Virgin Media problems in Gateshead...

[Punt]

I'm only on the expensive 2mb plan but my downloads are really, really poor from any source.

If I'm lucky I get 100k but usually about 60k. Used to be and should be around 240k.

Dunno if it all this rain causing problems, there's nothing mentioned on the service status page for my area.

Anyone else having issues?

Also, seriously considering Sky Broadband, mainly for the cost. I live about 1.5 Miles (as the crow flies) from the exchange. I this too far for a good connection?

Cheers!

Just been on to VM about this speed issue.

I've been told that I am being limited by traffic management.

So for all those who think it's only the 10/20mb that are affected, I'm on 2mb!!

Just on hold at the mo with vm to cancel my account with the thieving gits!
