VM Cable service

I dont want to p**s anyone off but my vm cable service speed seems to get better and better.
Have a look

Better than what ? (guess your previous speeds).

You DL is over 20meg but your upload is low, ideally it would be 768Kb/Sec (96KB/Sec).

Speedtests are pretty inaccurate, better grabing a large file(s) from a good site and measuring average.

i was uploading a file at the time hence the slightly lower upstream

Well thats not a ideal time to do a speedtest is it. ?

I am not happy with their service at all. Why are they traffic shaping at 9.30 in the morning!! I thought it was only an evening thing.

They don't traffic shape mate. It's traffic management, which is nothing like shaping.

And if you're in London I don't think you'll be part of their STM trial - so you can be STM'ed betweek 4:00pm and 9:00pm - even on the trial it starts at 10:00am not 9:30.

brilliant 20 meg cable is
shall have to do a speedtest

Great 9-14ms pings too

Edit: huh:S bit of an impossible upstream lol

when i had my previous isp (ADSL based) my pings were slighty tuna

Additional: why do you have an enta speed test on your signiture?

oops forgot to get rid of that. Used to be with adsl24 and pings were sub 20's majority of the time and with vm cable bounces between 20-50.
