Re: 50mbs being installed today

the bonding changed it completely. Even when I still had the very large jitter post 30mbit upgrade, I had stable download performance along with good generic performance, browsing, youtube etc. Then by coincidence not long after VM added a new upstream channel to my overlay port so now my overlay has 2 upstream channels, that made ssh way more useable. Load seemed to go up (a little, not much) on the upstream for a few days but now its lower again.

Downloaded service pack 1 of win7 earlier at solid 3.8meg/sec as well, felt very nice. No upstream slowdown either, although still jitter (probably will always be at least some there) its now not at a level where its a concern.

seems clear to me VM's problems have been stemming from a too small shared pipe problem since its early days (when was ntl etc.), I think upstream bonding cant come soon enough.
