What are virgin media doing???

[Robert]

We had Telewest, it was pretty good, nice download speeds 1.2Mb/sec off newsgroups although it did fluctuate a little. Since ther merger/rebranding and Telewest became Virgin our 10Mbit service got slower and slower and we would get less than 100Kb/sec download speeds at peek time.

I've found that the speedtest results were reasonably reliable, this is what we used to get when Telewest was working nicely:



This is what we would get at peek (along with very slow browsing):



Finally this is what we get now from BT ADSL (peek time last night):



We've got BT and VM at the moment, we're keeping the BT - We'd rather have reasonably quick net all the time rather than really fast net ocassionally thats painfully slow at peek time.

Unless you've not had full speed from gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk I would NEVER believe speedtest.

For some reason I'm getting terrible browsing speeds and if I right click and download anything with Download Them All plugin but my newsreader speeds are aroung 480 on my 4 meg connection
