Improved service

Have just Rx'd this by SMS.

"Hi, it's Virgin Media. Good news! We're enhancing the network in your area on Tue 07 Jan which should mean you get the absolute best out of our services. Unfortunately it may interrupt your services on that day, but we should be all done by 6pm.

Re: Improved service

Hub 3 cut out x 3 this am according to ping monitor.
Connection speed, no change.
Downstream power levels increased, but still well within tolerance.
Huge amount of Pre. & Post R.S. errors showing.
Upstream levels slightly reduced.

Re: Improved service

Possibly a node split, and you're still on the original A-end? I've had a few of these over the years and roughly a 50/50 split of my IP changing.

Re: Improved service

The V.M.Tech. said that a lot of equipment has been replaced in the Virgin "Exchange" also in the main cabinet, approx. 1 Km. away.

Re: Improved service

Then”main cabinet” will be the optical node where they would have added fibres to allow for the 1gig service and associated upstream upgrade. They would also have replaced the old lasers that had been there for up to 20 years.
