If it's clearly not a problem with anything at your end then the best thing that you can do is call VM.

If you're sure there's nothing wrong with your modem, and nothing wrong with your computer, then there's little that anybody here can do to help and little further advice that they can give you.

Re: Definitely something going on here.

Just saying 3 tests solid 2.4 mb connection and i know speedtest sites aren't all that reliable but i'm just gonna wait it out if it doesn't go back normal later on i will ring them up.

bit dodgy though don't u think.

btw my modem levels are out i think but it gives me a solid 10mb connection so whats not broken don't fix it.

So yeah it sucks lol

Just wanted to see if anyone knew about an early morning STM or anything like that.

from the screenshots above thats clearly not oversubscription in my eyes anyway

more tests.

Been downloading solid since 6.30 this morning. Just stopped the download to do a speed test, This is what i get. Now if that's a shaped connection then i have no complaints.

Test 1: 1024K took 458 ms = 2235.8 KB/sec, approx 18423 Kbps, 17.99 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 436 ms = 2348.6 KB/sec, approx 19352 Kbps, 18.9 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 435 ms = 2354 KB/sec, approx 19397 Kbps, 18.94 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 937 ms = 2185.7 KB/sec, approx 18010 Kbps, 17.59 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 18796 Kbps, 18.36 Mbps


To repeat this test from the source server click here.


So far as i am concerned there has been no change to the stm in the northwest

Re: Definitely something going on here.

Modem levels are out on downstream but that you are pegged at bang on STM'd level for upstream and it's so consistent suggests pretty strongly that you're STM'd.

Find out from TS if you are being traffic managed as seems likely. Considering the reports of people finding themselves not managed when they expect to be it's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that VM are having a play with the traffic management or even that there's bugs in the code which have recently come to light.

Re: Definitely something going on here.

It's 75% throttled which equates to 128k, 20Mb STM'd upload equated to 180-190Kb

Re: Definitely something going on here.

They are throttling out of hours.

Hi Jillian,

It would appear you have been STM'd outside of the monitoring period, I have raised this up to be investigated for you and requested that you be moved back to the correct service as soon as possible. The reference for this issue is F000808194.


this is happening all too often now and shouldn't be going on. the times of STM are set and shouldn't be activated before the start time.
you wouldn't get off peak and peak times going wrong on your phone calls, so why is STM any different. is it because it's not activated by a person downloading over their limit, but activated randomly when it's needed on an overloaded UBR?
yes.

The strange thing about this is that support are saying that they can remove the STM from the persons connection. where before they said that if you are STMd they have no way of removing it!
so looks like if you are STMd incorrectly they are able to remove it when you phone them up. and I bet they say they have no way of doing it.
