Upstream P2P Traffic Management Trial Feeback

After the successful out of hours trial of our combined upstream and downstream file sharing traffic management policy we will be trialling this new policy between 17:00 and 00:00 (12:00 and 00:00 at weekends) for one week starting on Wednesday 2nd of March.

Between these times P2P and Newsgroup upstream traffic will be managed in a similar way to our current downstream traffic management. If the trial is successful we'll launch the new policy immediately.

We're interested if you could tell us how this affects your broadband connection over the next few days and if you see any improvement at peak times.

Note: Please stay on topic, this thread is for technical feedback on the trial not about the policy in general.

I can't really report as never had peak time problems. can people also let us know how it effects p2p traffic. i know p2p is not as importent as realtime but will be nice to know both sides of the story :smileyhappy:

This is pretty decent apart from the ping which is way too high.

I was also thinking of leaving in april but i wanted to see how this trial of uostrem managment went because the problem was high upstream utilisation in my area people uploading stuff and clogging the net but seeing as the Upstream thing came in at 5pm today i have never seen results like these. So its goo.

Our 30Mb connection seems to be much better today- we were only receiving around 6- 7meg downstream before this trial.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please keep this new traffic management policy in place, it seems to have sorted our connection 100% to my satisfaction.

 

I'll keep updating regularly with updates about how our connection is working now.

 

First compliment to Virgin for a few months- Thanks Virgin :smileyhappy:
