I thought you was on O2 llu? that looks like their BTw service.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Heh, wonder what's up there Ignition. Since yours is all over the place the whole day, it doesn't look like peak time congestion - I got the same 100ms+ "hump" in Edinburgh so I'm guessing national routing/peering/backbone problem or something. Certainly not local to you (London?) anyway.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Oh that's upstream utilisation apart from the big green stuff at peak.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

ignition related to the akamai BE issue I guess, so not a long term issue on llu O2.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Well in the hunt for the perfect ISP I'm started to get tempted just to set up a wireless link to my work and use their internet connection:

It's only about ~1KM LOS and we're experimenting with long-range outdoor wireless internet links anyway...

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I have got some news about LE3 which is shocking. Also check my graph for last night the jitter stayed high all night so 24/7 congestion.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

What's the news?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

So whats happened? I cant check my graph as I defaulted my router and forgot to re-enable wan pings!

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

it needs confirming before I post it here as it could well be wrong. But nevertherless my jitter is now high 24/7 there is no low congestion period for my connection now.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Looking at my graph for last night I would tend to agree.

Worrying to say the least......

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I have started a campaign, the leics mercury say if I can get 200 names from my local area they will interview me, so me and a few others will be knocking on some doors to get feedback on VM performance.

The last VM local tech I spoke to says my area 2 out of 3 doors is VM. so 66% VM takeup for area. His words were "tons of customers in your area, is jam packed".

What do I hope to achieve? dont know, maybe some satisfaction of reducing VM sales from bad press. To me a march 2011 fix date is not acceptable, they probably adding new customers quicker then extra capacity on that date will cater for.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Nice, If you want me to do something similar round here let me know.

I bet 90% of users are unaware of how bad things are. (compared to ADSL)

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

Where did you get the March 2011 information from?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

ceo office again, is new fix date.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)
 

I assume thats the upstream upgrades then.

At this rate they will be saturated before they are connected!
