Config Update
 
I saw that the higher tiers went up slightly and it seems 100 has gone up too, I went from 104 to 110 after my modem seized up for about 15 minuets earlier.

My modem went offline tonight for about 30 minutes.

Now its back, my upstream & downstrem limits are set to 0 ....

Presumably this means I'm limited [only] by the total speed of the upstream & downstrem channels I have ?

Probably just needs a reboot.

No changes here but my levels for the 150 tier got increased 6 months ago.

Looks like mine changed last night too. Max rate: 115100000.

mine has gone from 220mbits up to 230 now. Can't say it has made that much difference though

Its going to be waiting a long time then.

Aside from power failures, its never rebooted (by me anyway).

Rigged up my New Shrub 3 today on Vivid 200mb Gamer.
All working ok at moment, but not yet put in any Ports. Going to see if I can load up my D-Link from outside my home later without the ports in. The port is in my D-Link.

Anyone know the proper name of this shrub (black one) is it linkseys or something..?

other than the colour, is there is a difference between the black and white superhub 3's? virgin sent me a new black one for some reason and I wonder if it's better in some way

Re: Config Update
 
No difference.

Found its same as white one for some reason.
ARRIS TG2492 LG-85

With my Tp-LinkTL-WPA-4220 down stairs, I get the same Download Upload speed on Wired and Wi-Fi on my Laptop. Phone is slower now than before, & I got problems connecting with my Samsung Tab 2 10.1 2.4GHz. No connection on the 5GHZ but I did when I the old Shrub1.
I can connect to my D-Link NAS on Mobile phone from outside in someone elses house etc, but not on my Tab2 10.1. Not put any Ports into this Router. But have done in my D-Link. All Stealthed except the PING

Been like that for a while, my non gamer config has been at 230 for a few weeks now.

Still hoping for an upstream bump :)

Re: Config Update
 
I'm on the Gamer 200 and surprised I still have only 8 downstream channels and 3 upstream, although guessing I might be on an older Cisco CMTS as the Homeworks 300 is not available around here. I believe the older kit does not support higher numbers of downstream channels, although happy to be proven wrong.

Having said the above, when bandwidth contention is not playing a role in the evening, the connection is not too bad. Tends to be around 190-220Mbps during the day and 15-50Mbps in the evenings (averaging around 25) which is enough for watching a Netflix HD stream.

I've not yet bought into the whole UHD side yet as I think we have another year of waiting for a few things to settle down around standards and technologies, not to mention prices to lower for same technologies and more importantly for content to arrive.

Re: Config Update
 
ah is it a function of being on an older Cisco CMTS that limits top speed to 200 Mb/s? I have 12 downstreams and 2 up, on a Cisco CMTS and 200 Mb/s is the max available.

How would you know what you are on? I'm on 24 down and 2 up but 300Mb isn't available.

Re: Config Update
 
I was on 12 and 2 and I had 300 since the start.

It's going to be a combination of factors though. Bandwidth coming in, segmentation of that traffic as well as the capabilities provided by the CMTS, added to a bunch of external factors.

The capabilities of the CTMS is to be able to provide 24/2 it states so ergo it can and has been updated. The delay is obviously being able to provide sufficient bandwidth ATM.

I'd like to hear about the external factors though.

General environmental as well as physical network quality factors.

Like folk are saying many things could be affecting what VM can offer you in your area. One thing that doesn't seem to be critical is the number of channels you have.

I have 16 down and 2 up, with a 300Mb connection.

Re: Config Update
 
How do you find how many channels you got then ??

JordanTheToaster 08-03-2017 04:05

Re: Config Update
 
In the SH page on 192.168.0.1

The number of channels you are using is reflected in the number of populated columns. Everyone should be on 8 now minimum and if you have got a shub3 which you will probably be on 12+.
