I even contributed to the thread, my opinion was (and still is) the buffer on the router filling up, its the only explanation for the continuous ramping. This is doubly confirmed by the fact that the routers web interface becomes slower and slower until unusable, with a positive correlation between high network load.

When I posted the live graph firstly at the end of last week I was only on one upstream, but things improved when I got a 2nd added, and it was only about 3 weeks ago I went from 4 to 6 downstreams, so it would seem Virgin are still mid way through capacity upgrades in Stafford, which has never been a good area (high student population) even though FTTC has been available for nearly 2 years here now

Sephiroth 07-10-2013 15:23

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Yes - when load was reduced on the SH1 (was it wireless), the phenomenon abated. The phenomenon has not been reported on the SH2.

MaverickJesus 07-10-2013 21:18

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Not VM related, but for anyone interested in general networking, here is the impact of a 200mbps Powerline run on an FTTC connection:

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/ping/s...07-10-2013.png

Powerline is connected between the Openreach modem and an RT-N56U, generally gets around ~60mbits peak on the ring I'm running it on. It seems to add around ~3ms latency, a small amount of jitter (over Ethernet there is no yellow unless I'm downloading), and noticeable intermittent packet loss.

Dirty power indeed!

Not sure why the image has died, I'll try to generate another one - I did it as a little experiment to see how much throughput I could get via Powerline across my house, its pretty redundant as the whole house is rigged up with Cat5 :D

VM has confirmed that there is a Class C resegmentation under way, so that seems to fit with your suggestion. Also spoke to CS and they will apply an account credit once the work has been completed. Now just need to sit it out until the work is done. Thanks again for the analysis.

Seemed to be having some issues last night. Admittedly I didn't even notice in the evening but I wasn't really using the internet much:

It was around midnight when I noticed my phone was switching to data network instead of wireless - all 3 wireless networks in my home were offering poor connectivity.

How interesting! Network wide?

Or TBB wide. Or Qasi's revenge.

Kushan 08-10-2013 11:52

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 
Well I was definitely having network issues, so I don't think it was a TBB thing. Qasi, though? Wouldn't put it past him!

Just perfect there is nothing wrong with that! lol

I am surprised you are still online actually, although it looks like it maybe back to normal looking at that graph.

Have you tried your normal connection in the last 30mins as that graph now looks spot on for a VM connection?

It was working okay for a while earlier. But I'm not actually at home now that's why I'm using mobile.

Whatever the problem is it is giving me a 43 ping and only getting download speed of 24Mb instead of my usual 62Mb.

Similar in Suffolk, think broadband is woeful and speed is under 10Mbps!

Samknows reports the same, similar Ping region as you too.

Do a traceroute to pingbox1.thinkbroadband.com and see if anything looks unusual.

Looks like a large spike between hop 4 and 5 there. Within VM's network.

Very strange how Snoop and myself are both affected at the exact same time as per our TBB graphs. Obviously a East Anglia issue!
