Hi,

I was downloading some large files on wednesday, when all of a sudden my internet was disconnected?
So I did the usual thing unplug the modem for 2 mins and then plugged the power pack back in and still I had no ready light?
So I unplugged again and then un screwed the socket that connects to the modem to the brown box outside, again left for the 2mins roughly and then plugged the power back in and w00t+ my internet was back online.
So I started to download again and WTF my program called GrabIT I use to download files from Newsgroups was showing speeds of 5436 kps and my ETA for the files to be complete was 45mins, the file/s size was well over 8Gb.

SO like my title says is anyone else getting this speed?
I have noticed that it does go back to to 20Mb at peak times but come 12 o'clock I get the 50Mb again.

AWESOME!!!

Also I live in Manchester, on the Baguley Exchange.

What does your modem config say:

http://192.168.100.1/
Password/Username = root

can you point me in the right direction please m8?

Type that IP address in the address of your browser, when it prompts you for a username and password they are both "root" without the quotes. When you have logged in, look for a link saying "operation configuration" and copy and paste the contents.

If you were on 50mb it would say 51200000/1536000 (I think :p:)

01-08-2008, 11:54
Ok cool i'll do it when I get home @ work at the moment.
But I was getting well over 5000kps on my download, it was awesome.

Also I have 4 m8's who are both on 20Mb connection and they where saying to me that there Internet seemed faster than usual and went to Robin Walker and did the speed test and pasted me there results from the site and the 4 lines had something similar to this.

It's an erroneous reading.....

Mainly due to the fact that the DOCSIS 2 modems can't get that high, the 50Mb trials are all on DOCSIS3

Well all I know is that I when I usually download I get roughly 2400 kps but off peak times for the last 2 days I am getting between 4000 - 5200 kps.

ok log into the mode as it has been suggested and go to operating config and post what it says for downstream and upstream data rate

what server are you using? it is possible that it was just compression on the line

I have just spoken to the Virgin media tech guys and they are having trouble at there end of something, so they cant access my account at the minute?
So he going to ring me back, he did tell me however that although I have a 256 modem model it can support 50mb Even though the manufacture's site say otherwise

@Kymmy

I will post my config sceen when I get home at 5pm and all I want to know is if I am not getting 50mb then why is it downloading at 5000kps (roughly) ?

Thats all I want to know!

Kymmy
01-08-2008, 13:04
Miss-reporting is the main reason...though there are others

Until you try various pseed test methods and checked the operational config then take the reported speed with a pinch of salt.

The modem can NOT do the reported speeds...simple as that...

Robin Walker's test has not been updated in years, and due to the relatively small file that is downloaded is not actually very accurate for high speed broadband (above 10 Meg). Use the one at the top of this page, which is actually the same code as Robin's test, but using a larger file.

Impz2002
01-08-2008, 13:46
this is simple - DOCSIS 2 modems like the 256 CANNOT support 50meg. 50meg is achieved in DOCSIS 3 by bonding multiple channels together. Even if you had a config that allowed "50meg" you would max out at roughly 22meg as the UBR's are limited to this speed by default.

The results you are getting are most likely because your browser is reading from its cache and giving you erronous readings.

Although the DOCSIS 2 modems can work on a DOCSIS 3 frequency it cannot attain higher speeds as it isnt capable of using bonded channels.

Those are the facts !

GrabIT will download at incredible speeds when the files are incomplete. If you have loads of.txt files instead of the rar files you expected then this is the case and you are not on 50mb after all. If you are on 50mb then well done. Won't last long.

dannykilla
01-08-2008, 17:04
Right OK everyone I have just checked the Modem config page and I have attached an image for that and also an image for Grabit while downloading.

Someone on a previous post said that using grabit to download .txt files would show different speed than normal, well I dont download text files, when I download all my files are always .RAR and .PAR files.

Hope this proves I am getting faster speeds than normal.
Also as I am writing this my speed as now just dropped to 2096 kps on Grabit and I would like to re check the Modem Config but I just don't have time sry.

OK people, you decide :)

Below are two images,, one taken from my modem and the other as posted by DannyKilla.

Notice that my (10mb) config list is nice and straight and all report data is inline (check your own ), where as Dannykilla's one is out of line(espescially the data rates :)) (I've added the pink line to highlight the vertical)

Do I smell something???? ;)

I've made a quick gif to make comparison easier. I've also made the modem layout the same, so there's nothing distracting. I don't see too much wrong with it, other than it showing a speed that is faster than the modem is capable of.

Ithink this below which from the Chetnet Knowledge Base wesite will answer all questions already raised in this thread.

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2009/05/4.jpg
Virgin Media 256 (from February / March 2008)

The 256 model will be yet again supplied to Customer specification by Ambit ( www.ambitbroadband.co.uk (http://www.ambitbroadband.co.uk/) ). From the outside it is identical to the 255 model, but features a revised Broadcom chipset, the BCM3349KFBG


This modem is still in a black Ethernet only housing, and is still "Dual Mode", and will be deployed across the whole Virgin Media network, including the ex-Telewest platform.

Does support 10 and 20 Mbps Tier of Service, is capable of 40Mbps+

Note: this modem will not support the 50Mbps service that Virgin Media has announced for launch in late 2008.

please check this link for more NTL modem information http://www.chetnet.co.uk/articles/index.php?page=index_v2&id=91&c=4

Kymmy
01-08-2008, 20:21
Looking at the 256 specs the maximum capable (on a perfect line) is 42Mbps which equates to 4300800 (and not a bit more) on the data rate and not the 43.775Mbps that Dannykilla is claiming to get. Even the UBR's won;t allow a dodgy modem to go above 20Mbps

I have a friend who claims he is on the 50Mbps trial. He sent me his modem config on the 27th July.

Cable Modem Operation Configuration Network Access :
Allowed Maximum Downstream Data Rate : 51200000
Maximum Upstream Data Rate : 1536000
Maximum Upstream Channel Burst : 1800
Maximum Number of CPEs : 1
Modem Capability : Concatenation Enabled, Fragametation Enabled, PHS DisabledI have no reason not to believe him, but who knows. He lives in Aldershot, London if thats of any help. He also quoted to me when I asked him what tier he was on first time I asked:

50mbit - 3gb limit between 4pm and midnight :(He's just sent me his config again while typing this message and its back on 20Mbps, so it was only a short trial.

Since when? It's DOCSIS 2. :p:

I'm sure that's news to Virgin Media considering it's running EuroDOCSIS 1. ;)

http://www.ambitmicroglobal.com/images/uploads/Data_Cable_Modem_ds_v1.4_.pdf

Looks like Ambit need to tidy up their product manuals too. According to the data sheet for that modem it can't actually support EuroDOCSIS - the data rate given on the spec sheet that was linked has nothing about EuroDOCSIS in it only DOCSIS. Symbol rate is DOCSIS and only shows 64QAM not 256QAM despite claims to support it (on normal DOCSIS 256QAM has a different symbol rate), download rates given are pre-overheads and DOCSIS, upstream frequency range is DOCSIS.

It should look something like http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/product_documents/SB5102E_545110_001_a.pdf

Hi guys,

Was on my usenet software downloading a couple of bits and was on the chat rooms talking to some guys. We were talking about ISP's, download speeds stuff like that. One guy said he was with virgin (just like me) on their 20 mb tariff (just like me) and managed to get 50 mbps. I asked him to send me a screenshot of his software which he did, and I said straight away as it was only the start of the download it could be just one cached onto his PC.

I showed him the way to gamefiles.virginmedia.com and asked him to send me one there. The one he sent me is 15% the way through so, as far as I am aware, can not be cached?

How can this be possible, he has DOCSIS 2, and Ambit 256 modem. I thought maybe the picture had been edited but can't see any signs of it?

My view is that unless the OP is the one getting the 50Mb and he's willing to back it up with his modem config pages then it's normall fake...

Hi guys,

Was on my usenet software downloading a couple of bits and was on the chat rooms talking to some guys. We were talking about ISP's, download speeds stuff like that. One guy said he was with virgin (just like me) on their 20 mb tariff (just like me) and managed to get 50 mbps. I asked him to send me a screenshot of his software which he did, and I said straight away as it was only the start of the download it could be just one cached onto his PC.

I showed him the way to gamefiles.virginmedia.com and asked him to send me one there. The one he sent me is 15% the way through so, as far as I am aware, can not be cached?

How can this be possible, he has DOCSIS 2, and Ambit 256 modem. I thought maybe the picture had been edited but can't see any signs of it?

You can see hes on wireless, with 3 paint docs open! norfolk 'n' chance.

Right OK everyone I have just checked the Modem config page and I have attached an image for that and also an image for Grabit while downloading.

Someone on a previous post said that using grabit to download .txt files would show different speed than normal, well I dont download text files, when I download all my files are always .RAR and .PAR files.

Hope this proves I am getting faster speeds than normal.
Also as I am writing this my speed as now just dropped to 2096 kps on Grabit and I would like to re check the Modem Config but I just don't have time sry.

Lets take in thoery everything went wrong on virgin end (and i mean completely wrong even takign into account only DOCSIS3 is capable of 50MB) and you where gettign 50MB.

You do realize how daft your grabit edit is? you left in the amount left to download and the amount of time left, a quick calculation reveals for 11 minutes left with the amoutn your downlaoding your on 20MB not sure why you are saying 50MB.

Ok i can not see any flaws in your picture and went calculating how much is left and the time left they more less are the exact same but there a slight margin of error in calculation which explains why there not the same. Although i am have doubts over this as you do have paint open.

Not read any other posts on you so not sure what modem or DOCSIS your on.

had an extreme laugh as if you look at the grabit page, he edited the time off on time remaining so you couldnt work out 1.5GB is about 10mins on 20meg but forgot to check the bottom where there is clearly 11mins remaining.

additionally the copy and pasted 4s are a laugh, and the none showing of the taskbar.

he also has a proxy running for his newsgroups.

Yes, all the newly elected mods have 100Mbps. It's a perk of the job, the more senior team members have anything from 250 - 1,000.... :erm:

Wow!!...what sort of upload do the mods get? I heard a rumour that its 25mb for the new mods and an amazing 100mb for the senior ones, is that correct?;)

Non-Disclosure Agreement

It is a contract that companies often make people who are testing their products sign, and is to ensure that people don't talk about the products and potentially give competitors sensitive info (things like the capabilities, problems etc).

Not unless they have replaced his modem, and, I believe the tests are limited to Kent.
