I had UK Online's "up to 8 meg" connection and always got 4.5meg for £24 a month. I switched to Virgin's 20meg service two weeks ago and never get above 6meg. Most of the time it's 4meg for £37 a month.
I have spent numerous 25p a minute calls talking to someone in India reading from a script. My modem is fine and so is my connection according to them. But apart from that information they are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
I am connected using a Belkin G+ MIMO Router and it's not that as I connected the computer directly and it dropped to 2meg.
I have been using the Blueyonder games demo site for my speed tests.
Does anyone have any ideas before I cancel Virgin and go back to UK Online?
Thanks!
e2a I have tried turning off the firewall, and I am running Vista.
