Re: varing speeds on 20mg in dy 10 area

Isn't 2477 kB/s about right for a 20mb/s connection? Or am I getting my bs and Bs mixed up?

Yes you're right 2477 KB/s is about right for 20Meg XL connection. The point of this thread was varing speeds for the DY10 area. When it's 2500 KB/s first thing in the morning 9am by midday it's half of that, then come 6pm it's a quarter and sometimes lower.

Currently it's 960 KB/s

Re: varing speeds on 20mg in dy 10 area

I am finding mine still like that , support told me this morning that it should have been fixed by 26/03/08 but it is overruning could not tel me when the
ubr/tdx fault would be done, mention 19/4/08 they said that must of be for something else. and it is not worth sending out a tech , and the person
who told me it had been fixed on saturday told the some different.

Re: varing speeds on 20mg in dy 10 area

What I think is causing the confusion here is that there could be two problems with your UBR.

First off, you notice a dramatic speed drop and notify Tech Support who look into the connection and spot that the power levels from your particular UBR are abnormal and book a tech visit.
The tech arrives the next morning and adjusts, say, the output from the UBR back within limits and reports the problem fixed.
Later that afternoon, you experience the congestion of having too many people connected simultaneously to your UBR and let TS know that "the problem is back".
TS check the records and say the problem was fixed.

If I'm anywhere near correct, the only real solution is for a fairly massive expansion of UBR capacities. And, again as I understand it, that's what's anticipated from the DOCSIS 3 roll-out next year which can't be done until all the UBRs have been uprated, which is what is happening right now.


I'd appreciate it if any VM tech crew could correct any errors in my deliberately simplistic explanation!

Ii was told problem for the area that was fixed on staturday night not just mine , and they have never sent a tech out as they explaned it was on there side, and i think your are right about the Ubrs , just found out
something . but not puting on here in case the source views this forum
and they could not gave a diffenant date .
