Hello.
Wondering if anyone on here has any good/positive experiences with new build project lightning expansions using the FTTP/RfOG technology they're using for many of them?
I'm in a rural Village (RG23 7 Oakley Hampshire - area 31) that went live a couple of weeks back and have never got the 300mbits I'm now paying for.
Thing is though the system didn't let me order 300. Averaging at about 50 (normally a solid 20 up though). It didn't even have vivid 200 gamer.
I didn't realise normal vivid 200 didn't have 20 up so once it went live I phoned retentions to cancel or see if I could have gamer or vivid 300 and he said the system didn't show it as explicitly allowed but the computer didn't refuse when he put it on.
For the 2 hours I was on 200 I was getting around 180 which was great. Since going to 300 I don't think I've seen more than 150 once.
I've been doing some more intimate diagnostics and tests over the last 72 hours (speedtest.net and fast.com tests every 15 minutes via a script) and have not hit more than 50 in these 72 hours (average is around 30/35) but upload has been solid. This has pretty much ruled out contention for me (can't imagine contention is too bad at 3/5am on a Sunday morning?) and also given I'm one of such a small number of people with VM installed at the moment.
So I'm wondering if anyone smarter than I here knows of any limitations with the new project lightning installs that use the FTTP/RfOG technology?
As this is all relatively new to me and I've never had RfOG before I don't really know where to begin.
I've made a much more detailed post over at
http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/.../false#M169291 including my line stats and ping monitor.
If anyone could shed some light or suggestions for me to try It'd be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Rob
