Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
All over the weekend and especially last night I've been getting slow web pages, slow ping times, packet loss, and loss of internet connection a couple of times.
In all cases (apart from loss of service obviously!) the problem lies on the hop immediately outside of the Virgin network on the telco side but, and here's the rub, only for certain websites. Last night ping times were 10-20 times slower to cableforum, my company's website (WebFusion), and bbmax speedtest than to the bbc or speedtest.net. Tested from multiple PCs having reset the SH back to factory, all on wired connections.
This morning all ping times have gone back to normal. Anyone else noticing problems with the Virgin network recently?

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
People on forums tend to answer your question with a YES.
At this time, VM are rolling out 100 meg (as you know). But this involves changes at the local hub, changes at the regional hub, street cabinet changes, cable works, resegmentation.
Service corwding is bound to occur in various places while they do all this work.
AFAIK, that is.

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
I've been getting random drop-outs where the net is inaccessable yet the local link is still up. Also my modem seems to keep getting a remote reset: Suddenly all the FP lights go on, then the modem starts a reset sequence before reconnecting. Once connected the speed seems OK. Well as OK as it's ever been.
I would suspect it's part of the speed doubling process in that the traffic on the nodes is being re-balanced to give the doubling the best chance of showing results.

My excuse: I was barely awake and haven't quite figured out what the problem is myself. My best guess is Ignition's guess - bad/overloaded peering.

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
some websites have been extremely slow for me recently, but using a vpn proxy seems to fix all the issues; its probably VM messing up their peering again

Re: Anyone else experiencing slow internet?
Same here. Some sites are fine and others are rubbish. I've had to post this on my phone as I can't get CF to load on my computer.
