VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Just done a speed test and now getting 20 on a 200 connection

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Interesting, could you show us what config they have given you please?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Did you guys have to manually reboot and what firmware revision are you on?

According to the VM page it should be 20mbit!!!! They sure kept this quiet, not rebooted yet but i did a few days ago and it didn't change.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Thr net has been playing up and had to reboot yesterday evening and then this happened

---------- Post added at 10:33 ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 ----------

Yes I noticed this, this morning ?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Just rebooted, now have 20mbit upload! on 200mbit package.

---------- Post added at 10:59 ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 ----------

Could a Mod please edit the title to show there has officially been an increase according to VMs page?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Looks like they are starting to bring things in line

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

They kept this quiet, even the main news pages haven't caught up yet.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Has your internet been playing up the last couple of days?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Possibly as my download speed sometimes drops to 60mbit on a speed test, but i do have more devices and people in the house than normal so that maybe the reason, it hasn't gone off or anything though.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Very nice, i wonder if they'll bring the 100meg config in line as well with a 10meg upload

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I also wonder if they will drop the M50 package and have the minimum as M100 as 5 different packages is to many.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Still on 12Mbit here, even after a reboot.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

There are a few people on the VM forum that also say they haven't had the increase yet, i wonder if it is tied to upstream channel qam.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I'm on Super Fiber 50 . . . whatever that is, although I have a faint recollection they upped it to 100Mg?

I get around 87 down and 6.5 up anyway :shrug:

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Log in and check modem config to confirm your speeds.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

To be honest I'm ok with how it's working, fast enough for me and what I now use it for (too old to be competitive at online gaming lol), experimenting with various unix stuff on old laptops mainly :D

daughter complains wifi drops occasionally, think that's more router than virgin though ;)

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I dunno, I've got 4x64 QAM upstream channels:

https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2019/06/4.png

I'm guessing it's still being rolled out. My node didn't even get 350Mbit until a few months ago, so it seems like it's the bottom of the list for upgrades regardless.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

20mb upload here after a reboot. The top tier is looking increasingly pointless (for me anyway).

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Yes i am happy with the speed i pay for, i can't see the point of going higher, but any free upgrade i will take just like i have for several years now.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Same here but usually VMs 'free upgrades' are quickly followed by an inflation busting price rise !

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

And you fully know that prices go up each year regardless of any speed upgrades, this is the same for every provider.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

And you fully know that VMs increases have been way in excess of inflation, and sometimes more than one a year.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Just like any other provider like Sky, my point being the price would go up even if the speed didn't.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Try another reboot, some people are reporting that they couldn't get it on Saturday but rebooted again today and they now have it.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I rebooted the VM HUB 3 yesterday evening and upload is now 20Mb. Im in the NW9 area. My area hasn't been upgraded to 350Mb or 500Mb though. 200Mb is the max speed available. But i'm very happy the upload speed has been increased.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

It is expected over the next few months 50Mbps will be bumped to 5Mbps upload and 100Mbps to 10Mbps upload.

---------- Post added at 12:04 ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 ----------

And just to keep Mr K happy, VM have just announced their annual prices rises so he can blame the upload increase for the rise even though prices would still increase regardless of any boost. ;)

Price Hikes as Virgin Media Start Boosting Broadband Upload Speeds

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

They doing this as there is another Price Rise in September..

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Well there's s surprise !

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

My think broadband graph has gone funny since being upgraded to 20Mb upload.

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broad...03-07-2019.png

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Well i've never seen 1 like that before, have you tried turning everything off and on again?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

not yet, i'll do that when i get home this evening. But i'll definitely report back

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I've never seen such a thin yellow maximum latency before on a VM graph, are you on a regular VM cabled connection?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

To be fair i've never seen it that low before either. Yep i'm on a normal Home Broadband Connection

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Double check it is your graph and the IP hasn't changed.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

What was the outcome of your graph, i see it looks more normal on the pic although all red now?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Hi Snoopz, sorry for not getting back to you. The graph did go back to normal. The IP address was correct and still is.

For some reason the thinkbroadband monitor cant ping my connection now. I logged into the HUB3 to see if any of the settings had been changed but for the life of me couldn't find the option to respond to external pings. I'll have to have a look again this evening.

I have the white HUB3 that virgin were sending out as part of their trials program many years ago. I'm not sure if the device has started to develop issues.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

The only thing i have enabled in the Hub3 Firewall settings is Firewall protection if that helps.

I don't think there is an option for external pings on the Hub3 and i also have the white trials hub.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Same as mine, i only have firewall enabled and I've disabled the wireless radios in the HUB3 as i use the BT Whole Home Mesh Network for my Wi-Fi needs.

I haven't changed any settings on the HUB3 in 2 years so im confused as to why it would just stop working.

I'll reboot the hub3 tonight to see if makes a difference.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Looking at your graph in this thread it did work for 8hrs, my graph went all red for 24hrs the other week, so maybe just a glitch their end.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broad...05-07-2019.png


mine has been like this since since 10pm on the 3rd

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Looks like you had an IP change. Check your new IP and start a new graph.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Even if no ip change I would start a new graph, this may fix it.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

The IP address is the same. But I’ll start a new graph

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

If that doesn't work make sure you have your router firewall allows Response to ICMP (Ping)

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

The hub3 doesn't have that option.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I created a new thinkbroadband graph, but couldn't because the same IP address was already being monitored. So i deleted the old one and created a new one. It seemed to have worked for a while but upon checking now it seems to have stopped working around 01:30...this is very strange.

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broad...06-07-2019.png

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Very strange, i wonder if you have any other equipment on your network causing it, is there anything you can temporarily disconnect so just leaving the Hub3?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

The only thing i have connected to the Hub3 itself is a TP-Link 24 port unmanaged gigabit switch.

I only use the Hub3 as a router really. Wifi Radios, 2.4 and 5Ghz have been disable from the settings page.

The only thing i can put it down to is, under firewall settings on the Hub3 i've had ip flood detection enabled, which i enabled ages ago. But i'll switch it off to see if that makes a difference

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Think i have always had to disable IP flood protection but not 100% sure, also try disabling the Firewall for 5mins if that doesn't work.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

i've just come home and seems like my broadband monitor is working again...i havent touched a thing. This truly is weird.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

There was a bug that caused that to happen on the trial firmwares late last year I believe so I'm guessing the bug wasn't fixed when rolled out.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Looking at your graph in this thread it has stopped working again at 11pm.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Hmz..... This morning my graph is also currently all Red too and it went Red at exactly the same time as yours, it will fix itself so not going to do anything.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Sorry my mistake ip flood detection is off only firewall and port scan detection is on.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Well as my graph is also Red no point trying to fix it your end, it must be their problem.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Wonder if it's certain areas, mine's looking ok https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broad...4965e67b2307f6

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I think it maybe random and not sure whos issue it is, mines been all RED for 7hrs now but when crazyronnie was having issues mine was working fine but i think it went down at the same time his did this time.

Mine last went all RED from 21st-22nd of June at exactly the same time as this time give or take a few mins and for 12hrs, strangely.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broad...07-07-2019.png


Mine seems to have come back online just before 3pm today.

I started having this issue when i rebooted my HUB3 for the 20Mb uplift.

I have a broadband monitor setup on my internet connection at another property i have and that seems to be working perfectly fine.

https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broad...07-07-2019.png

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

My god Velocity is a nice graph.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I know, hehe ;)

They provide a true FTTP connection.

https://www.velocity1.co.uk/

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Mines now working again after 20hrs all Red, i didn't do anything to correct it.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Only thing that makes any sense if you didnt change anything your end is someone blocked ICMP at a router / switch serving certain areas for some reason

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Also it is possible the Hub3 is randomly deciding it needs to block the pings for some reason, maybe its something in the VM firmware, that is what i keep getting when i google this issue as others also see it from time to time.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

mines gone red again after 10am today

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

What about post number 54?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I never got it on the trial and just started getting it so maybe it is still present on .610?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

There were various different trials around the same period, so maybe you were on the trial that it didn't affect.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

As far as I know, you still have to disable the hub firewall, otherwise the TBB Quality Monitor shows random blocks of red. This issue has not been
resolved in the firmware I have.

Hope this helps.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I suspect it must be related to the .610 firmware as i have never had the issue before on other firmware, and i currently have only ever had 2 blocks of red in the last few months.

VM are so ridiculously slow fixing firmware issues they still haven't fixed the upstream decimal point being in the wrong place!

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

.610 here too, and it has always needed the firewall to be turned off for TBBQM, as did the previous firmware version.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I only have the top option enabled on the Firewall and it works.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

I had the same issue on my Hub3 until I one day happened across the non-VM branded GUI - Which sported a few more options...

I remember quite clearly that changing the previously hidden value fixed it (so that must be 'Port Detection')?

Can't check now, as I'm in modem mode...

Attachment 27966

>So yeah, another firmware inflicted oddity! :)

Tom

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Port Scan Detection is in the VM firmware, the IPv6 stuff isn't though.

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

AFAIK the IPv6 stuff is working in the Hub 3 in Ireland, so I guess the firmware code is shared over all Liberty Global Hubs to an extent ?

Re: 200mb upload speed
 

Looks like my upload has gone to 20Mbit as well, as of about Wednesday this week. Took long enough, but I'm glad of it.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Woohoo !

Just rebooted my modem, and Im now on 35 Mbps upload :D

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Any reason to keep Sky BB now as I see you pay for both?

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

redundancy

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Yes, I work from home a lot, so I need a backup.

I actually use Vodafone now, not Sky, I should update that.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

I think Nottingham is in the list (of 27 areas) for the next round of Gigafast rollouts, although no mention of timescales.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

£48 for 900mbits sounds flipping amazing

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

I see newcastle on that list, hopefully it reaches me :)

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Yeah, it probably wont reach me though, I'm about 10 miles from the city centre.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Do VM Plan to upgrade the 100mb upload still or is that going to just be left as it is?

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

I believe 50mb and 100mb will both get an upload boost at some point.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

They always do upload speed uplifts from fastest to slowest (Which is, conversely, least amount of users to most).

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

No 500 uplift then?

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

500Mb is a new tier so that in itself is the uplift for now.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

While that might be true, its unfair to have the same upload as a lower tier.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Some people are never happy always wanting more....

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

In the grand scheme of things it's not as much about wanting more but expecting more when you're on the top package. You don't expect to get the same upload as a lower tier and you would expect the same ratio of download to upload the lower tiers seem to be getting.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

M350 is the current top tier that's widely available.

M500 is really a bundle specific download increase for Ultimate Oomph at the moment.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Yeah i thought that was a bit strange as well. They make a good start realigning all the tiers to 10:1 and then release a new tier with old school ratios. I know there is only only going to be a fraction of customers on 500mbit but maybe they did some tests and determined 50mbits up isn't viable atm and they need to wait for docsis 3.1.

Incidentally, i have had a letter through saying my bill is going up by £5 so that has paid for my upstream upgrade.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Whether it's a bundle is irrelevant in my opinion. It's an internet speed that's available. If we're moving to a 10:1 ratio then it would be nice not to be left out.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Honestly, it's probably most likely a classic result of The left arm of Virgin not knowing what the right arm is doing. I expect it will get uplifted eventually.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Possible upload increase to 10mbit according to a post in the firmware thread.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases
 

Yep, my M100 is now showing as from this morning.
