Super Slow Internet Speeds

[Firehorse]

Have any of you been noticing your internet going slower over the past few days? On Thursday the internet was unbarable for me (check my sig pic)

Is it just stupid Virgin or is it happening to all ISP's? I'm currently going on around 120kbps and it's just unbarable.

Do you agree that ISP's are taking the up to statement too far?

lol@you sig.
Im getting like 2k on upload and download and Im meant to be getting 8mb

[jesus]

my speedtest is slow anyway (just under 1000 download) but my internet is super fast

You do realise its your computer set up that normally lets you down?
and your line..

they say they can give you 8 meg speeds, if you line can handle it.

All lines around my area can take upto 9 meg, so im on 8 meg getting the most of it,

my speeds are fine,

It's got nothing to do with that. when we complaned to them about it they gave us 6mb speed even at peak times. Just now it's worse than it was before. It's got nothing to do with my computer setup.

It's not likely that there would be a setting on a home computer to control internet speeds.

Well what do you think? I wasn't asking advice, I was seeing if it was only me or other people. Of course i've contacted virgin, months ago! They made my broadband faster for a little while and now it's three times worse than before.
