Virgin Media in BN1

[SeagullTim]

For over a week my internet has been extremely slow. I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with Virgin in the BN1 area.

This is a speed test, which should be around the 9/ 10 mb mark.

I am in central Brighton and ours goes slow over Bank Holidays, but when I am working free lance on a working day its super fast.

An engineer from Virgin told me its just loads of people on line with high usage, watching downloading videos, so overloads the local capacity.

Sounded pheasble and fits the non scientifc theory.

Same test over here

Indeed. What on earth is ping anyway..

Frank above has a massive ping

 

[The Wizard]

Frank above has a massive ping

He ought to look after it and treat it well then, just in case his ping decides to drop off one day.

Then it would become a pong

Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for packets sent from the local host to a destination computer, including the local host's own interfaces.

Occasionally Packet InterNet Gopher is suggested as a backronym, but the original author of Ping says that it is based on the sound of a sonar return.[1][2]

Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host and waits for an ICMP response, sometimes casually called a pong. In the process it measures the round-trip time[2] and records any packet loss. The results of the test are printed in form of a statistical summary of the response packets received, including the minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and sometimes the standard deviation of the mean.

The use of the ping utility is usually described as pinging a host computer. Ping has various command line options depending on the host operating system that enable special operational modes, such as to specify the packet size used as the probe, automatic repeated operation for sending a specified count of probes, time stamping options, or to perform a ping flood. Flood pinging may be abused as a simple form of denial-of-service attack, in which the attacker overwhelms the victim with ICMP echo request packet

In laymans terms is it realy just an IT way of avoiding the obvious penis extension references. Or is it true what they say about a mans Ping up in Woodingdean.

Its amazing the different speeds across town just on these tests.

How olds your modem?

Mine went to crawling pace last year, and I had a 4 or 5 year modem, they sent me a new one, and its went straight back to full speed.

May be worth checking out

I am currently on an Oxford Tube coach, in the middle of no where, and I have a better connection than you I would suggest getting back in touch with Virgin.

My ping is MAMMOTH though.
