slow upload speeds
In any country wanting to support digital industries, the upload speed would be the same as download. 8 years ago, Singapore had services that provided 10Gbps up- and download speeds. But Virgin is still providing a deliberately throttled upload speed. It is taking days to upload a 1TB set of files. As soon as the providers that provide a fast upload speed appear in my area, I shall be moving. Even if Virgin manages to do the same thing, I shall run away from a firm that has been deliberately making my life difficult for years.Wired v Wireless uploads
Can anyone help identify what might be causing an issue with upload speeds over a wired connection. I have the Gig1Volt service with a couple of wifi boosters running and a number of wired devices. At the hub I get 1148mbps download and 151 mbps upload. At the device (win laptop) using wireless I get 399mbps download and 107mbps upload, while wired I get 900mbps download but less than 2mbps upload. This slow upload speed obviously causes issues. Grateful for any suggestions.Help with inconsistent upload speeds - Low power levels?
I'm currently on the Gig1 service, which always gives me the full speed of approx 1000-1100Mbps download. However I'm noticing the upload speed keeps dropping to around 15-20Mbps. I'm able to obtain a 100 upload around 50% of the time. I checked my power levels and logs as per below: 3.0 Downstream channels Channel Frequency (Hz) Power (dBmV) SNR (dB) Modulation Channel ID 1 355000000 3.8 40 QAM 256 28 2 171000000 8.3 40 QAM 256 5 3 179000000 8.0 40 QAM 256 6 4 187000000 7.9 40 QAM 256 7 5 195000000 7.8 40 QAM 256 8 6 203000000 7.6 40 QAM 256 9 7 211000000 7.4 40 QAM 256 10 8 219000000 7.1 40 QAM 256 11 9 227000000 6.8 40 QAM 256 12 10 235000000 6.4 40 QAM 256 13 11 243000000 5.9 40 QAM 256 14 12 251000000 5.6 40 QAM 256 15 13 259000000 5.5 40 QAM 256 16 14 267000000 5.4 40 QAM 256 17 15 275000000 5.3 40 QAM 256 18 16 283000000 5.2 40 QAM 256 19 17 291000000 5.1 40 QAM 256 20 18 299000000 4.9 40 QAM 256 21 19 307000000 4.8 40 QAM 256 22 20 315000000 4.5 40 QAM 256 23 21 323000000 4.2 39 QAM 256 24 22 331000000 3.8 40 QAM 256 25 23 339000000 3.6 40 QAM 256 26 24 347000000 3.7 40 QAM 256 27 25 363000000 3.8 40 QAM 256 29 26 371000000 3.9 40 QAM 256 30 27 379000000 3.8 40 QAM 256 31 28 387000000 3.7 40 QAM 256 32 29 395000000 3.3 40 QAM 256 33 30 403000000 2.9 40 QAM 256 34 31 411000000 2.4 39 QAM 256 35 32 419000000 2.1 39 QAM 256 36 3.0 Downstream channels Channel Locked Status RxMER (dB) Pre RS Errors Post RS Errors 1 Locked 40 4 0 2 Locked 40 0 0 3 Locked 40 2 0 4 Locked 40 0 0 5 Locked 40 0 0 6 Locked 40 0 0 7 Locked 40 2 0 8 Locked 40 1 0 9 Locked 40 2 0 10 Locked 40 0 0 11 Locked 40 6 0 12 Locked 40 0 0 13 Locked 40 2 0 14 Locked 40 0 0 15 Locked 40 1 0 16 Locked 40 2 0 17 Locked 40 2 0 18 Locked 40 0 0 19 Locked 40 3 0 20 Locked 40 0 0 21 Locked 39 3 0 22 Locked 40 2 0 23 Locked 40 0 0 24 Locked 40 0 0 25 Locked 40 0 0 26 Locked 40 0 0 27 Locked 40 0 0 28 Locked 40 0 0 29 Locked 40 0 0 30 Locked 40 0 0 31 Locked 39 0 0 32 Locked 39 0 0 3.1 Downstream channels Channel Channel Width (MHz) FFT Type Active Subcarriers Modulation First Active Subcarrier (Hz) 159 94 4K 1840 QAM 4096 1108 3.1 Downstream channels Channel ID Locked Status RxMER (dB) PLC Power (dBmV) Corrected Errors Uncorrectable Errors 159 Locked 39 -3.4 122448570 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.0 Upstream channels Channel Frequency (Hz) Power (dBmV) Symbol Rate (ksps) Modulation Channel ID 0 49600000 40.3 5120 QAM 64 1 1 43100000 39.8 5120 QAM 64 2 2 36600000 38.8 5120 QAM 64 3 3 30100000 38.3 5120 QAM 64 4 4 23600000 38.5 5120 QAM 64 5 3.0 Upstream channels Channel Channel Type T1 Timeouts T2 Timeouts T3 Timeouts T4 Timeouts 0 ATDMA 0 0 0 0 1 ATDMA 0 0 0 0 2 ATDMA 0 0 0 0 3 ATDMA 0 0 0 0 4 ATDMA 0 0 4 0 3.1 Upstream channels Channel Channel Width (MHz) Power (dBmV) FFT Type Modulation 6 10 34.5 2K QAM 256 3.1 Upstream channels Channel Channel Type Active Subcarriers First Active Subcarrier (Hz) T3 Timeouts T4 Timeouts 6 OFDMA 200 74000000 0 0 I'm also getting a lot of these warnings in my hub logs. DBC-REQ Mismatch Between Calculated Value for P1.6hi Compared to CCAP Provided Value;CM US profile assignment change. US Chan ID: 6; Previous Profile: 12 13; New Profile: 11 13.;CM US profile assignment change. US Chan ID: 6; Previous Profile: 11 13; New Profile: 12 13.;CM These happen about every 2-3 hours, and I believe they might be related to the issue. Is the US profile referring to upstream? Also I'm noticing the power levels for my upstream generally drops by about 1dBmV and goes back up again to the tables above. I'm particularly concerned at the DOCSIS 3.1 Upstream channel power being at 34.5, dropping to 33.5 during the day. Does that sound a bit low? I did have an engineer to check out the inconstant upload, but it was showing 100Mbps at the time of their arrival. Typical! They checked the connections and while they found some dirt in the outside junction box, everything else was fine. We did a hub factory reset and everything too, but I am not sure if they checked the power levels. I've already booked another visit as the issue is not resolved. Can someone confirm whether these power levels are ok, and if these logs could be related? I'm certain it's not an internal network issue, as the problem exists on both LAN and WiFi, and since my download is always 1000+, my connections are solid.Wifi and upload nightmare issues.
Across all our devices for the last 4 months wifi connected devices are intermittently not loading, they just drop off to mobile data or say connected no Internet. We are on the gig bundle. When doing Sam knows tests all looks fine but it's not. The engineers even experienced it when here. When doing speed test downloads speeds are fine but errors out on upload. Had 3 engineer visits, a new hub a new booster, One engineer said he found a ghost network. Even when all hubs etc where off still showing the network. It's driving us crazy, wifi tvs connect and seconds later lose the network again. As do all mobile devices, laptops etc... Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciatedFaster Upload speed
Hi all My contract is coming up to finish shortly and I'm looking to get symmetrical speeds, How do I find out if this is available to me? If its not available then ill need to move away from Virgin considering I could pay the same to another company and get the symmetrical speeds I desire. Cheers RyanPlayStation 5 Upload Speed Very Slow
I recently purchased a PlayStation Portal (streaming handheld) and have not been able to use it because my PS5 console upload speed is too slow to maintain a connection. My Virgin Media hub is in modem mode, connected to an Asus GT-AX6000 router. A speed test completed on the Asus gives an average of 90 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload. This is more than enough to stream up to the web and then down to the Portal. On my PlayStation console the speed test shows 90 Mbps download but only 3 Mbps second upload. It is this very slow upload that is causing my problem. Sony recommends 5 Mbps minimum to connect to the Portal, and 15 Mbps upload for the best connection. I am testing this with no other network traffic competing for the bandwidth. My PS5 is connected via Ethernet. I have tried connecting the PS5 direct to the modem (no GT-AX6000) and it doesn’t help. With the GT-AX6000 connected I have also tried prioritising the PS5 and Portal traffic in QoS but this hasn’t helped. I’ve rebooted devices and confirmed they are all running latest firmware. I have read several other posts saying PS5 upload speed is very slow (<5 Mbps) despite the connection being a lot faster, but I can’t figure out what is causing mine to run so slowly. Any help would be appreciated thanks!Upload speed capped at 50 Mbps
Hello, I have a 1 Gbps download speed but my uplaod speed is capped at 50 Mbps. I called customer service and they said that it should be around the 400 amd they don't know what the issue is. They said that they will send a technitian but not for another 3 weeks. Is there anything that can be done from my side for this to be fixed? Anyone else has the same issue?Symmetric speed saga
I was really excited to see symmetric speed available in my area (a XGSPON area) when it was first launched by VM. I requested it 5 different attempts via online chat with lots of different answers ranging from 'It's not available' to 'it will cost an extra £26/month'. After the 4th attempt I opened a complaint. The complaint responded saying I could have 1Gb + symmetric for a total of £45/month and asked me to reply - I did. Then today I get a phone call from a customer service person who rescinded the £45/month offer and said "It's not available, it's only available to 2k customers as a trial"... even though I told him if i go on the site and attempt to sign up as a new customer I have the option to select it, and none of the statements from VM or on ISP Review state it's a trial. He couldn't answer and just seemed keen to close my complaint. I said I was not happy with the non-explanation given, and then 5 mins later I get an email saying he's closed my complaint - even though I said i wasn't satisfied that the complaint had been dealt with. I've since reopened the complaint and am hoping it can get sorted by someone who knows what they're doing. My original install of VM was abysmal and resulted in a hefty charge to VM - I thought it'd be much easier than this to try and pay VM more money by getting an upgrade. The fact I've had to open a complaint to try and pay VM more money is ludicrous.
