Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)

Upstream upgrades should be in place within 5 months now. 100Mb within 6.

Mine was much better when I was on 50Mb, looks like its a different port, my IP didnt change though.

I can see these dates slipping.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)

when resetting the superhub to firmware defaults it wipes the modem config, this is a way to check docsis1. I did a check and docsis1 is still 5120kbit/sec, so at the moment that has not been bumped to qam16 dispite improvements allowing docsis2 on overlay. I will test again after we get moved to new upload speeds, I checked out of coriousity since it was mentioned the legacy would get an upgrade to qam16 due to work on the noise.

pingtest is now 5ms on a saturday evening.

docsis2 with old upload speeds.

I suspect if I had a vmng300 I would be down to 2ms or below.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)

Wigan area got the upgrade and not good news, friend of mine there had cable for years the 50mbit tier. His service was generally fine (has moderate jitter but otheriwse ok), then when they uplifted his speed suddenly his downstream speeds are low, upstream is about 70-80% of max, iplayer buffers, jitter shot up. We checked his upstream channel and it is docsis2 qam16 so didnt fall back to qpsk. Simply looks like a balls up with underestimating extra capacity needed. Doesnt bode well for my port which has a history of utilisation issues.

Whats the easest way to check (without a factory reset?)

SW is V5.5.2R20 I assume this is stock and not a new version?

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)

I suspected a firmware upgrade as the hub crashed completely (no connection possible), but no new firmware.

Re: Terrible performance Leicester (LE3)

ignition if you reading this I got an update on legacy.

I plugged in the vmng300 ready to activate and it connected to docsis1 as you know it will do when no config.

The upstream channel is still qpsk docsis1, even tho overlay has been updated to docsis2 qam16. So seems legacy here is still probably in a dire state.
