tvcatchup.com are saying that the lag on their site is because virgin media are limiting my connection to them.
When I say it is not STM and that I am receiving the full 20mbit they say its not that, its application/server specific. Even if I was STM'd 5mbit is more than enough. I can be lagging on their site and test elsewhere and receive 20mbit fine.
If you guy's could have a look here (http://forums.tvcatchup.com/showthread.php?t=751&page=17) and look for the posts by "horrorwood" they are by me.
To be honest it seems to me that they don't have a clue, but if anyone here could help me then that would be great.
Edit: forgot to say you'll probably need to sign up to view the forum, but it is free.

Sigh, they have deleted some of the posts I made on there. I think basically proves it is their end that is the problem.
Still if someone could confirm that what they are claiming is false then that would be great.

Nevermind they have now banned me from their forums and their site. So bit of a waste of time, I think it was because I am the only guy there that wanted to challenge their claims that it was not the ISP's limiting them. If you want to read the whole story then I've posted what happened here (http://futuremark.yougamers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96978).
I'd still like to know for sure that virgin cable are not limiting certain services/servers.
