WTF is going on?
It breaks my heart after everything VM have offered.

can anyone tell me if im a victim of traffic shapeing?

[bigdavep]

Dont think It's traffic shaping tbh. You shouldn't be shaped that low...

Have you checked your modem signal levles??

[ultimate]

For me, this pathetic speed comes on from 6pm to 11pm, and week ends, (I do not do any downloading), so there is nothing wrong with the equipment. Someone at VM flicks a switch to slow us all down for god knows what reason, and its been like that for the last 3 weeks and for a lot of people.

[Rone]

If all the heavy users are being shaped after 4pm, i would also like to know why its so crap between approx 5pm to about midnight for everyone else?
Checked with a few users i know around my area so i know its not just me.

what should the signal levels be?

---------- Post added at 20:36 ---------- Previous post was at 20:34 ----------

Downstream Lock : Locked
Downstream Channel Id : 1
Downstream Frequency : 402750000 Hz
Downstream Modulation : QAM256
Downstream Symbol Rate : 5360.537 Ksym/sec
Downstream Interleave Depth : taps32Increment4
Downstream Receive Power Level : -1.7 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 40.1 dB


of any value??????

[lsproc]

Upstream: Around 40, nothing higher than 48
Downstream: -15 to +15, but generally virgins limits are tighter

Your SNR should be higher than 30 too.

UPDATE:

Yours look OK so far, whats you upstream?

[novacrsh]

upstream :

Upstream Lock : Locked
Upstream Channel ID : 3
Upstream Frequency : 34000000 Hz
Upstream Modulation : QPSK
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream transmit Power Level : 41.0 dBmV
Upstream Mini-Slot Size : 2
