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?

You back on the Cognac BB?

No, I got Laphroaig Quarter Cask though I haven't had any. xocemp is still a turd though.

BB is a rim jaw and is a signed up member of http://wiki.answers.com/ the source of his knowledge

I just make everything up and couldn't tell you the difference between DHCP and DNS.

Did I mention BB also has a thing for small woodland creatures?

You have no proof that I have ever engaged in felching with beavers and squirrels, I destroyed all the film, and I may point out that due to your carelessness you were the one bearing scars from the experience. I did tell you to tranquilise them first but you knew best.

In other news ASM is not something I'm a huge fan of when used like this. Useful for when using ATDMA and dropping from 64QAM down to 16 or 32QAM with the default QPSK profile as a tertiary (available in 12.3(23)BC7 and later) but used this way it's a sticking plaster for a node that needs to be cleaned up as it has ingress problems.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, xocemp thinks QAM is a small island a little way off the coast of the Philippines

*Laughs at the notion of 64QAM for upstream on the VM network*

Can't see DOCSIS 2.0 being deployed though the cards are there MC28, the legacy network is in dire need of some downstream attention.

Broadbandings thinks a shonky DHCP server cause upstream loss.

**the stretch marks around your mouth is proof enough, that and the huge shares you have in bendy straws

Downstream, frownstream. It's the upstream paths that suck nearly as hard as you do anyways.

I don't think it causes upstream loss, I know it does. You just don't understand.

The stretch marks around my mouth are a scar from combat, and you're just jealous yours can't engulf as readily as mine. Once you've had the Joker operation you'll be fine.

I had sent an email to support on support@virgin.net, and received a reply from this address ibmrtn_gpbye@ntl.com

Why would that be ntl, I thought they had left that branding?

Ignitionnet · 12-12-2009, 10:56

Legacy email address that wasn't changed.

You sent an email to the old ADSL support address by the way. May explain the source being ntl.com.

They might yet have to go back to that branding!

Are you guys still having these issues in Edinburgh? Our issue in glasgow was reportedly fixed last night.

Maybe you guys may have the magic modem I have which has a clock in it and knows when its time to slow down.

Are you still experiencing the same problems?

What have I been saying to you VMboy? Its the NTL network and not the telewest network

Err Edinburgh is ex-Telewest and doesn't go through ex-ntl Glasgow, it joins the core network at Leeds and Manchester?

His issue is a very local one. Trust me you don't see a status change for an upstream channel on a cable modem in Edinburgh from a network issue in Glasgow. His issue was between his home and the ex-Telewest kit in South Gyle Crescent.

Broadbandings is a dill. However, is right.

Never been called a herb before!

In other news despite the chutney farmer's fairly pointless post above chances are that the ingress onto the network that was causing the Edinburgh issue has been dealt with or is a weekday only thing.
