View Full Version : Speed randomly inconsistent

Hi.

For over two months now the speeds on my PS3 and laptop through Virgin have been slow every evening and at different times randomly throughout the day. My laptop on speedtest.net is almost always between 16meg and 20meg, but after 3pm it can go anywhere from from 6 to 11mb, then 8 a minute later, then back to full speed an hour or so later and after 10pm it settles at round about 10mb.

I'm using wired direct to the modem on the PS3 and NAT type is 1 so it doesn't need DMZ or anything like that and we've never had a problem before. It's just the one minute it'll be fast, then slow to a crawl, then go fast again and not knowing why is a bother.

I've asked on the Virgin help forum but it's 3 days with no reply now. I'll post the same info I have there, any help will be much appreciated.

the receive power level is a little high other than that nothing springs to mind i would say you need to do some other test when it happens ot try help identify the problem if you are itnerested in doign them ill post what you need to do

i say mnor cause there above 30ms but not by much nothing is suggestinga problem

again i can post what tests to do when it happens and what ifnormation to get formt eh modem it can help identify the problem

the receive power level is a little high other than that nothing springs to mind i would say you need to do some other test when it happens ot try help identify the problem if you are itnerested in doign them ill post what you need to do

Thanks, I'll give anything a try to find out the problem. After reading around it does seem my power level is the thing that could be a small issue.

Andrewcrawford23
04-01-2012, 15:18
ok ill post the tests to do teh next time you get the problem will take me a bit of tiem to write them up

i might nto gt ti done before i go out but ill try get it done by the en dof tonight at least if you do these test if you go to support you will have the resutls of what is happening when the fault arises as generally there itnermtient and only become a problem fora while which is what your soudns like

04-01-2012, 15:24
Thanks very much, I'll keep an eye out and try them.

ping -n 25 -l 1024 bbc.co.uk
ping -n 25 -l 65500 bbc.co.uk

tracert bbc.co.uk

pathping bbc.co.uk

if in the above ping you do nto get 100% back

do this additonally

ping -n 100 192.168.100.1

if that is fine

do these addiotnally

ping -n 50 213.105.174.169
ping -n 50 195.182.174.213

also log into the modem and post

the upload and download ifnormation including snr and power levels and frequency

if you can find the page which is on some modem that detaisl modem acitivy post that

if you are using yoru rotuer when it happens also try direct to the modem and post results of the above test direct to the modem as well

i have afew otehr test you can do but ill need to post those later

if you have a torrent client installed if you can downloaded alinux distrubtion torrent for example ubuntu dvd and say what speeds you achive on this

ill post anotehr way to do a dwnlaod speed test which doenst use torrent or speedtest sites later

Mr-Hare
04-01-2012, 16:21
I'll try them, usually it happens any time from now.

It doesn't seem like a big problem but I can't help shake the feeling it's still more than the usual over subscribed area capping. I don't get disconnected from the PS3 or my laptop, depending which I'm on at the time. But It's noticeable on downloads, sometimes it'll speed through, sometimes it'll go fast then slow after so many percent, and some it'll go slow from the start. But I haven't got a torrent client installed on my laptop, last time it got a virus so I tend to not do much on it.

If it is just a high receive power level I assume an engineer will know what to do to fix it, something to do with the outside access box isn't it?

Oh the modem is the black Virgin Media one. It came with a Netgear router but I never use it, always preferred wired direct to the modem for gaming and occasional net browsing.

I heard the BT wholesale site was decent for checking speed but it won't let me try. It says my telephone number isn't recognised and I don't know the service ID it asks for.

That's what I tried, just says error not able to run test for your telephone number all the time. And I haven't got the service ID to try because the call workers at Virgin are next to useless and read from a script. I'll post my evening results now.

dnt use speed test site there not entirely realible, one thing mot peopel forget is they have to have the bandwidht to tdo the test, but where you downlaoding stuff form has to have the bandwidth to give to you, it could jsut be that they dnt have neough.

torrents for linux distrubtions will generally give 98% or more because of how they work, but the other tihng ill get oyu to try is from sites with huge huge bandwidth in the regning of 5000 200mb connections ill post other stuff to do soon

ok can you tell me what type of modem oyu have and how logn you have had it? not really a major thing but the fact the mdoem cant geta time is suggestive it might be having a problem in some levle that coudl also cause speed sissues

i dnt think he has, but the signla is marginal it could be causingthe problem but it suspect it something else more than the downstream power level

Mr-Hare
04-01-2012, 17:56
Thanks for the replies lads. No I haven't phoned to get a tech out yet, just wanted to make sure if it was a problem first.

I've had the modem nearly 3 years now, it's the black Virgin media 255/256 cable modem. It's only been these past 3 months it's seemed slow, and it's always on the PS3. The 360 still seems to download fast.

I'll try those other ping tests now, if that'll help further point to a certain problem.

if it jsut the ps3 it oculd jsut be there server, ps3 have hada lot of problem over the last 6 months but it aint publcily known but it might not be it coudl sitll bea problem, once youre abler to get all the information ill try give a ebtter idea

what rotuer are you using?

im going to post how to do multiply downlaod to test your speed

so you connect one device at a time for the net? dude call VM 150 from your landline and book a tech for an attenuator (lower power levels) and a free VM Hub which is a combined modem/router

Andrewcrawford23 - those MS links gives me poor speeds.

Mr-Hare... open http://speedtest.net/ and look for the Manchester server then test - move your mouse cursor to the little white dot on the map below (don't click on the tab) begin test recommend server which upper left - two options will appear Manchester and Liverpool.. click on Manchester. bear in mind the sites flash/graphics hungry so it may not perform well if you've got a slow system.

you can also test via VM server files (download a file) - http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/demos/

we have also establish you have internet problem regardless if it clones or not, gamefiles isnt good enough for 50mb and above hence why i dnt use it anymore microsoft has a 10gb backbone with about 100 server farms they have plenty of bandwidth i easily get 6.4mb/s from one file

I have a router, it's just I prefer hard wired to wireless. It's all close so it's no bother to change the wire.

The Manchester server on speedtest hasn't ever gone over 10m ever since I upgraded to 20m nearly 2 months ago. The Birmingham one is what they always say to pick when I do phone, and right now that's saying 14.48mbps download and 1.95mbps upload.

i dnt use the speed site there unrealible

even though it hardwire if there a fault on the rotuer it can cause speed problems once you have done all teh test if you try pluging the cable from the comptuer direct to the modem we can see if it the router but jsut now ill see if it vrigin network cause it coudl be

let them go for about 1-2minutes take the speed form them, they will vary from as low as 10kb/s to 2.4mb/s just takea average speed so if it varies from 450-550 just say it was 500kb/s and post all 4 file speeds ill total them and work out what sort fo speed your getting, once you have got the speed cacncek them ther ento require for any logner than 1-2 miutes

The speeds after two minutes were. My laptop is old and not the best if that might affect those speeds.

485kb/s
478kb/s

608kb/s

withthe fiels your getting apprix 18-19mb so that suggests you getting about full speed so far there nothign really suggest a problem

your xbox download is suggesting your getting near full speeds to

i think the problem might be with yoru ps3

ok from the test so far we can safely say your connection is wokrign fine but the problem i only your ps3 is slow? if so i suggest maybe contacting sony since your ps3 might be faulty or the server you download the fiels from are not giving oyu full speed on ps3

Thanks for your help mate. It must just the PS3 servers or the PS3. Is it worth getting a tech out for the high receive power level, or is that not really a big thing.

Also I thought I'd try a pathping, but it just says 0 No Resources. Is that an issue?

can you post the exact thing you type in command prompt and it response that a unusualy response so i need ot see it context to say what, usualy it means memory management has failed since pathping does use quite a bit of memory well sort of compared to other command pormpt commands

it would depend on the person you spoke ot in techincally suport, they might send they might not, with the resutls your getting form teh pc they probally say it fine, the power levels area guide and are start poitn if htere a problem but your power level is marginally if it was lower you probalyl get a bit better performance but lowerin it coudl cause other problem since it not really affecting you my advice is to leave it, obviously if things change adn your gtting problem it would be the first thing i look at

oh how i hate vista

basically run command prompot as administrator will fix it

Yep, that worked. I'll post the results but it is looking like everything on my side is alright and it's a sony server or PS3 problem isn't it. Either way you've been a massive help today.

It's a strange one all round. Like I say it's fine on the PS3 before 3pm. I got a download that was over 7gb last week and it only took 55 minutes. All the trouble happens in the evenings.

Just running that test now.

04-01-2012, 21:07
i would say traffic management but your download speeds would be slower

its a possabilty that virign have changed there applicaiton management and now during peak hours ps3 is getting seen as bad app so getting restricted

i wont be able to o that sort of check but after giving support these details hopefully they might be able to look into it it happen i think on world of warcraft at one point

ok it seems for some reason your losing packets when there getting large packets which could explain your ps3 problem as since you will be downlaoding largers files they generally go as larger packetse

1500 is max size is it not, so 65500 will always fail, it does for me

Well I've posted up on the Virgin forums hoping they can help sort what it is, they still haven't replied to my original post from 5 days ago though so I'm stuck really.

If they do reply they'll probably come back with the heavy traffic on local UBR causing it excuse that they seem fond of giving others.

works fine for me 1500 is the mtu nothing to do with packet size as such, and if it always fails why did ubr reply?

Here's my thread on the Virgin forum. I'll give it a few days, if I get no reply then I'll have to phone.
