From Aquiss:

Anti Packet Loss System

In order to prevent packet loss and high latency during the gaming experience, we have deployed a system that we call Anti-Loss Tool (ALT) that monitors all broadband capacity to ensure that no part of the network is being saturated.

If the monitoring systems determine that a part of the broadband network is about to become overloaded, a sample average of usage over the last five minutes from that part of the network is used to decide how to control packet loss; within a short period of time this measure is deployed.

All ISP networks are subject to an occasional slowdown, but the skilful art of balance loading and capacity upgrades can help to control this. The Aquiss core network is consistently upgraded, often ahead of requirements, that ensures only the finest gaming experience.

it was this that sold me to this supposed "Gaming Service":p

Luckily I only do 1 month contracts so dont mind getting into a year contract with virgin as I lubs cable! I was always holding out for it hence the 1 month contracts!:D
 
I'd actually be tempted to upgrade to 50 meg if they could guarantee me not to be on a over utilised ubr.

Right now I seem to be sharing with the majority of p2p sharing students grrrr.

They are great when they do work though and no download limits which is nice.

Well that's if you count the download limits between 4-12.
