virgin either have routing problems or are blocking rapidshare...

Cant access Rapidshare. Yet when I SSH tunnel to my dedi and then try Rapidshare its alive. I know its not a routing issue since i can tracert and finish. I think virgin are blocking all port 80 requests to rapidshare as ive just got my mate to try and its the same. Can i demand money off my next bill or get a free upgrade ? Since there clearly not offering me a full internet service.

Three weeks here in Derby something has been going off with Virgin Media. Now they say it is a problem with the UBR here but I don't buy that. Most of the trouble seems to be with websites that will sap VM's bandwidth.

I reckon they were experimenting with some more traffic shaping or such like and cocked it up.

I voted with my feet and when I get back from holiday I'm having BE internet installed and dumping all my Virgin services - Phone, TV and BB. Had enough of their crappy traffic management and constant V+ box crashes and getting told the Internet problems are caused by me using Macs!

yep its been the same for me but now RS this is BS ;p i live near alfreton and ive had troubles with a oversubed ubr before they do eventually fix if you ring a lot.

put rs27. before your links when downloading, used to work when I was on some ISP that seemed to randomly filter the site

forgot about that trick working now

they must be port blocking then as its ok for me too using 443 HTTPS

like i said, it looks like there blocking all port 80 traffic to and from rapidshare.com

Charming... It was a perfectly valid post considering what brummie said.

we had already established that rapidshare was alive.
