Post your TBQM.

I know this wasn't aimed at me, but this would have been in the week before I moved from Bristol:

The peaks would have been when I was gaming / streaming or downloading.

Hi there,

Also, take a look at my Broadband Quality Monitor graph:

What a useless mess!

If you are still in the minimum contract term call retentions (150 thinking of leaving) and ask to be downgraded to 10Mbps because I doubt you'll be getting any better a lot of the time and at least it's cheaper.

If you aren't in minimum contract and you have any acceptable ADSL option open to you - same number but tell them to put their cable where the sun don't shine.

Mine was bad (but not that bad) so I downgraded. They actually did resegment my node but it was hardly any better after and I've been told that's that unless it gets worse.

If you wait they may upgrade your local network eventually but don't bank on it being done any time soon.

In reply to a post by Zadeks:

Link doesn't work.

Link worked, image was corrupted....... fixed now.

Jesus, pete_thomson! That 50mb in Bristol is obscene! I guess the sales person in your area was on long leave?

I was really lucky in my area as a quick wifi scan showed mostly Sky routers, nothing obviously VM.

Please bear in mine that the WiFi on the inappropriately named Superhub is so dire you often can't even pick the wretched things up on your own property. When I had one if I was above 10m from it the signal from an AP across the road was stronger.

Fine here, just tested a few mins ago. Always had good quality with VM much better than BT, no complaints at all.
