Been a while since i had such bad service my download is 1/5 of what it usually is (i got 10mbit) and i got quite a bit of packetloss to everywhere. Anyone else around experiencing the same this is some tests. Oh didnt mention i am also using the ntl home: 200 modem! Cheers

really cronic from 8pm last night could not even access many web pages like marinersworld and wondering is this down to the throttling or we got some errors in our region.

Tonight its a little slow but at the moment 50 times better than last night for pages to come up. Although some are even needing refreshing as page error comes up intermitent. Could it be down to DNS issues or loss packages when your broadband sends requests.

Ive had problems since dinner time so Ive rang CS and there is no documented problem with our service so Virgin say.They are sending an engineer to me tomorrow morning(saturday) to check my modem and cable,they tried to fob me off by blaming p2p software i admitted in using but the CS advisor shuddenly changed his tune when I said"You cant solely blame that to the loss i'm getting"
So everyone with a problem ring VIRGIN up and then they might dig deeper into this problem as we are all in this together¬!!!

Well that tech will have a easy job .It looks like a core network problem.There somthing like this in Scunthorpe some years ago anyone from Scunthorpe having the same problem? As some of the traffic is shared with scun .There is going to be lots of fault calls for speed issues :disturbd:Someone in Licoln having a problem as well

Looks like there is a routing problem somewhere. There's a few sites I still can't get to but ADSL gets there fine, seems to break down just after nott-t3. Last night most sites were unreachable, at least browsing is possible tonight although very slow.

I'm in Lincoln LN4, 10 meg downloading at 1.5meg max (usenet test) - maybe the VM Techs on here can report to base that it's NOT a local Grimsby problem.

same with me last night funnily a lot was forums started around 7-8 pm then eased after midnight. I have another strange one is IGN game website actually disconnects me. I have one or 2 which does this. I just end up avoiding them.

If everyone did a tracert in Grimsby ,scunthorpe Lincoln ,Grantham And Newark you will find that some will share the same route when it gets to Notts

So its like the grimsby bus service. I know might sound daft and its likely costs but did VM ever think of token ring setup where you can have 2 paths to the main network if one direction like nottingham is blocked or slow it can re-route the the request and find alternate direction say via eg some other town.

Ned I thought my test came out reasonably well. I think mine actually faster than yours but that third test run is really slow on everybodies test it seems this could be the problem.

Just spent nearly an hour on the phone and back to where I was earlier,I got the too busy message and got cut off or as soon as I mentioned my poor broadband speed they put me back to the faults team.Then one bloke I spoke to and he was english(what a surprise) couldnt even access my account even though for the last 2 days other cs people could.So to be quite honest Im ready to chuck the lot as my avatar makes clear!!
Just come off the phone because im getting totally ******ed off now because nobody at Virgin can do their job properly as in the last hour ive been pushed from pillar to post and got no where,so it one phone call away from chucking the lot in unless someone can bail me out of the quandrie!!

Hmmm, Seems like all these box upgrades are sucking the bandwidth, Be there won't be any changes till they are all finished.
By the way, I'm in Stoke on Trent, 10meg line running @ 138k down most of the time. Strange that the uploads are running normally isn't it.

Hold your horses there. Don't tar everyone at VM with the same brush simply because of your experience your having. :td:

It's clear from the postings in this thread that there is indeed an area problem. But how many people on here have actually called in rather than moan and rant about it on here? They need people to call in so it can be relised that theres clearly a problem that perhaps the systems didnt pick up in the first place.

I mean its not so bad if only the speed is affected but im getting pl everywhere aswell. I mean im sure theres an explanation because usually my service is A+ really.

Well maybe they do know about the problem's that are throughout the uk not just one area. called in 17 times and had two engineers, Download 1meg upload 512k, strange for a 10meg line.

I agree we shouldn't tar people with the same brush, and moaning is never productive, and if you do call VM, as I have done 3 days on the trot now, it gets very disappointing to have to go through the same rubbish with the call centre every time, to be told it's a "logged fault", they are working on it, and there is no targeted fix date. It would be useful if the online Service Status page acknowledged the fault, and keep the paying customers up to date!

I'm a sensible sort of guy, working in IT, and I am very aware of the complexities of large scale networking, and if my network was this poor for 5 days on the run, I would probably out of a job by now. Acknowledgement of the problem and a plan to fix it would be a first step to communicate!

I'm sure the grass isn't any greener with another provider, however 5 days of consistent poor performance is pushing it - currently;

It's probably capacity issues due to the problems highlighted on previous pages... After midnight people go to bed, more free bandwidth etc... Last night it was 2am before i saw a decent enough speed to be acceptable.

There is a big problem in the area .All people have to do is to ring in and say my broadband is very slow and there are other people in the aera who are having the same problem .Looks like Scunthorpe is all right so there traffic is going a different route .So its Grimsby and Lincoln that are having problems .I am trying to get through to the right people to have a look at this .Thoose people who phone in tell them there is a problem BUT DO NOT LET THEM SEND A TECH OUT AS THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO UNLESS YOUR MODEM LIGHTS ARE FLASHING

06-05-2007, 17:47
Anyone here got access to the popup from home per chance? Nothing on the serice status page, but I can see no one here from VM confirming if they are aware of the problem. Just the call centres stating they are, yet booking a tech anyway.

I dread to see what this has done to the leadtime in Grimsby and Scunny tomorrow. Networks survaillance have been somewhat lax of late :( Yet again, I see this to be down to the dispatchers to deal with.

I remember when all of Northern Ireland went offline due to a major fibre break, what did faults do? Took all the points and put the leadtime out to two weeks until they relised "hey, there could be a problem here"

Something like this happened a while back, think it was related to one of the routes onto the nott core but was fixed pretty quickly. I dunno, maybe one of the network techs can enlighten us? If its gonna be less than a meg, bad loss and unreachable sites for more than the few days than its just unacceptable, not getting what we're paying for.

Yes I have will do. On another point could there be other high traffic cause this intermittent slowdown. I was thinking why the capping from 4-12 VM decided. Wondered how VOD streams does it use its own closed seperate system or does it share the broadband highway to ask requests and stream. Could we getting high traffic calls/streams from VOD in the area. Why I say this my VOD doing the same. Although it streams fine once it starts accessing the menus and browsing and the initial request is acting very similar to the broadband.

Oh what i'd give to be getting those speeds, here in Stoke (see other thread) I've been on less than 1Mbps for all but 2 of the last 10 days along with many many others yet NTL CS still refuse to admit any problem which to me means they're doing bugger all about getting it fixed

I am also back to full speed in Lincoln, i won't say 'today' because there are many hours left for it to go horribly wrong again. But for now its back to full speed and has been for an hour which is longer than it has been all week.

I am in LN2 Lincoln.

My 10mb line here has never been that fast, with my 2mb Kingston ADSL line at work (LN5) always feeling much quicker.

For a few days now I have not been able to connect to a handful of websites.

Annoyingly, they are the one's at the top of my favourites list. :mad:

This is really doing my head in!

I'm having to 'steal' someone else's (obviously non-Virgin Media) wi-fi signal to get to these websites.

(with apologies to whomever it is that is beaming an open wi-fi network signal into my house!)

last nite my speed was 0.55 Mbps and @ the sec i'm getting 1.43 Mbps-that's on the 4 meg service.

07-05-2007, 13:04
I am in LN2 as well, not too bothered with speed but also cannot access favorite sites. Getting really annoyed now. Has anyone had any luck with reporting this problem.?

DarkGashX
07-05-2007, 13:08
Same for me, some of my fav sites are not loading. I know they work as I have checked with a friend on ADSL.

This sucks, we are on DAY 4.

07-05-2007, 13:26
Hey Canny!

I will try to report it (and complain BIG TIME) on Tuesday, I don't want to cell them from my own phone as I know they take AGES to answer - I would rather my boss foot the telephone bill! ;)

Well ive just rung up CS yet again and actually got someone whos english and they did all the same tests ive done over the last 3 days since I noticed this problem.So ive an engineer to come around on Friday night(best time for me) and then the CS said they might even repull the cable(s) to see if that works as the cables have been down a long time on my property (CS words not mine BTW):confused::confused::confused::confused::confu sed:
So I wonder if that doesnt work what else can they try to speed up my connection:confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused:

Ok there is a problem with Nottingham with the DHCPs they are working on it but have not got a ETA yet .I have tested 3 modems in Grimsby headend and they are all giving slow speeds .PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NOTHING A TECH CAN DO SO BOOKING ONE IS A WASTE OF TIME .I have been do different areas of Grimsby ,Cleethorpes And Immingham testing and it is a core problem.Lets hope it is fixed today:)

Im also from Grimsby, and have been told the UBR im on has gone Black ... this sounds bad and could be the reason why people are having some problems in grimsby?

Nedkelly
07-05-2007, 16:53
No its got nothing to with the ubr black is the status of the ubr meaning its ok .The Problem is with the Nottingham DHCP because Lincoln is having the same problem:)

Sneck
07-05-2007, 17:01
Yup Lincoln certainly is having the same problems..

Overall Average Speed = approx 455 Kbps, 0.44 Mbps


The annoying thing is that I got given 10mb for the price of 4mb for 3 months to see if it could sort the rubbish speed problems I was getting 3 months ago. They dropped me back down to 4mb on the 1st of may and its been like this since so I can't even tell if they've sorted the problems I was getting before.


Also, I have not been able to get through to Virgin now for 4 days, I get that message saying they are busy then it hangs up!!!

TONYHAMILTON
07-05-2007, 19:52
Ive just another test and got 503 kb/s so Im ringing up again and going to ask for dial up!!
Not a bad speed for 10MB is it??

Just had a very nice chat with one of VM's engineers, It is to do with the set top boxes, all the firmware and programing software is being updated on all set top boxes throughout the country, When you phone in and they check your line they can only check your upload speed and not your download, They will tell you that your line is ok, Well it is, nothing wrong with your equipment either, It's the garbage they are sending down the lines to do the updates thats choking up the system. Don't expect your speeds to get back to normal for the next ten days or so.

I knew I shud have stayed away from vodafone, where the 3g doesnt work (mind u the gsm is not very good as well). If I put my phone on dual modem, nobody can phone or txt me, the phone reboots :( :( I have asked voda to come out of my contract as I have had nothing but trouble and all they say is "we cant guarantee 3g will work", sounds familiar ... :)

and now I am getting crappy speeds on 10 meg cable modem :( Ok I know it sayd up to 10Mb but I expect it shud be more then the middle tier (4 MB) but when I am getting 1.8mb that it is not very good. I saw in here that they are a few probs in notts, is that any way near getting sorted yet?

Is the slow BB speed and not been able to connect to certain websites one and the same problem or have we got two separate ones?

Believe me I have tried but still haven't gotten through to Virgin, annoying as hell as I have other things I wish to complain about too.

08-05-2007, 00:13
Can we still report a fault via email?

08-05-2007, 00:18
You can complain on email or fill the form in the customer zone under contact us .Try it i have :)

Sneck
08-05-2007, 00:24
Maybe I should do that for now, but I really need to ring them so I can drop my tv package to the free one now that the new EPG is imminent because I'm not willing to pay for another cut down service... amongst other things.

Its like Virgin have somehow made NTL worse???

Nedkelly
08-05-2007, 00:29
Some will say it has some will say its got better .Not seen a big problem like this for a while .The question i have asked is why did it take so long to find .You have people in Grimsby and Lincoln calling in for the same fault .And these people are not on the same node / ubr .I have said i have seen this in Scunthorpe some time ago :) I think there might be a lot of people complaining about this and so they should :)

It gets better in the morning,then gradually throughout the day gets worse,

untill like now you can do sod all,

Might as well you open the window and throw my monthly subscription costs out as this is going on too long with nothing or very little being done,

Nobody can say it will be fixed on such a date so does that mean we can all call in and ask for reduced rates as were not getting the full service were paying for?

i've been graphing the packet loss throughout the last 4 hours to one of my servers in redbus that has direct peering with ntl so not involving any transit providers, currently averaging about 3% in the last few mins, was about 20% earlier.
I'll post a graph tomorrow probs and i'll keep it going as it happens.

Some will say it has some will say its got better .Not seen a big problem like this for a while .The question i have asked is why did it take so long to find .

More than likely because the agents were closing the tickets. Outage team only pick up open tickets (closed ones are seen as problem resolved). Also, with so few faults raised, they wouldn't pick it up to be honest

but just to say, as well, why were so few faults raised for this network problem? - could it be because the service continued, even at half speed or less, that many people didn't notice?

Can it get any worse?

Dont mean to nit pick but and 0845 number is not a premium rate number, it is classed as a local call. All premium rate numbers start 09**

:)

lincsat
08-05-2007, 03:57
AFAIC Premium rate is any call that costs more than normal, or at a premium.

I can call a local number for 0p per minute - 0845 numbers cost me 4p per minute.

Thats a significant premium wouldn't you say!

It's an infinite increase over local calls, so yes...very significant. Probably wont be too significant on the bills, though.

Looks like I'm getting about 3mb now here in Lincoln which is the highest I've got the last few days. I started a torrent off this morning and its just trickling down so I'm a bit shocked I'm getting 3mb on a speedtest?

Anyway, lets hope THIS problem is sorted for everyone so I can find out if the problem I was having before is still there.

Tried non Nottingham proxies without any success.

The DNS servers are acting very erracticaly, a proxy won't help you unless that proxy knows the IP address of the site that you wanting to visit, if it doesn't it tries to perfrom a DNS lookup on the same DNS servers that aren't working.

I've probably not made much sense with that at all.
