What... the hell is going on with mine today, I have no idea.

EDIT: Someone was uploading an exceptionally large file, crisis averted.

God only knows what's going on with mine lately... This 100meg upgrade has played havoc with my graphs :D

And then you get the occasional day when all is pretty spiffing in the world of Cable...

Very interesting from mine. 12am onwards and there's quite a rise in latency. I guess protocol shaping is helping reduce the impact of torrenters in my area? (I'm probably wrong.) The rise at 8am is another file upload, YouTube failed three times in uploading a file... *facepalm*

Looks like there was a nationwide reset or dropout? Mine and a friends also shows that spike at 11:30 this morning.

No it's a problem with the TBB monitor. Nothing to do with this nation, it affected every monitor in every country.

Didn't affect mine apart from the short minimum latency blip, Qasi. My 80 meg is schmitt, btw. 30 meg if I'm lucky - less than I had on 40.

The same packet loss spike pattern is clearly showing on your graph so I'm not sure why you're saying it didn't affect yours...

As for the speed, what are you testing it with? Is it consistently poor or only so at certain times of day? I'm quite surprised it'd be worse than 40, as the only difference is increasing your speed cap. There's no change of technology, channel, frequency, etc. and I'm not seeing congestion on your graph either. P.S. Try the following speedtest: http://mcslhr.visualware.com/myspeed..._capspeed.html

A lot are like that, some worse than others. They're just not programmed to respond to pings very fast on particular interfaces. It's a pattern common on particular Cisco kit.

Hi Qasi,

Putting aside the TB glitch (which had diffferent effects in different places, it seems) I test with BBMAX or BT. It's 30/9.5 plus/minus all the time - less in peak hours. I suppose I should put the opened firmware on the HG12. Can you manipulate the SNR margin with that?

Thanks for the link. Using that, I got this report first attempt:

In your opinion, is there anything I should be doing with TCP Optimizer (Vista)? I hope not becasue I switch at will between VM & Infinity and in any case I'll be load balancing in the not too distant future.

Not much to change I'd say, Vista's networking stack is already quite well optimized for fast broadband out of the box, Windows 7 even more so. Nowhere near as limited as it used to be with XP.

The consistency of your results suggests either your line sync rate or IP profile are stuck low (or both). You can see your IP profile on speedtester.bt.com but your line sync rate you'll need to unlock your modem to see. Unlocking the modem won't let you change SNR margin though, only to see it and see where problems lie (if any).

This is the new channel (4.58) so I presume its putting 100mb users on there as a preference hence why its looking like that, I think the packet loss is a separate issue though
