Terrible performance Leicester (LE3) - Page 16

I am using VM tonight since I been seeing weird issues on my xilo, like lagging youtube and slow loading of random sites, trying to rule out my pc been the issue. VM seems improved for sure on browsing and down speeds despite the jitter and upload issues.

Umm wrong link?

browsing sluggish now so is still affected.

what will you do if this carries on? (or is that a daft question)

Chrysalis · 20-01-2011, 21:01

I dont know, I have been promised another fix now as an alternative to waiting 4 or so months as the upgrade is delayed. So will likely wait to see if that works.

philce · 20-01-2011, 22:35

Things here looking better?

(wife watching enders at 8pm!)

ok I have been moved since about 5am this morning.

no new graph data yet but here some test results.

there is congestion apparent on tracert however it seems at a much lower level, my guess is I am back on a legacy port and I also have very high downstream power level now. I will use this as prime connection on this machine today and see how it goes and report back on ping and speed tests later on.

browsing is still ok, ssh was ok at first but increasingly becoming laggy and hard to use. pingtest already declining. speedtest dropping fast. The speedtest doesnt even spike/burst high but rather flatlining at a lower speed. So my guess is downstream congestion slowing it down.

its horrific again, like last time was on legacy, will be asking to switch back tommorow and I expect to have to wait until next sunday for it to be actioned. Will be interesting if they refuse to move me back.

I am not using the connection now, it is completely unuseable back on legacy. I am just completely shocked that they are able to get away with this, many must be complaining.

Tests done on spare pc.

bear in mind speedtest.net is multithreaded so gets higher than real world performance.

Why did they put you back on legacy? Part of a re-seg?

Worries me that they might do the same thing here.

Chrysalis · 24-01-2011, 10:15

not a reseg.

I dont know the answer to your question, they would have been aware of the load and that it wouldnt improve things, but mislead me to think it would which has led me to think they are moving non 50mbit users of overlay again to get that back under control. With legacy been a lost cause as that is beyond simple congestion.

People are happy to talk about good speeds and how good their VM connection is but avoid threads like this as if they refuse to accept this kind of thing happens on VM. I have never witnessed another isp so congested as this. Not even close to it.

Maybe its LE3's way of preparing for higher speed tier's, dont upgrade but instead just shift people around.

Upgrade not planned till August, looks like its gonna be a fun 8 months!!

Chrysalis · 24-01-2011, 12:48

giving it till about 1-2pm then sending yet another email to Neil to bang some heads together.

Hi Guys thought I would post an update. After weeks of trying to get a good deal from VM the best I could get is 20mb with free new super hub and self-install/no activation for Â£28/a month also its a montly contract.

Rebooted ambit modem yesterday and its syched at 20mb, first speed test was 9mb...second was...10...third was 11...I'm guessing I've been moved off the overlaynetwork. I did these speedtests at 8pm. Pingtest is showing B grade,
The upload is around 300k.

Will post full details when I get back tonight, also should hopefully have new superhub today.
