anyone :S
sorry but i dont understand what you have type can u please rephrase it and maybe i/someone can help
At peak times they get 310kbps, at non-peak times they get 1mbps.
Sounds like there is a congestion problem in your area i'm afraid, unless someone else could diagnose...

cable.
From what i can gather Warrington through to blackpool at non peak times are getting dble there normal speeds.Maybe this is testing for the rollout of xl going to 20mb and L going to 10mb etc.....
I myself am on 10mb and off peak times i am also downloading at double speed of around 2100kbs and at peak times it drops back down.
Just my theory ;)

yea but my normal speed is 480k since its 4mb broadband. and the max is at 320kb at 3pm to 9pm for some reason
480k to 320k is not exactly a big drop during peak hours, you just have to realise that far more people use the internet during those hours, kids getting home from school, adults from work and so-on, so it will slow down somewhat due to increased loads. Some people suffer far worse speed drops than yours.

kb or kB?
4mbps Broadband = (roughly) 500 kBps
480 kBps dropping to 320 kBps...
... or 480 kBps dropping to 320 kbps?

Shady, How can you get 10Mb in the morning when you only have a 4Mb connection ? did you mean to say you get the full 4Mb in the morning ?

Really helpfull reply there twinkle, if you can't help don't be part of the problem by posting your own virgin rant.
i live in the northwest not far from warrington and my 2mb connection has been stable all this week.
ring up virgin media technicians and try and find out if its congested UBR or your cable modem.
i used to get really slow internet and high latency issues at all times, i couldnt do anything apart from sit and wait...last wednesday it all got fixed and i get max download and low ping at all times.....
