May also be worth Virgin users doing a trace route to your site to see where the traffic is going.

trace route seems fine too :confused:

its just so annoying.
 
That is strange. The traceroute looks fine, have you spoken to your host? I'm pretty sure there isn't anything they can do as it appears to be an ISP problem as you've already suggested.

Have these speed issues been happening for long?
 
Yes i contacted my host before i knew it was only virgin media customers having the problem. they said no problems have been reported, server load is low and tracert seems fine (which i believe because everyone on other isp's are maxing connections)

As for how long its been happening for...well i have not used it much since beginning of January (when i used to get 1.1-1.5MB/s quite easily.)

I only noticed it on Thursday or Friday night.

I am just worried that this is going to be the norm, not sure if your familiar with VM tech support but i expect they will get me to reboot modem 5 times, blame my router, get me to format my pc then blame the host.
 
Yeah definitely something odd going on with Virgin there. I'm in Basingstoke on 20mbit cable and I've just been downloading stuff elsewhere at 2400KB/sec yet that file downloads at 48KB/sec.

I tried the same file from a 2.5mbit Zen ADSL connection and it maxes that out at 295KB/sec.
 
45KB/s, Pipex 8Mbps, Midlands. Slowest I have got in ages tbh. Usually download at 600 KB/s plus when downloading normally

:S... very strange then, i thought it was only VM customers...

Any chance you could run a trace route for me.

I have found someone else having the same problem as me on the vm support newsgroup using the same host too... at least i know its not just me :(
