50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
Using http://www.speedtest.net post your 50mb broadband actual download and upload speeds and vote.
Remember if your not getting excepted results try rebooting your modem and re-run the speedtest. If all else fails call 151 from VM line or 0845 454 1111. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/09/88.png |

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
I get some silly results from the speedtest site, despite clearing my cache and rerunning it several times.
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/10/87.png But the old image in my signature is accurate, I get full speed when downloading from local sources and newsgroups. |

Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
I used to get the full 50mb, but for the past two months, this has been more typical of the type of max speeds im getting :/

Upload speeds have been a little strange recently, sometimes only reaching 0.70Mb/s. I did turn the QoS off in the router settings and tried again, i got over 1.0Mb/s after that, not sure if that was a coincidence or not. |

Bit of a pointless thread lol. None of us get 50mb 24 hours a day. The speed will vary all the time between 20-50mbps and because we dont do a speedtest every second of the day its impossible to say we get 50mbps 24/7 Take for example 'Thyroid Help' His speedtest showed he was 20mbps+ off, Cant really say he is not getting 50mb's download because 1) 'Up to 50Mb Speeds' 2) If he retook it later on the chances are it would have shown 48-50mbps. You could do one test and get 51.07mbps and do a second 3 minutes later and get 28mbps... Nevertheless we are on 50mb and unless there is an issue we get the speed advertised. |

Yes there are some customers that have problems but which ISP can state they don't have any? Don't forget forums like this are mainly for people with problems seeking help which is a drop in the ocean compared to the ISP's customer base which equates to a) The majority of the vast amount of customers are happy b) The minority who have encountered problems are more vocal. c) a+b=clueless customers. Read it as you will, I will discount c) immediately although admitting there are a lot of customers who are clueless and just use their connection for browsing and emails.(who needs more than 10Mb?) There are also (a rising tide) of gamers, webmasters etc who know what the connection should be like and even there the majority are happy. All ISP's will have problems, some sort them out quicker and easier than others. IMO VM lets itself down with their CS services offshore. If you are lucky enough to get through to UK based CS problems seem to be sorted out quicker. In general VM provide a very good service compared to other ISP's. No doubt there will be others who disagree. |
Re: 50mb Broadband - Post Your Speed & Vote
And the people that disagree tend to be the same people that do not recieve 50mb because they have an issue that they wont ring up or try to resolve, they come to a forum like this and moan on and try to ruin the reputation of quite frankly an excellent product.

That is more like it. If you get those high pings again try a tracert to see where the high ping is being accumulated? If it is the first step (possibly 192.168.1.1) then the problem is at your end. I would be surprised it it is across the whole network. |

I disagree. I have never had a result above 34Mb on TBB either with my 50Mb or trial 200Mb connection. Usually it is far less. (Don't ask for more details, 'cos I ain't telling. We all know the trials exists don't we.) ;) TBB acknowledge that there are issues with the VM network and their test servers. eg http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/fib...eed-tests.html http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/tbb...the-creek.html Here is a TBB test result done just now on my 200Mb connection. It is way, way, way below what I get on the reliable trial test server. (Can't show you that either.) The up speed result is also inaccurate. [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] |

Also the guy on the Post Office service's issue with the tester was transient - TBB did nothing and it fixed itself. Probably a problem on the BT Wholesale network. If you're on the 20 or 50Mbit variations of the 200M trial I can also easily believe that there are inaccuracies upstream - to get an accurate upstream speed requires a reasonably functional downstream path. |

Mr Telford was blaming the TBB tester for his poor speedtest which isn't the case. Incidentally not having a test server sitting at your headend doesn't inevitably cause access issues to one degree or another. While you guys on trials get a speed tester stuck into your headend everyone else whose performance is measured goes onto the Samknows testing which is off network. Your speedtest is purely devoted to measuring your access network performance for feedback to the trials team, it is pointless for anything else as the Internet doesn't live at Coventry headend :) |

I merely pointed the OP to the London server as it gives the most consistant results of those available on that particular site. 350miles is not a long way in terms of BB just look at the difference in the ping in both his posts. I will advise him however to open his own thread and post his modem stats and log files so we can have a look. BTW XP and Win7 are about equal in the use of rescources, Win7 is basically a vista GUI with an XP engine under the hood. |
