Is anyone here on Virgin Media broadband and has been getting really slow speeds since like 6pm tonight?
I'm just wondering if it's me or if it's a virgin problem. I'm on the new Fibre Optic service, have been for about 3/4 months and it's been amazing so far. I normally get about 10mbits/s(1MB or there abouts) but i'm getting speeds of only 2500kbits/s since 6pm tonight.
Anyone?
:(
Cheers,
Jamie.
Nope im getting 9.8MB atm
Damn, this is annoying as hell. I want to know what's going on.
hey mines being really slow to
I'm on Virgin and I'm fine?
It's been fine for me
I just checked speedtest.net it's gone up to 7mb/s still not on top but it's better than 2mb/s
I should have 10mb broadband but mines going really slow :(
Im getting the 100mb broadband later in the year (fiberoptic) it sounds UBER Fast.
It's gone back to normal speed now. I hope it's not a peak time thing like with the copper wireing service. That would suck major ass.

I get 200kb/s with a 10MB connection all the time :l i want to move ISP (atm im with Virgin media) but still i think its because i need a new modem, i got the old NTL one
Yeah I had that problem with the old NTL modem. I just phoned them up and they sent out a new one free of charge. I take it you aren't on the fibre optic service yet?Quote:

You should get your maximum connection speed 10mb/s
Mines been fine, although I'm on the cable service with up to 20mb.
OK. Anything ntl:250/Ambit250 or above and your fine. Still having problems then http://192.168.100.1 user root pass root post your upstream and downstream power levels. I will check them and if they're not right, call VM.
im on 20mb but i dont get very high speeds but im still on a ntl modem
Lol @ you all thinking you have a fibre optic connection.
My speed isnt slow atm.
It can be real crap sometimes.
I do have a fibre optic connection. It's not fibre optic to my house but it is to my local exchange they're planning to have every customer with fibre optic right to their houses by 2010.Quote:

That's during evening hours,m up to 1000mb during the day on the 2mbps service
Not true. They have changed it since then. It now applies from 9AM onwards
