First time lag in games day after downloading lots

tom91x91 · 26 Oct 2010 at 01:39

Ive never had lag problems in games, but today i downloaded about 20gb of stuff on virgin media 4mb, my internet was barely working near the end of it but sped up again after midnight, do VM have limits on daily downloads? Is it just throttled for a bit because of downloading so much? Im having problems in every game even though its usually fine. (nothing downloading now)

Thanks.

Are you on cable as there isn't a 4mb package?

ADSL it is. Traffic management and lack of capacity = poor experience.
