Speed fixed? 18 Meg DURING THE DAY wtf?

Toilet-Duck · 22-11-2007, 21:43

Ever since VM took over Ive been having terrible speeds, I usually get full speeds from 12am - 7am after that though I used to get terrible speeds as low as 1 Meg, could hardly use the Internet on Sundays.

This morning though my cable modem wasn't receiving an IP so I rebooted it and I saw that the firmware had been updated and my MAC address authorized..

Would this be anything to with the new firmware that had been updated on my modem? I find it hard to believe that I'm receiving full speed throughout today (For the first time ever!) just because of a firmware update?

This is the first chance i`ve had to check mine any earlier than about 3PM since our alleged "work" a couple of days ago but it`s not quite as high as the 16-18Mb it was then.
That was obviously before the rush hours of course

Even though our speed has seemingly improved overall though we`re still getting the typically bad speeds during the hours that really matter it seems.
Not STM...just bad speeds.

Same here, I also got a new firmware update last night and speeds seem better.

xiao · 23-11-2007, 13:26

how do u know if the firmware updated?

coz i just argued with VM to cancle my 12 month contract for free and they did it, it will happen in 30 days

they said they cant provide me waht they said they would, and are problem in the area wont be fixed in a long time

i am now getting these speeds how ever it is onl 1:30 so i will wait till 8 9 and 10 to test again

Just checked, also got a fireware upgrade

If you log into your cable modem status page, you will see from the log that activity during the early morning of 23rd Nov.

http://192.168.100.1/

should be root and user/pass

I've just realised you live in London

We (i think) are talking more locally to the NE37 NE38 postcodes. Or Wearside anyway.

Sometime the speedtest on this site is a little wavey. 80% its ok
I generally run three different ones
I always found this one to be pretty solid anytime of the day: http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/

Try that and post your result
