i don't download 400GB in a month. Throttling kicks in even if I download a few GB. I've never been able to work it out.

i'm convinced my Belkin n+ router is a major part of the problem, but i'm have lots of problems with virgin aswell.
But currently being on the 20meg and thinking of moving up, I would love to know what sort of actual speeds you get on the 50meg line at what times of day?![]()
Wow that really puts me off VM, after one simple indy download off steam and im throttled![]()
The problem is ABSOLUTLY the router.
I used to own one of those Belkins and they are shocking once you do anything but look at web pages.
Essentialy they just cant deal with the ammount of connections required and just fall over.
As Azuse05 has said previously, you want either an Asus RT-N16 or a Netgear WNR3500L and put DD-WRT or Tomato custom firmware on there.
Either of those combinations will handle anything you could throw at it and then some.
i get the full speed all the time.
i guess you meant "same as everyone else" ?100meg... as everyone else
lol

Not necessarily... you can't always get the full speed advertised, for various reasons (busy times, signal loss in the final copper section to the home, etc).
But nvm... going OT, don't want to hijack the thread.
