So is 50mb now traffic managed ?

pazor · 22-10-2009, 20:05

Hi all.

Started last night speed went from 5836kbps for about 1gb then down to 486kbps.
Same tonight and this morning. Have been onto my newsdemon who i use and they looked at my account did some tests and say there is nothing wrong here it must be your ISP.

Can anyone confirm ?

Its a bit strange how my speed always drops to 486kbps

There is no traffic management currently in place on the 50Mbps service.

Well maybe someone in VM control centre just change there minds because everything points the finger at them

There website is all over the place - if there is no traffic management, they should update their site.

you have misunderstood that advert
it is a advert for broadband in general not specifically for 50mb
there is no traffic management on 50mb

50mb is in no way managed.

Try reading this and look at the 50Mb line which shows no Traffic Management http://www.virginmedia.com/help/traffic-management.php

Where were you downloading from? Maybe the other end has a cap in place. Try downloading from http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com instead and see what happens after 1GB.

Can people please stay on topic..i.e.. 50Mb and traffic management

Have you even tried to get it fixed? There is always a reason for problems, and most of the time it's a bad signal level. Post your signal levels here and we can tell you if they are the problem or not. If you won't help yourself, nobody can help you.

If we shared tracert information to the same web site from the Manchester environs, maybe we can find the bottlenceck. i.e. Is Ashton now suffering the Manchester student issue?

Pazor could start by posting a tracert to BBC.CO.UK/News (which won't be a cached page).

Do others agree or is it a dead end? I'm trying to see where nodes converge.

download 3 files at once from http://ftp.ticklers.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/i386/iso-dvd and then add up the total speed.

You can't tracert to a folder, it has to be the domain only, so you can't do /news. Caching shouldn't matter anyway.

Sephiroth · 22-10-2009, 22:09

So the suggestion (minus /news) is sound?
