Not for someone's observation. I am going to do you a favour and ask Virgin what the average speed is for a user to have on an over subscribed UBR. could be interesting as to what the actual figure is.


If the average speed is 6.13Mbps, then I think me saying 5Mb is a bit optimistic for an overloaded UBR I think. but you have to think that some of the results obtained to come up with that figure of 6.15Mbps would have had to have been given from a percentage of users that were on an overloaded UBR.

if you think that to obtain a figure of 6Mb from the use of 10Mb and 20Mb. then what does that work out as an average?
