50MB - 10MB Upload ?

GazCBG · 25-07-2010, 10:14

Hi,

Just checked my config for the modem and the upload has updated

Primary Upstream Service Flow
SFID : 533
Max Traffic Rate : 10250000 bps
Max Traffic Burst : 16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate : 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst : 16320 bytes
Scheduling Type : Best Effort

Speedtest

Is this for good?

More likely a trial that they have not told you about, phone up and complain.

10 would be very nice indeed

I'd be happy with 5mbit upload rate. Wish they would officially release some information about the upload rate upgrades.

As soon as they release information people will complain, that they haven't got there's, best for VM to do the work needed and then release the information.

Hi, just as a note, that website can on occasion give incorrect results.
For instance, my T-Mobile 3G Mobile broadband account record 10Mb upload speeds on that speedtest too, which is obviously wrong.

Im not saying that speedtest you ran was wrong, just that i have experienced incorrect results with it before, the 3g test Iran gave me that result a few days on the trot too, so it wasnt just a small isolated thing.

try looking at http://192.168.100.1/CmOpConfig.asp to see what your modem is connected at

As I said in my first post the modem says:

Primary Upstream Service Flow
SFID : 533
Max Traffic Rate : 10250000 bps
Max Traffic Burst : 16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate : 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst : 16320 bytes
Scheduling Type : Best Effort

As for the website, I have never had any wrong reading so far.

ah, sorry, i must have started reading with my screen scrolled down a little bit with out me realizing.

i think virgin said Q3 for upload speed increases so they have just under 2 months to upgrade people. I presume it will be a phased upgrade again too

Its a shame they still haven't announced the speeds that we'll be getting. I wanna know what 10mb and 20mb users will get, i'm hoping for 2mb and 4mb respectively, unlikely though.

jb66 · 02-08-2010, 15:09

Im guessing it'll be 10%

broadbandking · 02-08-2010, 15:22

Hopefully as that's a nice 5Mb upload for me to play with.

As you say, its very unlikely. I would be amazed if you see 2mb and 4mb on the 10 and 20mb services. From what ive seen it will be a 10:1 ratio which makes sense since my 50mb connection is now at 5mb upload. I would guess they are using some 50mb users to trial the 10mb upload since we dont have a 100mb downstream service yet. Theres no way we'll see a 5:1 ratio and a 20mb upload on the 100mb service.

broadbandking · 02-08-2010, 18:53

I reckon 10:1 sounds right no need for any higher at the moment.

Personally il'd be happy with 3mb upload on my 50mb connection. As long as Virgin have the capacity to handle loads of customers.

Just concerning like, if they upgrade everyone to 10mb upload, without the initial planning there for future upgrades, meaning if they give say 40,000 people 10mb upload and can barely handle that for example, what happens in a few years time when say another 40,000 people join the tarriff and there's no like capacity there to handle?

Basically I'm worried about potential upstream problems if an area becomes congested.

|Kippa| · 03-08-2010, 05:02

Personally I can't see 10mbit upload rate on the soon up and comming 100mbit connection being free for all. I bet there are some restrictions on it if things go pear shaped.
