We’ve recently been upgraded to the 120Mb service, slightly prior to this we were upgraded from 6 to 8 downstream and from 1 to 2 upstream channels. Immediately after the upgrade in channels, we saw our peak time latency steady out.

Since then we’ve had the odd evening where latency has increased by a small margin, other nights it doesn’t increase at all.

All of a sudden within the last week, I’ve noticed our peak time latency on our TBB graph has increased considerably… It isn’t like peak time latency we’ve experienced during previous episodes of congestion, take a look:

Speeds during this time are odd, some sites we only get 1-2Mb and others it’s the usual 120Mb (using speedtest.net and the TBB speed test)!

I live in Plymouth in the PL6 area code… Our train line has been washed away recently, one theory is that some of Virgin Media’s fibre has been washed away, reducing the available capacity???
