Anyone else Suffering from slow Virgin BB speeds?

photoshop · 8 May 2008 at 22:31

Ussually around this time of the evening, my virgin 4mb broadband connection goes into slow motion mode and i'd be lucky to get a download over 115kb/s. During the day i get around 450mb/s.

Anyone else noticed this / had this?

I have DNS issues.

I have to Clear my DNS Cache to get this forum to load at times today (happens here a lot but not the OCUK site).

I could use OpenDNS if It was bad enough.
