Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

My boot-up disruption continues (almost a year now) and investigation seems to have entered a black hole despite assurances I would be kept up to date on progress.


The thread http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...2917052#M47374 seems to be ignored totally most of the time by VM, except when one of the staff pop-up and say they can only read the last post as "it's the way their system is set up".

They are also aware that the fault is common in my local area and beyond.

I have also used an advanced config file within Kodi to allow it to use greater cache for buffering. I really believe it is the SH3 causing the problem even if my connection appears not to be dropping out.
Okay so...you can't really forward a single port to multiple devices, it doesn't really work that way - so I am not entirely sure what you've done there. IS there a better way to connect to livedrive than FTP? FTP is....less than ideal.

I've got my SH3 in modem mode, have done for months and it hasn't given me any grief at all.

I forwarded a range which included 21.


I cannot account for the problems I am having, along with a good number of other SH3 users. ( The forums surely aren't lying.) Folk at CS mostly say that my case is their first. I get a feeling that the problem is being brushed under the carpet.

There is a mobile app for Livedrive streaming, which I am trying out. My T95 box for TV, the one I have been using for Kodi, is Android. It works for streaming, direct from the Livedrive web pages, but the quality does not reflect the original. A Blue Ray looks like SD. It is also cumbersome to use, having to switch my remote into mouse mode and back frequently.

You can still only forward one port to one internal address. If you've forwarded a range, you've forwarded several ports to either the same address or different ports to different addresses. Either way, range or not, port 21 can only go to a single address.

Hmmm, that's a shame. Does livedrive support any other protocols?

Appreciate any suggestions on the above spikes. It's something to do with my desktop pc as they only occur when I turn it on.

When they occur I get a brief period where I cannot connect to any web sites. Have run full virus scans - I'm using Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2016 and also using Zonealarm Pro firewall.

SFTP WebDav

Just to complicate things Livedrive posted this yesterday. Now I'm wondering how long that has been going on for and whether or not I have been slagging off SH3 more than I needed to.

"9th Aug 16 - 15:31
FTP/SFTP/WebDAV: Performance issues

We are currently experiencing issues with the services that run FTP/SFTP & WebDAV, customers may see drops in the transfer speeds. Our engineers are in the process of investigating.

Looks like Superhub 3 problems to me. Just a guess.

It looks very similar to the regular 30 minute drop out I had when I swapped to SH3. The solution, in the end, was to boost my power levels and 'reroute' my connection.

Time to call CS methinks. Also post your graph in the official help forum. http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...unityHubForums You should get a response from VM techies there.

Thanks for reply roughbeast when I get the chance I'm going to connect the laptop via ethernet just to see if the same thing happens before I take it further.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Stands to reason, if it only happens when the PC is switched on, the PC may be the one at fault.

Not entirely sure what PC fault would cause a graph like that though.

Quite.

TBB measures activity modem-side. Increased traffic initiated by your PC would show up. Drop outs are caused modem-side or actually in the network itself.

Could low power levels produce a periodic drop out when the system is put under pressure by a connected PC?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

I connected the laptop via ethernet cable and had no problems at all. Switched back to the pc, even tried swapping to the cable and port used with the laptop, and the symptoms started again as soon as I turned it on.

That's something I forgot to mention that it starts on boot-up, seems to occur approx every hour even if pc is idling, doesn't have to be doing any obvious tasks.

Have you got something that happens periodically, like a scheduled review of cloud files by some client on your PCs?


The fact that the effect occurs only when your PC is on doesn't mean that the fault is with you. I would still bank on power levels. Call CS, especially if the drop outs are affecting your quality of service.
