Hi,

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit

Modem been switched off all day and haven't downloaded anything just browsed the web and straight away was at 2.5meg from 10 Meg

Seems better today tho

consider upgrading to 30 mate. how much do you pay at the moment?

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

Upgrade because he's not getting what he's paying for ? Doesn't seem like a good strategy to me. You could end up paying more and getting the same rubbish speed if there's a problem somewhere.

Report it as a fault and get what you're paying for. They should at least be able to at tell you if you are being traffic managed.

upgrade because hes on the old network

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

what old network ?

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

the standard below docsis3 suck.

I get a rock solid 10MB, always have done. It's people on 30MB + with the 'superdud' that seem to have most of the problems.

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

Non-DOCSIS 3 network is fine for 10Mb.

DOCSIS was about for quite some time, offering speeds as high as 30Mbit/s retail, before DOCSIS 3 was released.

can't win then

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

It's their DOCSIS 2 upstreams that are the problem.

The standard that 'sucks', though it's fine as it's coupled to a DOCSIS 3 downstream.

Stopping talking unsubstantiated and ill informed nonsense about how anything bar DOCSIS 3 sucks, despite VM selling 20Mb on DOCSIS 1.1 and other operators on DOCSIS 2.0 going up to 30Mb down and 5Mb up, would be a good start towards winning.

It's more than adequate for 10Mb down and 1Mb up services so long as there aren't too many modems on each channel.

In fact as VM's network is built now 10Mb customers are far less problematic on the 'sucky' DOCSIS 1.1 network than 100Mb customers are on the presumably un-sucky DOCSIS 3 network.

i may of put 2&2 together and got 5. bad experiences have left me hating it. although hands up vm have stepped up their game

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

Still on Ambit 256 on 10Mb, nothing to complain about here.
9.8 down and 1up just enough for me.

Re: Traffic Managed but not hit limit
 

It's fine to be honest, there are more issues on the DOCSIS 3 where a single 100Mb customer can nosh 60% of an entire upstream port and nearly single-handedly (10% more utilisation or 1.8Mb required) make everyone else on the port jitter just by letting the torrents go.
