since coming home today at 8pm i have had really terrible net, thought it was just me but then once the family got home turns out everyone has it so i can only assume it is virgin that has got something wrong with it.

just did a speed check, download is okish at 1600kbps, slower then normal but would expect it to be slower, upload is only 30 though, and ping is really terrible at 350ms.

so anyone else got the same problem?

edit: just did another sped check, download worse now at 900, upalod 15, and pingbetter at 32, weird how annoying it becomes having to wait 15 seconds for a page to load.

are you exceeding the 300mb limit between 4pm and midnight?

I came home at 4:30pm (Stockport area) to find my latency at around the 300-600 mark. I think they have added some more customers to the already rammed network.

Downloading seems to be ok on average, its when you get into games. Laggy as hell for me since going to VM.

People seem to rate it on their uber 2.1mb download speeds, fair enough if you actually have loads of GB's to download with it.

Just seems to suck with gaming in my experience.

getting around 2.1mb /sec.
