Glasgow G20 upload network issues
Hi im looking for some advice. Virgin media noticed that my upstream levels was to far reduced my upload speed from 10mb to 0.26mb. They noticed its a network fault from broomhill affecting g20 postcodes, does anybody else have this and also why does this affect downloads like 10 mins for a 9mb file but pages browse ok

Re: Glasgow G20 upload network issues
i am a bit confused, I am assuming you are on 100mbit if you think you should have 10 up? Can you post your power levels by going to 192.168.100.1 if your shub (which I assume you have) is in modem mode or 192.168.0.1 if it is in router mode (it is in this mode if you are using wireless or have more than one device wired to it)

Re: Glasgow G20 upload network issues
go to http://192.168.0.1. It will pop up the login page and you'll need to enter your username and pass. The default is admin/changeme. Once you have logged in click on advanced settings bottom middle and then click on connection. There should be 3 tables full of numbers and stuff, copy the whole lot and paste in here.

Re: Glasgow G20 upload network issues
nice to see you on 5 ds channels and 2 upstream. Your downstream is pretty much spot on, the only concern is your upstream power is borderline minimum. 34 is the minimum and as an example, mine is 49 atm. If they say it is a network fault then fair enough because more often than not they won't even admit it. Give it till Monday to see if they fix it otherwise ring them up again and get a tech to come out and look at it because it can easily be fixed either on the modem itself or at your street cabinet.

Re: Glasgow G20 upload network issues
because when you download a file from a website you are forming 1 connection to that site/file and using 1 downstream channel to download that 1 file. So the dite itself might be slow/congested and the channel you are using might be congested as well.
When you use torrents you are potentially forming hundreds of connections to different people, using all 5 of your downstream channels sucking up as much speed as they can give you. If one user is only uploading at 5k it dosnt stop someone else like me from uploading at 1mb/sec to you and you are also less likely to see congestion on any one channels as the other 4 channels should make up for it with load balancing. This is why a lot of people favour p2p protocols like torrents and usenet.

Re: Glasgow G20 upload network issues
you have two upstreams, up until now no one has had upstream bonding which is getting more than 1 upstrema channel so hopefully it means it getting rolled out and peopel wills ee some improvement in the connection

same as what i said above. Whenever you have uploaded stuff you have only ever used one channel for it which has been shared between all the other users in your area so it could be easily congested with the recent speed upgrades. By bonding another channel so you now use 2 upstream channels (like 5 downstreams) your upstream traffic will be split between the 2 channels helping you to achieve max speed.
I have no idea why you cant play games online. If it is with the shub I would hazzard a guess to say it is a port forwarding issue

Well with the vita I can go onto ps store and stuff just gaming online is a issue can the low upload on 3072 kb be a cause

Trying to play online games but after 3 mins games stop and ps vita keeps losing connection as I said before my upload is around 3000 kb / s should be 9 or 10 mb is this the reason

Re: Glasgow G20 upload network issues
na, 3mbits up is about 350k which is more than enough for gaming. If you can actually start playing the game then you havent got a port forwarding issue. I am crying as I say this but it isn't your connection with VM which is the issue, it is the wireless on the shub. Have you got any other devices you connect wirelessly like mobile phones or laptops?
