maybe VM have been given a truck load of money to help with the Olympics traffic??

[Risco]

Well that did not last long...

[babis3g]

Had a smile for 3 weeks about but did not last

i tried factory reset,reboot,reset,take power cord in out...nothing
And the Olympics is near
My jitter with modem mode gone up to 14ms
We all had jitter from 6-14 varying

That VM today....HURAYYYYYYY

[shenfrey]

I am in the Leicester area and have noticed a huge difference in speed and latency. Before I couldn't touch 10MBS, I would usually get around 7 or 8, now I can hit OVER 10MBS and hit 11-12 sometimes even 13 on Steam.

Noticed a difference in Ping as well.

[kwikbreaks]

You won't get over 10Mbps on a 10Mbps connection. You are either measuring it wrongly or you've been doubled and it can't deliver the 20Mbps.

[craigj2k12]

hes on 100mbps and talking about MBps

[qasdfdsaq]

It clearly says 100Mb under his services list.

[babis3g]

the speed testers for me quoting 100-106Mbps(Megabits) but when i actually download file it varies from 9-12something MBS(MegaBytes)
Can not wait for the upload...the new VM checker say my area is completed

Looks more like they made some substantial network downgrades around these parts, right abouts midnight last night:

I tried many attempts to change locked channel for finding less congested one(R35 was fine but R36 is not letting me),including reboot,factory reset, back of the SH resets more than 5 times,take power cord in/out,taking main coax cable in/out...nothing
My jitter with modem mode gone up to 14ms in some parts of the day

My monitor

Rang the support for an other issue and they reboot my modem
Don't know what they done but after call ended thinking they may done something, i thought to give one more reset
Now after the reset (just once) upstream channel changed even with r36 firmware
BINGO! take a note before 3pm how jitter changed
HAPPY
Hope will stay like this at peak evening hours even today i am using the internet little more
I think is not bad for a busy area here in London

[Risco]

Virgin Media are bunch of ****ing *****, sick of their lies. Clearly they have been ****ing with the network again.

[thenry]

upgrading ¿

[cnewton2k]
