Here's a recent download though for those inclined to know:

It's because it's a Sunday. Virgin media is always slower on a Sunday because of home user traffic.

Saying that, mine is fairly normal today. 10mb/s Virgin Media L package. Ping is decent 'cos I'm wired to router, wireless suxorz.

Considering our copper connection is only meant to be able to handle 6 meg we get what we pay for.

Potentially how much difference does it make using an ethernet cable over wireless?

Bugger all unless your net speed is over 54MB and then you can solve it by using Wireless-N

In theory yes, which is what I thought until I actually tested it.

Wireless is way less reliable compared with ethernet. Wireless cuts out randomly and the speed can change when you move your body???

Stick with ethernet it's way less hassle.

It depends how far away for your router you are I think. I am about 10 Metres aways and it's really bad.

I had wireless, I was getting about 6/7mb. I got wired and now I'm getting 9mb+ so it does make a difference.

I was also getting max speeds of about 400kb/s on Rapidshare, I can hit 1.2mb/s now..

Which backs up my point. Stick with ethernet.

Im in wireless as I have to be. If you want come to my house and try and trail a Ethernet cable 2 floors up to the loft when the router is in the kitchen. I'm on Wireless G at the moment with only 2 bars of signal, hoping to upgrade to Wireless-N which my router can handle.

I never said you didn't need the PERFECT Wireless signal, i.e. an antenna out in the open right next to the wireless source :P

Hmm. I might as well try it, see if it helps.

You're getting around 6meg. (What are you paying for?)

Hmm, my pings of 9ms wired are awesome though. Though if they don't game, alls cool.

Downstream/Upstream Attenulation and Power Levels are wonky. Tell Virgin by phone or free on Newsgroups (they're better as you get 2nd tier support) and they'll send an engineer

Its not 100% of the time though. Sometimes it just randomly slows down and does this, other times its wayyyyyy better. I do have 3 ppl on just my connection but even then its fast though slows down randomly

grrrrrrrr.

My whole family shares our internet connection between our laptops, desktops, consoles, network devices etc etc and it doesn't slow it down at all so three users should easily cope on a line :P
