The TPU UK Clubhouse

Double post, new day.

EVGA contacted me, 74% ASIC Kingpin en route.....

 

[Bo$$]

Anyone using Virgin Media? How are your pings? I am thinking of switching....

 

[Finners]

Mine are good, had a dodgy spell for a couple of months two or so years ago but since then its been rock solid.

I'll do a few pingtest tonight (if I remember) about 8pm so its nice and busy and post them up here.

Can be on tonight if you are, I've got work in the morning so won't be out.

My mother in law is up so she'll be out till about 8 or 9pm with Julie. I'll be up for some BF4 between 7 and 9pm. Remind me to tell you about the horrendous gunking up in my gpu- reservoir tubing!

Pingtest has fewer servers than the last time I used it. Is there any other good sites to test line stability instead of just Bandwidth

Is it consistent throughout the day?

It is at weekends, can't say for sure if it is during the week because I'm always at work

I may have just got a house down there and the fact I could see 5 virgin media wi-fi networks inside of the house makes me wonder if it might be oversubscribed you see

Ahhh I see, I actually live in a smaller town outside of Portsmouth and most of my neighbours are elderly and doubt they are hammering their connections although pretty much everyone in the street is on Virgin.

 

[Bo$$]

I'm considering it still, 100mb package would do nicely!
my street is small and nobody in my building has it!

is there any sharp increase in ping if someone downloads something?

Got a spare hour, partner is getting changed before we go out for a meal and attempt to avoid all the men in drag around Brighton tonight.

Somebody dropped an article regarding ISPs and Virgin are the only provider that gives its customers their full "up to" speeds around 98% of the time. Every other provider was closer to providing the speeds they claimed only around 10-20% of the time. I'm not on Virgin, but would be if they ever ran a cable down our road.

on VDSL you pretty much get the full speed all the time

Just having some problems which sky aren't fixing and since the VM cab is empty i don't see why i should stay, for the same price i can go from 40MB to 100MB

Guten Tag. I was born and live in the United States. But I am of mostly German and Swedish ancestry.

This is Britain sir, please link something to our grand country, such as perhaps one's grandfather may have had a clumsy fumble with a British lady during WW2

 

[Tatty_Two]

I sniff illegal clubhouse aliens again.........

I might even know that fumbling WW2 Grandad

Do virgin still traffic shape at peak times? My brother had them before he moved into his new gaff and got BT (facepalm), he wanted fiber but their house is a new building and their street won't have fiber for awhile yet.

I just picked a random server closest to me in Glasgow. For some reason it thinks my ip located in london, where as if i look up whatismyip.com i get Sheffield which makes sense as plus net is my provider.

Plus net service is supposed to be up to 38Mb/s but it wasn't that when i signed up like a year ago, think it was either 30 or 35Mb/s.

Assuming you're not on a capped contract, they very rarely resort to it. Friend of mine is with Virgin, and his older brother is relatively high up in Virgin. From what I'm aware every ISP caps at peak times. They just don't mess with torrents any more.

I get similar although i think my Ping is a little better

Virgin only have an upload limit, if you exceed 1.2gb in an hour in peak times you get throttled by 50% or something...
Torrents are definitely shaped but it doesn't really matter does it? if you are getting even 6MB/S on torrents i can't be too unhappy with that

Apparently for downloads Virgin doesn't throttle, although your SOL with peer to peer with them but that's like most ISP.

Pretty sure that was a reactionary Clubhouse created by 'the mailman.'

On happier a happier note (and almost related), 980ti Kingpin should arrive tomorrow and the slightly ill fitting but adequate Bitspower waterblock should arrive from the States next week. It should all go together like this:

(and yes - KPE really is meant for LN2, but hopefully I'll run at 1500Mhz+ without any hassle. Though I almost don't care...)
