Or someone maxed out the line or there was a burst of traffic for a single ping interval.

Did the spike cause problems with your service?

In my opinion VM have 2 prime reasons for pushing out the superhub neither to do with capability of delivering 100mbit.

1 - making easier for tech support staff.
2 - ability to remotely control the device.

Wasn't using it at the time so couldn't say. But Super Hub "lock ups" which appear and disappear for short times were common last time, so I guess that's what it looks like on the graph.

I'm sure if you changed every single password (web GUI/telnet/other) they wouldn't be able to do that.

You do realise that you have to tick remote management yourself in the Superhub.

Would expect a lock up to look like packet loss rather than a 140ms latency spike.

Be interesting to see a report from someone who sees the issue.

Those spikes appear every hour or two, very strange.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

I have a feeling their caused by the samknows performance testing monitor. Both tests going off at the same time?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)



Just had a bit of wonkyness from the superhub. The wifi died and needed resetting (hence the slither of packetloss) The wifi seemed to start acting up during the spike in average latency. Odd.

Spot on Igni, checked today via CEO's office, whilst asking a few other questions.

If you look at my first graph (post No.1) where the latency increases at peak time, they said utilisation only reached 60% during that time, so as far as VM are concerned they cant see a problem or understand why my gaming is so pants, kind of makes me feel like a fraud to be honest but I'm not making it up when I say its pretty dire.





So for now I've asked to be downgraded to 30/3 to see if that makes any difference and I will just have to wait till Sky pull their finger out of their bums, and get me on their 20Mbps Unlimited offering.

Not so much if he's using the Super Hub. Mine has done another couple of partials, and one very obvious complete packet blackout.



Well, there you have it. Steadily more conclusive proof of the Super Hub's inferiority, in my opinion. Skie's graph seems to back that up.

Ripped out the Super Hub (no reply from Mark_W over at VM forums RE: new firmware pilot 2 days later) and dropped back the old Ambit 250/D-Link DIR-615 D2 w/DD-WRT combo. Instantly noticed much improved speed of retrieving webpages among other things. Enormous improvement. Older equipment = better service, just have to sit tight for the bridge mode I suppose.

Nope no super hub here. Don't want to go near the thing until it gets a bridging mode.
