Terrible performance Leicester (LE3) - Page 3

Ignitionnet · 01-11-2010, 16:22

Resegmentation was done recently in Leicester and should have mitigated the capacity issues, hence why there's no further capacity upgrades planned at this time.

If there are still issues sounds like it wasn't successful.

Then it can be safely said Leicester will not have the upload upgrade any time soon.

That would go for the majority of the network though so nothing personal.

What I told was different, this you speak off happened at every UBR in leics?

No, resegmenting all of them at once would be an incredible task. I'm discussing LE3 specifically.

so all of LE3 is under one ubr only? is quite a big area with high takeup and has 2 uni's.

I guess the improvement I had in sept may have been this resegment? but even right after the work was under heavier load than many other area.

I have no idea how much covers LE3, just what I was told.

Studentland perhaps?

I go through Cardiff hub with no problems so it may be better to open your own thread to explore further.

I can't really see me having been upgraded without you but it is always possible.

Somebody mentioned about management but it was not that as parents are very light web users and only have 50mb really for the higher upload as have Vonage phone and Vodafone sure signal connected which suffered on 20mb service with not enough upload speed.

It seems then as per other posters that as first thought it is the Virgin network this isnt even a student area and is a large village and that nothing will be done soon so I think call to CS will be happening to raise a complaint

Chrysalis · 02-11-2010, 02:06

(more?) upgrade work is been scheduled but it will be months away and no date set yet. I hope this helps for anyone living near me with same issues.

having to use my adsl as default again as youtube and iplayer both dont work without buffering, as well as missing images on websites.

yep its not limited to student areas, my sister in Leics is not even LE3 and is not in a student area yet also has poor performance.

people can still see my live ping graph here.

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/35094657-post9.html
first graph

speed is higher than previous nights around 16mbit but jitter is very high, not something I expected with the new traffic shaping?

working day jitter is low until 4pm now.

malfunctioning shaping causing issue 4pm onwards?

I decided to test before and after midnight on speedtest.net

before I was getting 13-16meg/sec
after it dropped to 1.2meg/sec
right now its about 6.5meg/sec

the shaping I guess is helping LE3, but the scale of the congestion looks very severe judging by the speeds right after midnight and that latency is still high right now and during shaping.

I saw some Virgin bods pulling fibre near Meridian business park yesterday.

Perhaps something to do with the upgrades? Probably just a business connection though.

I also notice that Hinckley has had the upstream upgrades done, so they get FTTC and now Vm upgrades! What a joke!
