In the 01 area, by the looks of it the whole network must have had issues at the same time last night. Good to know it isn't our local boxes though!
On the plus side you don't have the big packet loss spikes for the most part, but BQM really doesn't tell the whole story.
When i ring just get same ancer every time blaiming my equiptment, but its the same even when using just the hub. Glad im leaving i get cityfibre installed next week and my virgin gets disconnected in aprill.
Unfortunately that's the first red flag when it comes to any business. It's called giving you the run around.
The longer they do it, the longer they retain your contract value, and ultimately your money. It's frustrating, but at the same time Virgin are relying on such old wiring for their network that they literally can't do anything until it's all replaced by fibre cable in the next 5 years.
Unfortunately for them, BT will have installed a large amount of their full fibre network and will have lapped up all the frustrated Virgin customers with plenty of discount offers.
Glad you don't have to suffer with this any longer and theres a suitably fast replacement in your area! No more pain 🙂
This is the last 24 hours, the packet loss is at least consistently showing up on the graph now. Unusable for gaming, but I'm (stupidly) going to attempt to play the Diablo 4 beta later tonight. I expect much rage and disappointment as I die over and over again due to the uploaded packets not leaving the area and Blizzard's servers seeing me as idle.
If the engineer is unable to fix this at the weekend, the packet loss that is (variable latency is fine as long as the damn packets get to where they need to be), then the complaints dept will be getting an earful sadly. I expect to be on old slow BT FTTC by the end of next week going by other users experience on here.
My vm contract ended at the perfect time as the day my contract ended is the day cityfibre went live in my street, got a nice deel on it aswell 900Mbps up and down then in aprill i have the chance to upgrade that to 2Gb up and down. My network setup is able to go up to 10Gb so my current setup going to last me a while,on the pluss side aswell is cityfibres ONT only draws 7w under full load so i'm also going to be saving on power by changing broadband provider.
im guessing BT's ONT uses about the same power. It a shame these can't just simply be powered by the ethernet that connects into the router, saves a plug.
With BT's ONT if you receve the one with orange ethernet port thats the one with 2.5Gb ethernet port. Im not going to be using my new providers router going to be using my own orbi mesh setup with 64bit 2.2GHz quad-core processor works good with VM but will bee good to see how it copes with faster upload speeds.
