Re: Packet loss
"High Utilization" causing packet loss?

Err, thats a new one to me, and I honestly don't know if its a valid excuse. I will be interested to hear one of the more technically experienced members response to this.

On the Cisco uBR 10k especially certainly this happens. If the upstream is busy enough modems spend so long trying to send their data they give up, thus the packet is lost.

Upgrading you from 10meg to 20meg , that's just plain bonker's

They must be going for the mystical 100% utilisation

I'd be tempted to find out who it is in your street flogging dodgy Blu-rays and cut the cable to their house

Just kidding but I feel your frustration

Re: Packet loss
Well after an hour on the phone last night it seems virgin are unable or more to the point unwilling to solve my problem.High utilisation in the are does this mean over subscribed maybe.Service that im paying for which does not operate at the times i want to use it.They said there are no plans to upgrade the area.Time for ADSL any recommendations anyone for gaming.

Re: Packet loss
before you jump ship send an email to the CEO,

Code:
neil.berkett@virginmedia.co.uk
he wont deal with it but it'll be passed down to someone who'd be able to help. You'll end up getting a call so compose an email with your troubles, your details etc.
