Upload speeds
 

Hi,
Could somebody advise me what speeds I am supposed to be getting for upload on my 50Mb broadband in the LE2 area. I never seem to get above 1.2Mbps but I thought it should be higher?

My download speeds seem to be fine, I'm quite happy with that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Upload speeds
 

You should be getting 5mbps upload in your area.

Are you using a Superhub?


If you click the "Connection" button in the toolbar at the top of any forum page, what is at the start of the Host?

As an example, mine is:

cpc1-chap8

The part in bold is the "Short Name for Location" in the following PDF.

This lists the areas that have been upgraded to the faster upload speeds. I'd guess yours will say "leic".

Mine says cpc3-nfds14 and yes the area is Leicester. The cable modem is a VNMG300v2, it does not have an integrated router so I'm guessing it's not a superhub?

Looking at that code why would I have nfds in the connection code?

PDF says Northfields and upgraded.

So check your config file in the modem stats - http://192.168.100.1 and then the Operation config link. Look at Upstream Max Traffic Rate - it's your upstream rate in bits.

If it says 5Mbps and not 1.75Mbps then the next suspect is your router - check to see if it has any QoS settings - if so turn QoS off and retest. I've seen a number of posts where upstream has been limited by old forgotten QoS settings.

Yes - just checked the QOS engine setting on the router and it was on. Disabling it produced these results - which is far better. Many thanks for your help!
