50M Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS) - Page 75

Looking really good right now. There has been a significant improvement since my old monitor went all red. There has been a change locally, but I'm not sure what. I can't remember my old IP, but I guess that has changed.

This is my normal ping now. Before superhub I invariably got 0% jitter. Not complaining.

I'd be almost inclined to ask you if that was a VM graph... no doubt the best i've seen so far if it is... a bit mad how your latency humped up after 6PM, as even on my jittered to hell connection it has never done that, but still, i'd rather suffer that than 24 hrs of spikey heaven.

My graph has been pretty flat since December, last night it went a bit odd and did this (I was barely using the internet so I'm pretty sure it wasn't me). What would cause the minimum latency to step like that?

Definitely VM.

PCs were in constant use 4.30pm until 10pm. It doesn't quite match the bump.

Interesting bump at roughly the same time as mine. Could it just be because that the whole street were on line too, until bedtime?

adzzzbatch · 20-03-2012, 08:04

Mine doesn't look too bad.

qasdfdsaq · 20-03-2012, 09:40

Getting better... Most of the spikes are down to my own usage now.

Not too shabby qas

qasdfdsaq · 20-03-2012, 10:03

Yeah. I believe upstream capacity got quadrupled over the last month and we're now on the verge of the 10:1 upgrade, perhaps 3rd time lucky (after 3 delays and overruns)

Everything comes to those who wait

I just hope it isn't short lived, right now I suspect's its about as good as you can expect it to be.

Nice to see for a change

Only been a virgin customer since the start of the month but i've been unable to do anything in the evenings or weekends due to huge latency / jitter.

I've contacted virgin and we all know how well that goes......so i thought i'd post here to see if anyone knows why it's doing this? I have my ping monitor posted below (which clearly shows my line dying in the evening)

High traffic in my area a guess? :S

It stayed good for about 2-3 weeks now, but my service is getting disconnected in 11 days anyway. 15 months of waiting? Nah... They had their chance a long time ago

normally adsl congestion causes that kind of slope, whilst cable congestion instead usually just pushes up max and average latency.

however peering congestion can cause that as well.

Persoanlly I think it will be shortlived but at the same time it wont be as bad as it was pre uplift.

You have some congestion there in late afternoon evening time, so thats obviously going to increase when the speeds get put on 10:1. But with more overall capacity and a bigger shared pipe it wont be anywhere near as bad as before.

I think VM have abandoned congestion relief in my area as march fix date is delayed until end of may, end of may is conveniantly the time when the speed doubling work is been done so now VM seem to be treating that work as the congestion relief. Seems I didnt get the "extra US added" like some people get when they have US congestion. My area also still has downstream congestion and no upgrade there either. I just hope infinity isnt late to town.

It's something within VM's network. Not peering and not local. It's been showing up increasingly lately on a lot of VM edge nodes.

My extra US added was part of the upstream uplift works that most people had done a year ago.

Chrysalis · 20-03-2012, 15:54

I mean an extra US to take to 3 US's. Some people have 3 US's and others only have 2.

MaverickJesus · 20-03-2012, 20:42

Apparently I posted a live graph, so you can see it again today. Yesterday there was a little 3ms step around 3pm, now every night I get that big block of minimum latency increase. Could it be a reseg that caused that?
