That's a whole different can of worms, when the cable gets contention it tends to be much much worse than DSL.  But when it works well, its pretty awesome.

this is correct, I had Virgin for 18 months in a shared house of 10! circa 2015 and got 106Mbps 24,7 over LAN, so was VERY LUCKY, but I've seen many customers suffer from Virgin Congestion and it's not only bad, but it won't get fixed until almost the whole street of Virgin customers have complained!!! as it's a "shared bandwidth" type of setup where each postcode has its own node which may be 1000Mbps or 10,000Mbps shared between a street, if all started to download at the same time you ain't gonna get your speed. they rely on people downloading at different times so that overall you get good speed - even though my experience was pleasant, I WOULD NOT take out a contract with them from experiences in the past with the sheer amount of customers i worked for complaining of Virgin speeds.

as for Interleaving and Fastpath - I used to get FASTPATH for 9 months getting 80/20 until i had that "MISHAP" from midnight till 4am when i lost 10Mb+ speed and been the same since 3 years ago... I'm getting less than 1 errored second per hour and zero CRC's - yet, FP won't be enabled on my Plusnet connection by DLM....it also had a problem recently where my IP was static when it should of been dynamic, going downhill fast in my book PlusNet

Gone straight back to interleaved. I can't see anything obviously wrong with the line, although DSLStats is showing a fairly constant 50-60 ES/hour for yesterday. I had a feeling that DLM would stick interleaving back on in the early hours, so pre-emptively placed an order with Virgin. Hopefully the network has improved since I was last with them, although have 14 days to find out. Can always use this one as a backup connection until the contract runs out.

50-60ES/hour is DLM territory, am surprised you were moved back to fast path in the first place.  Ideally a line shouldnt be looping between the two.

Usually to get back to fast path the FEC rate has to be very low which would equate to a much lower ES than 50 an hour.

I'm getting less than 1 errored second per hour and zero CRC's - yet, FP won't be enabled on my Plusnet connection by DLM....it also had a problem recently where my IP was static when it should of been dynamic, going downhill fast in my book PlusNet

I think when I was last on cable the bandwidth ratios were much worse then that.  Carl has explained in the past node sizes are not consistent from area to area, due to different companies doing the original cable rollouts.  In my city the node sizes are very large, and docsis bandwidth pools were not that large when I had cable, I think was more like a few hundred mbit shared between a dozen or so streets.

I do agree when cable isnt congested it works very well.  There is areas which are low on subscribers, and as a result the capacity is over provisioned (for VM standards) and they get great performance, then areas like mine where almost everyone has VM and it was originally built with massive node sizes.

The people I know still on cable in my city do still have congestion, but because the rated speeds are so high now along side the docsis shared pools of bandwidth, it no longer drops as low as a couple of mbit, like when I was on there, friend of mine on the 350mbit service usually gets around 20-100mbit in the evenings depending on how bad it is that given day.

I expect in cityfibre areas it has probably improved and it wouldnt surprise me if VM are telling those customers they completed a network upgrade. :D

Even with interleave it looks a pretty tidy line to me. Can’t see how much improvement you would notice on FP unless your a gamer of course.

It's only seemed to have changed in the last few weeks. Could normally go months being on fast path. Whether it's down to local noise, I'm not sure. Included a screenshot of the average error rates from DSLStats (unfortunately only got 4 days worth).

Sadly it happens, I am now interleaved probably for the foreseeable future when previously I was fast path for several years (except very short spells of interleaving once every 2 years or so).

The DSL tech is vulnerable to noise, as well as crosstalk (when no vectoring), so errors appearing out of nowhere isnt unheard off.

There's no direct correlation between the number of ES a line receives and the number of FEC the same line may receive.

I had similar ES numbers to Jon21 but over 100 times more FEC.

Some types of interference cause no ES at all but cause 100,000+ FEC per min (Homeplugs do this for example).

It could be that you get a lot of FECs but they are all corrected, either by Reed-Solomon CRCs, poss correction helped by interleave, or corrected by L2 retransmission (ie G.INP). If they’re corrected, then they don’t turn into "CRC" count events or ES.

FECs are only potential trouble. I think Kitz has written something about this.

Virgin Media kit has been delivered. Interesting that the connections on the cable are now push fit. Cable is also quite a bit thinner than the old coax. Won’t have time to activate it until later tonight.

Well the BQM doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, looks horrendous (ignoring the 2 red blocks, which was me). Yet weirdly getting the full speeds that I've gone for. Going off topic though.



Edit: Have cancelled under the cooling off period. Looks almost exactly like when I was last with Virgin, congested. Surprisingly easy to do though, no fuss.

I had similar ES numbers to Jon21 but over 100 times more FEC.

Some types of interference cause no ES at all but cause 100,000+ FEC per min (Homeplugs do this for example).

You made other posts, that said otherwise?

There would naturally be a correlation, FEC are fixed CRC, the more CRC, the more ES, which means more FEC on an interleaved line.

Now of course you can have situations where you have batches of CRC on low numbers of ES, typical in noise bursts, that would give a high CRC to ES ratio and also high FEC to ES ratio, maybe thats what you mean, but regardless, there seems to be no counter for fixed errored seconds counter, so given it doesnt exist how would DLM determine a means of moving an interleaved line back to fast path?  I dont think it just uses CRC/ES as I have seen instances where there is no ES but moderate levels of FEC, then a higher noise margin is applied, the levels of FEC go down, then DLM acts to switch it back to fast path.

On your homeplugs example, are you saying you seen them cause FEC on an interleaved line but when that "same" line is on fast path they generate no CRC? Or rather they cause no CRC on interleaved lines, there is a clear difference between the two.  Because I can tell you I have seen homeplugs most definitely cause huge amounts of CRC, and then the line becomes interleaved and they then cause FEC instead.

Line has had interleaving put on again. The line, for whatever reason, obviously can't do fastpath at the sync speed it achieves whilst on it, so would it be worth capping the line at roughly the sync rate that I get when interleaved? Sure I've seen this mentioned before. If so, should I do that now or if/when it goes back to fastpath?

Do it now and the line won't resync at the higher speed when Interleaving is removed.
The lower the the sync on your line = the lower the ES the line generates.

I had to call my sync to maintain fastpath. It would always revert to interleaved within a few days of full sync on fastpath. It works very well.

I got the idea from the sticky in the FTTC section. The credit goes to les-70.
