Try Sky for much anger. Daily limit of 1.3gb which was never mentioned in the small print and even though I was told I was getting an unlimited service, they capped it at 40gb per month.
Two months to go and then it's back to BT but how I wish I could get Virgin but the nearest cable is six miles away. Hoping that Infinity will come to my area soon but given that we where among the last to get the 'up to 8mb' service, I ain't holding my breath.

To anyone having problems with speeds with virgin, dial 151 on your phone and tell the call centre that you are having problems with your speed and they can check it and reset the connection from their side. I'm also on 20meg bb with virgin and i used to not be able to even run a video on youtube without buffering, but after i called the call centre they sorted something....

"File sharing
We moderate the total volume of file sharing traffic on our network between 5pm and midnight on weekdays and midday and midnight on weekends. This policy is restricted to Peer to Peer ("P2P") applications and Newsgroups (which are commonly used to distribute large amounts of data)
This policy does not impact any applications other than Peer to Peer and Newsgroups, so things like watching iPlayer, online gaming, making calls via Skype, downloading music tracks from iTunes or streaming them from Spotify and sending an email or normal browsing are unaffected.
It's important to remember that these traffic management policies only apply at peak times when speeds are most likely to be affected by people using more than their fair share. "
I am on 50mb and i am being throttled when i use a Newsgroup should be getting around 600kbs between 17:00 and 00:00 i am lucky to get half that at best.
There is plenty of post about it on Virgin Media's own forum

There was likely a brief problem in the area causing the bad ping and bandwidth.
Call them next time instead of us
