Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster


With my amateur eye, I can't see anything misconfigured by VM - as compared with my stats.

My DS3.1 channel runs at QAM2048 whereas yours runs at QAM256; that would indicate downstream noise in your circuit. With crap power levels like you've got, and only 1 upstream channel, noise is usually unavoidable but for what my opinion is worth, the noise isn't on the coax portion of your circuit, but rather the Hub 4 itself. This opinion is assisted by the HUB 3's nominal performance.

The tech you've booked will surely swap the Hub 4. You'll have an interesting Monday. Do keep us posted, mon General.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster

I have got sick and tired of the random reboots so i have rebooked it for tomorrow and left notes with all the info. I was hoping he would swap the shub over as the first and easiest thing to do.

Good. The reboots aren't random - some of the levels are outside the range at which it'll work. Particularly when the upstream on 1 channel hits 55dBmv, it can't talk to the CMTS and it must reset.

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster

My SH4 does weird stuff sometimes and becomes unresponsive to pings etc. Nowhere near as bad as yours, I don't have your post RS errors etc, and my D3.1 channel is at 4096QAM, so I've not bothered trying to explain/complain to VM's call centre staff. I'm in modem mode so internet still works, the periods of time it has issues correspond with an increase in pre-RS errors, but nothing else seems impacted.

The loss is only from my server to the SH, it can still get out to the wider internet.

I wonder if it's just a prioritisation of other traffic types. Do you have a BQM of WAN traffic to compare?

This shows the pings to all the WAN targets I monitor during the 8 hours of SH4 weirdness.

Final graph is the Superhub, all the loss I see is to the SH, no other targets experience loss.

As you can see from the pings to other places, the connection isn't particularly loaded at this time - hell, I don't know what I could download to load a gig1 connection solidly for 8 hours

"Tomorrow" was today, mon General.

What happened with the VM tech?

Re: 1gig Rollout getting faster

I could swear i posted an update earlier. I'll keep this short and sweet because i am on my phone. I was absolutely fuming earlier and could have killed someone. I left very clear and concise notes explaining what the problem was and the retard came round, said he didnt have any replacement shubs in his van and did a factory reset on the shub and left me a note saying everything was okay and what the parameters are for the power levels.

My connection is completely unusable now. Downstream power is -15 with 1 million post rs errors on each channel and upstream power is 59.5. The hub is stuck in a cycle of constantly rebooting. It does it so many times, switches to a red light for a few mins and then starts all over again.

I rang VM, moaned my ass off and spoke to somebody in 2nd line support and they are sending me a new hub 4 but i wont get it till Monday.

Presumably the Hub 3 will work OK in the meantime.

no, once a new shub is registered on the network the old one gets removed. I tried reconnecting it on Tuesday night after the hub 4 was activated and it wouldn't come online.

My whining paid off. Another tech turned up out of the blue this afternoon, checked all the connections and replaced the shub and everything is perfect atm so it must have been a shub fault as I suspeced.

Fine when you're in a Hyperoptic area.
