50M : Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

[Sephiroth]

TBB responds to the router not the modem.

so the superhub? ah i see.

Mines still sat here turned off so I guess someone else has that IP address now. They won't be able to set up their own monitor I don't think whilst I do and I am keeping mine for research purposes.

Is this good or bad ? VM SH

[Sephiroth]

Fairly normal for a circuit that doesn't yet have two upstream channels at the Superhub.

Does that fit your situation? And what's wrong anyway?

Yes they will

[pcoventry]

Fair enough. It's never let me when I have tried on another machine on the same IP address.

It's not affecting them if I keep it going then

Thanks Sephiroth for your reply

Just wanted your expert opinion as to whether everything was looking ok.
Not really had a problem other that terrible buffering on TV Anwhrere (watching live channels) VM are fixing this over utilisation problem after I reported it Back in January (although they could,t explain why every other on demand player was working perfectly I.E Skygo, BBC iplayer etc)

[Sephiroth]

Ah - TV Anywhere .... that depends on how you're watching it. For example iPAD (or laptop) over Wi-Fi; wireless is a Devil's science; and whether you are in rouer mode or modem mode.

I tried always.
Wired, wirelsess, all in router mode. Different times of day. Different channels.
All on my Macbook. Still the same result.

This was your graph. The bit that matters is the blue - the average latency. By comparison with some/many of the horrors we see on the forums, this is a reasonable graph. Is it still like that?

Have you tried working in modem mode? If it's not external (congestion) then it could be the SH router tying itself in knots as has been reported (with more radical symptoms) in THenry's Crawley thread and in Ravenstar's thread in the VM forums.

[jamonymo]

yes you are right too many vm custemers on even shitter lines , just like i was last year my blue average was very high the graph was full of color

the jitters are bad also 3 moths ago it was perfect and only just been fixed for H.U, i can see its slowly going back to crap,

also max latency does matter its not as important
2 upstream channels will properly be the only thing to ever fix it

this is today i am getting random packet loss

But rhe packet loss would be a worry. It is often due to upstream noise, which isn't reported in the SH. Is there anything in your stats (like varying upstream power levels) that might indicate something out of whack?

VM have had to remove traffic from some more Peering links because they were not working correctly for Sony provided content from multi different CDNs.
So will this increase ping times on other links during heavy traffic hours...

Not sure where that info came from but its not like virgin media to have peering or CDN problems.....ohh... wait a minute...!
