Hi guys, I'm new here, but lately I've been having a lot of problems with the speed.
I work for Sky, i'm actually in their CST dept, So I've a fair idea about adsl connections/ Stats. Cable however is slightly different, Frequencies/ power levels, Which I'm not 100% Sure on.
I'm on the 20mb Package but lately I've been getting extreme amounts of packet loss (Which I raised to VM, They agreed there was a fault and raised to it to their tier 2 team & I was told I would get a call back - Which never happened).
Past few days, browsing has got extremely slow, gaming has got horrendus and downloading anything is just WOFAL!
On speed tests I get 2-4mb at any time of the day.
My modem is only a few months old!
I don't do a lot of downloading, but I do game, But I don't think I would go over 1.5GB a day anyway.
I got on the phone to VM got annoyed doing the same stuff over and over again and asked to speak to someone higher up, so I spoke with a manager regarding this issue.
I was asking about this PAcket loss issue and if there was any updates, They said the issue was resolved and closed.
He said it was an SNR Issue - I asked what was wrong, he couldn't answer me.
He got me doing some MTR's - Seemed fine - Odd high ping on hops 5 or whatever.
He then said, theres an issue with the frequency to the modem.
I told him the modem was brand new, he said he would have to get an engineer out.
I don't think this engineer will be able to help at all.
Can someone look at these stats and tell me what is going on with them please?
