looks pretty normal if you live in an area with significant overutilisation, sure 🙂

edit; sorry, that was a bit flippant 😛

it looks like you have a very typical example of overutilisation - nice and clean during the night, and dreaful during the day - an ideal BQM would look like the flat line you have between midnight and 7am across the whole 24 hour period..

you have a couple of options;

1. put up with it and hope that enough of the local VM customer population get annoyed and seek other providers OR virgin actually provision additional capacity in your area or

2. Seek an alternate provider.

It's worth calling the fault into VM and getting a fault reference for the issue, they will give you a date by which they expect it to be resolved - the date will likely be in the near future, and you might think you can hold out until then.. but as the date approaches, you'll get an update explaining that the date has slipped a month or two.. and so on..

A bit ! This has the look of an overutilisation issue (too many users at peak hours). I will ask VM to see if there is a known issue on your location or whether something else is causing this.

On our wavelength

I've just been investigating a similar thing - yesterday I had no upload capacity... I could see meeting but no-one could hear/see me as I had 0.6mbps upload.

Pulling my hair out, I finally came across BQM and how to configure it, and my graph looks a lot like yours, which I understand to be pretty awful and a long way to explaining why my internet has been trully awful the last 6 months.

The question is, what can we do about it?

Stick to the thread you started - you are confusing this one.
