Re: Is Virgin at it?

Well the past few days speedtest has been consistantly reporting the previous low connection speeds, just to make sure I checked the other test Virgin ask and began downloading 200Mb+ files from the gamefiles.virginmedia.com site.

When I checked this during the last bout with Virgin's support the first downloaded at a little over 1Mb/s, trying two other files at the same time brought the same download rate for all three; three downloading at just over 1Mb/s each.

Checking the past few days hasn't shown anything like this. Tonight the there downloads were: 158kb/s, 167kb/sec and 168kb/s.

The modem has the following downstream figures:

Downstream Lock : Locked
Downstream Channel Id : 6
Downstream Frequency : 331000000 Hz
Downstream Modulation : QAM256
Downstream Symbol Rate : 5360.537 Ksym/sec
Downstream Interleave Depth : taps32Increment4
Downstream Receive Power Level : 2.9 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 39.6 dB

Upstream hasn't been an issue, its always about the same, here are the figures anyway:

Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 1
Upstream Frequency : 18800000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 47.0 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2
