Hi all
in a nutshell....i had a great 10MB service never a problem
upgraded to 20MB and now get same speed and pings as 10MB but most of the time worse

The modem power levels are fine so any issue must be elsewhere so you need to call Tech Support which is open 24/7 on 151 from your Virgin Media Phone.

It's absolutely free.

Or call 0845 454 1111 from any other phone line.

have posted same results on newsgroups last night but have no reply as yet (4 hours?)
am about to phone again but im guessing ill get

or ill lose patients before this time
had a tech out and he said it was ok got 16MB when he tested it at 2pm in afternoon but i have just put internet on and got

It seems that this is a common problem. I only noticed how bad my connection was when I got CODMW2 for Christmas. ARRGGGG drove me crazy getting disconnected every two mins or not connecting at all, terrible for my kill/death ratio.

VM installed a new modem and that did the trick for me!

got off phone from brill guy in scotland who couldnt help although was v patient and waited while i tested on 3 machines, we lost 25% packets wirelesly but couldnt replicate hard wired although speeds crap hard wired tried new ethernet cable. i think wireless n not reaching me well combined with a massively over subscribed ubr still only getting

its just not good enough he asked me to do it at noon on a weekday .......i dont need good speeds at that time
he also suggested applying pressure for free 50mb upgrade but i think there is more chance of my modem cooking my breakfast
this is all VM over populating its network to maximise profits at the cost of customers who have been there for 12 years im near to giving up

Hi Steve,

I've checked the network and it seems its not oversubscribed but is
seeing high usage during peak times which is causing your loss. It is
currently being monitored and if it continues it will be raised for
relief work to be carried out.

If you read between the lines of Paul McFly's reply, there are some interesting (to me at least) points).

1/
VM distinguish oversubscription from high usage. It would be interesting to know what number per trunk and what number per UBR VM put as the oversubscription threshold.

2/
High usage is VM's get out of jail card (the "up to" definition). Here one is tempted to criticise VM if they appear not to monitor for and act on high usage. But Paul McFly has said that this particular situation is being monitored and relief work would follow if this pattern of usage continues.

I glean from this that users have to complain because VM would not be pro-active everywhere, only in problem areas.

But bit by bit we see light at the end of the tunnel, IMO.

Oversubscription and 'high usage' are quite different things really.

It may have not many customers on it but they may be quite heavy users causing congestion. All cable networks are oversubscribed, far more bandwidth sold than they could possibly support if everyone saturated their connections at once, the key is how much oversubscription is done and if it affects service. This can be a very different figure between different areas, I've seen some areas that have problems with less than a quarter the number of active modems in others.

VM monitor usage quite thoroughly, the issue is really the guidelines they have for when they upgrade.

They have graphs of utilisation every 5 minutes for the previous 24 hours, and % of time a port is above 80, 90 and 99% for the previous week.

Oversubscribed is just a handy term to use for when a port is congested / experiencing 'high usage'. It may not actually be excessively oversubscribed it may just be heavily utilised by the existing customers relative to the number of subscribers using it.

That a port is being monitored and will be passed to planning if the issue persists is a standard reply which has been used for a while so no real 'progress' there it's part of what the 2nd line tech support guys do.

That's disappointing. It would amount to prevarication (on a scale truth-->stalling-->prevarication-->lying) attributable to the person who coined that insincere response.

Hi Steve,

I can see from our diagnostic tools that the problem you are experiencing at
present is intermittent and occurring sporadically. We will keep an eye on
this issue and monitor your area for any further occurrences, with a view to
resolve as soon as we have identified the precise problem.

Not really. They have a criteria that ports must reach else planning will pass any ticket they raise for that port back as not reaching the required criteria for action. The criteria are in place to avoid temporary high load such as that encountered during some public events, holiday periods, people getting snowed in ;) etc triggering an upgrade which isn't actually required 95% of the time.

I suspect they are just doing their job and following process.

sorry guys im having real problems with a conflict between outlook and live mail, still cannot see your replies.

I must say although I am now starting to experience a better level of support, and am really happy people are now seeing my problems but other than replacing the modem and router, nothing is happening and i still have a poor connection.

I understand that there are utilisation issues, but im sure they were there when i signed up for a year (2 months ago) but sales lady must not have known she could have said dont bother and i would have remained on 10MB

just been given a free months internet having spoken to a lovely man in retentions, i have the postal address for complaints also after an offshore customer "service" person said if you are not happy write and complain (OMG) anyway... free rubbish internet is almost bearable and can now voip through my mobile as i have had to get unlimeted internet on my phone (i got 7meg from vodafone today very impressed exactly twice what i am now getting off 20MB)
the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer, the lovely man said if it continues following a call not next week but the week after from their troubleshooter guy then i will have to be upgraded to 50MB (boo hoo poor me)
you guys are great thanks for all your support i will feed back regularly to you and newsgroup dudes!

Having a slow connection is not good as this is cable and not ADSL so should work well in my opinion.

Here is a typical speed i get on the 20meg service.

Just one other thing, why does the speedtest.net result list the ISP as Telewest??
Surely by now this should have been ammended to Virginmedia.

Oi - what's with the meerkat? I've got dibs on that!!!

Anyway, there are a number of infrastructures glued together - Telewest, NTL, C&W and Virgin (new). The list might not be complete. The IP address you're issued from VM is registered to the original company - VM didn't need to change that because all the brands are under common ownership.

So that's your explanation.

thank you all for your thoughts and help especially seph who had to put up with my initial forays into forums and networking (although i still have mere-cat teeth marks from hijacking other people threads on VM forum)

communication is the key to success, especially with the great guys on newsgroups (windows livemail was a nightmare i would defo go for grabbit now) if that doesnt work i think asking for a free upgrade to 50MB might get the vans out the depot looking at the network.
anyway until i can find something else to moan about peace out !

I just got 50meg installed last week and all is well. I downloaded the latest Nvidia graphics drivers from Nvidia's website and had a file transfer rate of between 4.8 and 5.5 MB/sec on a 150 meg file so it was very quick.

Here is my speedtest result.

I have contacted them MANY times since I first a ping like this. After months of moaning, apparently they're looking into it but we will see,

retentions are the most effective, tell them you want out and they will begin to work for your 600 quid a year

Not everyone has such evidence so their bluff can be called.

surely its only common sense to record data when facing a problem, if people cannot evidence their problem i would imagine they are trying it on.
I wouldn't dream of complaining until i had constructed a portfolio of evidence, i guess that's the sign of a semi-pro moaner lol
