Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
 

All over the weekend and especially last night I've been getting slow web pages, slow ping times, packet loss, and loss of internet connection a couple of times.

In all cases (apart from loss of service obviously!) the problem lies on the hop immediately outside of the Virgin network on the telco side but, and here's the rub, only for certain websites. Last night ping times were 10-20 times slower to cableforum, my company's website (WebFusion), and bbmax speedtest than to the bbc or speedtest.net. Tested from multiple PCs having reset the SH back to factory, all on wired connections.

This morning all ping times have gone back to normal. Anyone else noticing problems with the Virgin network recently?

Yes.

Any idea what's going on? There's nothing on the status page I can find.

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
 

People on forums tend to answer your question with a YES.

At this time, VM are rolling out 100 meg (as you know). But this involves changes at the local hub, changes at the regional hub, street cabinet changes, cable works, resegmentation.

Service corwding is bound to occur in various places while they do all this work.

AFAIK, that is.

My excuse: I was barely awake and haven't quite figured out what the problem is myself. My best guess is Ignition's guess - bad/overloaded peering.

some websites have been extremely slow for me recently, but using a vpn proxy seems to fix all the issues; its probably VM messing up their peering again

Same here. Some sites are fine and others are rubbish. I've had to post this on my phone as I can't get CF to load on my computer.
