hope your happy, im on 4mb VM, and i download all files at no more than 20kb/s, 15kb/s is the average , and because of this and all the problems i get with it, i ******* hate them so much i would cut the owners head off a crap on his bloody neck.

Have requested a new modem, got one of the old Scientific Atlanta DPX100 modems (from 2001 or so! started with 512kbit lol) but it seems to be doing the trick! I've got a Motorola Surfboard but can't use it for obvious reasons.
no not at all i used to have virgin it just has some selected newsgroupsTrox said:
a lot of the servers aren't covered amount of times i double clicked an nbz
and for it to say article does not exist and also the completion rate is absolute pants.I really only see the point of having any more than 2mb if you
get good news servers not like anything much over 2mb makes a difference in online gaming also bt upload is faster i average about 50kb sec on virgin i got around 38.
yes bt is basically news.giganews.com
I know it's mental yes and i cant quite believe what im saying either
but basically if you like downloading a lot get bt unlimted the server is speed capped at around 1.4 mbps but at least you can get what you want when you want and it's complete and there for a long time.

I think you are misreading into what I am saying, the likes of me and Headrat subscribe to Giganews and get full speeds of the Giganews european server, which is great, I wasnt refering to Virgins newsgroups.

Until the so called upgrade I was getting a solid 10Mbps connection, unfortunately since the upgrade my connection drops several times a day and on newsgroups (giganews) I cannot get over 6.5Mb no matter what time of the day.
It has got to the point that after 5+ years of excellent service I am thinking of cancelling with Virgin as I have had more downtime since the upgrade than I have in the WHOLE of my time with them before.
I will not call their tech support line at 25p a minute as I know it is not a problem with my configuration but I will probably email them and if no result then I will call and threaten to cancel.
At the moment VERY disappointed with VM
