Going to mention this to the technician on Monday.
Most of the day the internet is ok, usually around 53Mb! And then boom...5Mb. Pathetic

Virgin Media Discussion Thread

Ping and download seem way off to me:
Pings can vary as well as speeds, that's why I told him to test by other means.
**** you VM.
Just moved flat (in the same building)
virgin media replaced my modem and dlink router with a VM branded netgear thing all in one unit.
Am having issues with this especially when playing BF3 atm anyone else had problem with these devices? is there a firmware update for them or anything i can try?
I've had it 3 days and had to reboot it twice already.

Mine has been terrible for about 6 weeks here, BH15 area, playing bf3 is impossible for me between 3pm and 10 at night, major packet loss. Anyway thursday was the straw that broke the camels back, I phoned up customer services (billing) and winged at them like mad spoke to a "manager" and told her that on their website they say

I only had £5 knocked off. The guy said he couldn't take more off. Was pretty annoyed. But then again, it hasn't been 6 weeks of bad net. For 6 weeks, I'd be demanding the whole month and a half for free mate!

Cable between the box on the street and my flat is getting replaced on the 7th Dec.
Dont be glum. That's a good thing.

this is mine currently.
Through powerline adapters and with Kaspersky on:
with Kaspersky off:
as you can see Kaspersky affects my ping but only slightly

It's the wait, my internet is horrific at the moment in peak hours. I hope it fixes the issue.
Soldato
ah yes. i read 7th and assumed Nov. waiting till Dec would be a pain. you getting any compo for the poor internet?
I'll call up at some point and try and get something from them.
Still getting 50 meg for now, it's just the dropped packets I can't deal with, it makes gaming impossible.

Shocking will be cancelling when i can and going to be* Been like this for weeks.
Just rang VM up. Ran a ping test there end and reckon there is no problem with the connection said it must be a virus on my computer
I said ok then lets run the test in safe mode then to which he agreed. Same test still massive ping and out of 4 packets sent on the test 1 is lost.
He said hes passing it over to networks but cant see a problem anywhere. They said cant be a big ping if im still getting 30mb service.
They are fraudsters and offer no compensation as they RECKON the service is 100%.
Dont go with VM it used to be good when it was blueyonder
