Mine used to be like that a little while ago. They'll only need to sell to a couple of torrent freaks in your street and yours will start to look like mine...

ouch kwikbreaks, seems to be getting worse at a rapid rate.

I wonder who had a brain fart when deciding 100mbit doesnt need STM. They decided the network cant cope with sustained 10/20/30 usage but can cope with 100.

Mine also seems to be getting rapidly worse. I think I will cancel the service and stick with FTTC.

Here is a snapshop of my FTTC service just as a comparison;

Yes yet there are still days when it eases...

... it's changes like this that lead me to believe most of the problem can be laid at the door of a single account. The fact that I can often still get quite close to 50Mbps down on a speedtest but the upstream rarely exceeds 2Mbps now at any time is what makes me think it's upstream congestion and putting the two together suggest to me that it is torrenting which VM's flawed shaping is failing to catch.

Cant belive the difference my sky broadband compared to my 10 mb i had with virgin :)

Double check your IP hasn't changed, I'm with Sky LLu and the IP is changing constantly, as soon as I set up the TBB ping monitor it changes again so there is a good chance your looking at someone else's line.

Just a thought, but if it is your IP it's looking pretty damn sweet.

my latest, im curious if the load on the other channel has gone down as this one has clearly gone up.

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/10/22.png

I still rememebr 2 weeks before the speed uplift a reseg was done in my area when philce's area got a large improvement at the same time mine got a detriment (shifted users from already lighter area to mine) and then of course it got significantly worse when the uplift happened.

I swear my neighbour is on his segment as the channel id's and frequencies match and he lives only 1 road away from me just about so its not beyond impossible the segment is accessible from this street.

What I would like to see is regular reseg's that balance out segments regardless of thresholds been breached or not. Surely its not hard to see one area with 20% utilisation and another at say 60% is a good and fair to run a service.

Another reasonable day. The 3-6pm period makes it look to me even more like the congestion can be laid at the door of a single user..

I had an automated http download kick off at midnight which would have been running almost full tilt and accounts for the blip then.

Not sure what you mean m8

FTTC?

Isn't that what Virgins network is? Fibre To The Cabinet?

I'm confused as you seem to be saying that Virgins isnt?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

FTTC is from BT.

My connection has vastly improved since my repull.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Well it's fibre to a cabinet but not necessarily to the one you are connected to which FTTC always is.

Cable has always been called cable sfaik and FTTC almost invariably refers to the BT product which BT Retail market as Infinity.

My Sky LLU Unlimited offering, although I get about 6Mb down and 1Mb Up, plus I've had it put on fastpath to help the ping a wee bit.

Note the little spikes are where I have actually been using it for light surfing, gaming etc not much else.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Mine's gotten worse over the past few days. :/

Virgin's network is Fibre To The Node - there can be, and often are, intermediate cabinets amplifying the signal the coaxial cable carries.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Well I have had my connection fixed and this is what i have been left with!

My Broadband Ping

The ceo's office is just as useless, they phoned me to get this sorted and they did but promised me a follow up call 2 days ago. Still waiting best not hold my breath. Im still just within my 28 days so a cancelation is in order. I cant beleive the hassle this move to vm has caused. 5 days holiday wasted for nothing, now i bet ill have to pay a reconnection back to sky.
Can anyone get me a phone number to the ceo's office or any other advice, given up with vm support forums.
This connection is not good enough for gaming
