Funny that, your services say 30meg and your speedtest says 31 .....

:rolleyes:

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

VM give you around 33mbit i believe to allow for overheads.

Hop 8 should be Croydon, congestion between Croydon and Brentford - excellent.

clever boy.

but I am reffering to the upload which maxes out at around 3.1.

Whilst I pay for 3meg upload and not 3.1, I am not impressed there is congestion at that time of day.

Maybe you want to see a 7pm speedtest?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Mines pretty much spot on this morning (max up I've seen is 1.03)

I can only assume that the local torrent freak has temporarily stopped seeding or that everybody is bored with the current movie stash.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Thank you :D

No thanks, seen plenty of those and heard all about it already, just while i've been browsing the site.

If your service is that bad and you are that unhappy why don't you just look for another provider or better still moan to Virgin Media instead of on here, which is going to get you nowhere at all.

Do you work nights?

Just wondering as i find it a bit odd that if you worked during the day you'd be up at 7am running a speedtest on your broadband connection. I don't know about you, but the last thing on my mind at that time of day is running a speedtest or even for that matter turning my computer on! Getting ready for work is all i'm interested in at that time of the morning ;)

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

100Mb connection. My 50Mb graph stopped recording on 100Mb installation day.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

because the competition is even worse.

competition doesnt work too well when all options are of poor quality dont you think?

VM are the only cable provider in my area, adsl is aweful here.

I work from home whatever hours that may be varies. Just because you getting ready for work at that time does that mean service quality doesnt matter then?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Your IP would have changed an the TBB monitor has no mechanism to track that.

I have a machine that works 24/7 so a quick email check is easy during my ready-for-work ritual. Since my VM connection went to pot I also take a quick look at the TBB graph and run a speedcheck. I want to know if it would be worth moving back up from 10Mbps again. It isn't. Looks like the torrent freaks porn stash is being topped up again...

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2011/12/67.png

Is there any way to publish a current static TBB chart without copying it to webspace - I've noticed that the current snapshot is always live.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

kwikbreaks you can share a daily snapshot link which will be a midnight to midnight graph for that day.

or download the image to your pc and then upload it to the forum.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

The snapshots of the current day appear to be live graphs rather than a fixed snapshot. I noticed that when publishing one and mentioning some specific feature but when I saw the post a few days later it was a current snapsot again.

I didn't know it was possible to upload images to the forum - I've uploaded them to VM webspace and linked to there in the past but that's long winded. I'll checkout the forum option next time I want to publish one. Speedtests are currently showing downstream well within acceptable limits for 10Mbps but most of the time the upstream is falling short of what it can do when it isn't congested. The TBB monitor is looking worse and worse.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

That's right. The snapshot is for that day, so it will be live right up until midnight and then it becomes static.

If you use a live graph then it will always show the current state of play, no matter the day it was taken on.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

yep it will seem live at first but will stop at midnight, or if a previous day it wont be moving at all.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)
 

Here's an uploaded image then (I still don't see how to upload to the forum). My connection was virtually unused over this time period - according to the Tomato bandwidth stats < 100MB down and 150MB up.

Nothing remarkable other than this is less than a month after a supposed node split...

http://www.kwikbreaks.webspace.virgi...B_20111209.png

I do get pretty consistent download speeds on 10Mbps but upstream frequently doesn't hit maximum even at silly o'clock
