Turkish Grand Prix 2011, Istanbul Park - Race 4/19

Have a problem, internets been down since Saturday, was meant to be fixed Sunday, then Monday, then yesterday now they aren't even giving an estimate, so no thread until or if it's fixed.
 
Virgin

Usually really good, but this time it sucks.
There's going to be a complaint letter, they haven't even offered me a discount,but what annoys me more, is even though they know there's a wide spread fault, it's not showing on their status site,
 
Yeah when they first installed it, they plugged the cables in the wrong way round. That was 18months ago and since then this has been about the third outage (well forth if you include landlord aciedently cutting the cable), but usually it's an hour to one day.

I actually like virgin 50mb advertised and I get 50mb, it just seems the infrastructure or perhaps it's just finer optics in general are more prone to outages.

Also adsl I would get about 3mb, which would suck.
 
Virgin doesn't have limits on 50mb, So that's not an issue.

Bt is the only other fibber optics provider ATM. But it's darn expensive to install and as such is in even more limited places than virgin.

Would love to know if fiber optics is more prone to complete failure, where adsl seems to be more resilient and just drop in speed. Or if it's just virgin.

Edit - actually is a bit of limit for file sharing, but I don't use such systems

At peak times we also slow down the speed of file sharing traffic – that's services like Limewire, Gnutella, BitTorrent and Newsgroup (Usenet) traffic. You will, of course, still be able to use these services, but downloads and uploads will take longer during these peak periods.

10GB limit between 10am and 3pm
5GB limit between 4pm and 9pm

So not that restrictive.
