Well, that's the great thing about these tests. A way to show how good or bad connections and CPEs are in graph form.

Right now it's like a "put up or shut up" solution for all those badmouthing the Super Hub, myself included!

odd enough its been ok for almost 3 weeks now.

System Up Time 19 days 14h:58m:42s

This is either down to luck or that not much port forward traffic is occuring, when it kept bombing out I was utilising port forwarding all day.

My household went from 10Mb to 20Mb in December and that particular agent sent out a Super Hub, possibly as a "bonus" for longtime customers such as us, I don't know. Possibly to entice us to upgrade further.

Short answer: the VM call centre system is very inefficient. Within the same call last week I was offered the 30Mb speed for free, then told I'd need to pay £30 despite already having the Super Hub.

But no, never paid a penny and don't plan to. I'd have the 30Mb upgrade right now except I probably can't get a VMNG300 modem sent out and registered and I have no interest in running my very unreliable Super Hub constantly to get it. Just waiting for the May bridge mode update we've been repeatedly promised.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Well I'll be damned.




Comparable performance. But I will point out NO-ONE in the household is using the Super Hub wireless and I haven't been in much so very little in the way of LAN transfers - these are usually the things that cause trouble. Lower latency is no doubt a result of being on the DOCSIS3 network rather than legacy DOCSIS1.

I wanted to take the Super Hub out but I'm trying to sign up for the new firmware pilot and I might just leave it in. And if I do that I suppose it's worth going up to 30Mb. I'm not keen on the idea because of all the trouble it has caused in the past, but if it hasn't done something stupid by the weekend I might have to grin and bear it.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

you may still be on the docsis1 network as you on the same tier service. They wont move you just because you have the superhub.

for connectivity quality the superhub is fine, its issues as far as I am concerned are on the router side of it although I have had some dropouts early on the uptime for me at the moment is ok. I suspect modem issues that do occur will be a side affect of the router having issues as its an all in one device.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

This is the second Superhub, installed last night, and I'm proved right; it didn't fix the fault because it's a network issue!

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Yeah, surprisingly they do.

So what's the deal with 30Mb, is that still 4 bonded on the down and just 1 on the up?

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

same yeah, same as 50meg 4 down and 1 up. No services bond on the up yet and I suspect when they do bring it in, all tiers will use bonding (that have docsis3 modem). As it manages capacity much better, gets rid of balancing issues.

eg. my live graph looks ok but if I were to change to the other upstream channel allocated to my port I bet it would be more congested. So there is 2 upstream channels on my port but VM dont bond them yet.

100Mb is delivered on 4 bonded channels and just one upstream but alegedly
the ambit 300 modem can't handle it but it can with a 50Mb connection which uses exactly the same and gives more information to the user in the stats pages etc.

Could that be why VM won't allow it?

Well if they are doing 4 bonded downstreams and only one up on every tier trying to banish the VMNG300 makes no sense at all. I swear I read that it can handle up to 200Mb and we're a couple of years away from that. If they're so worried about costs of upgrading a large number of CPEs, you'd think shifting the modems they have would be a priority. I don't buy Masque saying "oh they only keep Ambit 300s to do like for like swaps in case of failure" either; surely then would be the time to upgrade to the Super Hub, not before? From a business point of view VM are pulling some stupid, half-cocked nonsense it seems.

Uh-oh. See that big streak just before 4pm? Looks like one of those classic "Super Hub" blips to me. If I see more than three in one day, out it comes.
