I am keeping my reasons to myself thank you very much, as no matter what I say you will undoubtedly criticise me for it.

Depends what you say. If you are to be credible in the advice you're giving to others then you need to be able to follow through. If you're confusing people, then you'll get told.

This thread is more suitable for the problem.

Is it possible for me to have a decent download speed but a poor upload speed at this present moment in time?

Yes it is, but the poor upload conditions will adversely affect your ability to get anything downloaded (including screens). Download won't be great but you may well thin it's OK.

If you can't get your upstream slot (keeping it simple) then there's no ability for any response to occur. For TCP based downloads, you are guaranteed packet delivery and the re-request will get you your next packet.

Gaming send requests are UDP protocol and are discardable. If discarded you lose your place in the game (again keeping it simple).

IMO of course.

Sephiroth,

You're much to cleverer than me on this I can tell you.

Speeds seem to be back to normal just prior to 10PM

Now you know why.

Is that possible, lol, seriously though it's great having you folks around.

I see the upstream is locked, is this normal?

This QPSK is driving me mad, I am on half capacity upstream because of this.

Cable Modem Upstream
Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 1
Upstream Frequency : 18800000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 46.0 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2

Sephiroth · 11-12-2009, 16:44

You've not mentioned "Locked" before - it's always been there.

This seems to be a case of telling you too much anout the technology and then you getting straight back to us when one of the things we've explained to you happens.

Your network area seems to have problems and you should get onto VM about it if you haven't already done so.

Also partial stats don't provide us with a good picture. What is happening to your actual internet experience?

Is that a problem?

VM said to me there were no networks problems in my area.

Internet experience, well I find that the download speeds fluctuate all the time, and the upstream is giving me grief like it's never done before.

Btw, I will keep ALL my issues on this thread.

You've had all the explanations from the very best (xo & BB) plus the usual guff from me.

Your area has problems; you've got an engineer booked as you said earlier. Can we leave it at that for now?

Ignitionnet · 11-12-2009, 17:20

Think his point was are you actually seeing any issues with your service other than on speedtests?

Erk. xocemp is a steaming turd and I'm a professional Googler who only has 50M so I can Google the answers to questions quicker. We carry off the bovine excrement well though, don't we?
