[pulli23]

I am on xl package of virgin bb, I receive around 10-15mb on average, i have never got 17 or more even in th night after traffic managing. WHY?

My speed is still quite high, yet still slightly slower web browsing. WHY?

Buffering is still quite slow. WHY?

download speed is great YAY!

Someone tell me a FREE download website please?

If you want to test your download speeds then use VM's own game site on::erm:

http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blueyondergames/demos/
Select four (or more) files (over 500mb) together and you'll get a very good indication of your actual download speed.

If you're looking for a good download site (with a whole repertoire of goodies) then try this: :D

Try taking the router out of the equation, then try some downloads from the link above, and download this speedtest Elwell (http://www.broadbandspeedtest.net/download/)
