No channels are being lost Chris, all 10k areas are going to 4 256QAM downstreams or better with all overlay upstreams at 6.4MHz 16QAM.

TiVo is getting no dedicated bandwidth so don't worry about losing out on capacity to it.

Of course whether this is enough we'll see, should improve things nonetheless.

Chrysalis · 17-12-2010, 22:36

This sounds suspiciously like my area a year or two ago...

Sharing.

ignition what happened to your little check into the area?

my modem is now rebooted with these stats, rebooted by itself.

Upstream Status
Operational

Channel ID 8

Upstream Frequency 47400000 Hz

Modulation 16QAM

Symbol Rate 384000 bits/sec

Power Level 44.0 dBmV

Ignitionnet · 18-12-2010, 18:28

You've a 384kbps upstream, interesting especially considering you're on 20Mbps as I remember rightly.

Reboot it again, see if it comes back on the proper tier.

spoke to my mate about the leicester area and he says there is heavy work going on to resegment all broadband tiers 10/20/50/100. It is being done as we speak but i was not able to get an estimated date as it seems LE3 area has one of the older networks so there seems to be a lot of work needing to be done. I know its probably not what you want to hear but there isn't much more info i can give at this moment

ignition it stayed on the same, watching football at the moment so will try it again after.

Hahaha.

A mistake or VM's latest approach to upstream congestion relief, downgrade people's upload speeds?

Chrysalis · 18-12-2010, 19:22

downstream is still set to 20480000

does seem effective for anti congestion, speeds way up now.
