Thankyou Virgin Media, for the 4th time this year you have trashed my live DJ stream to 100's of listeners.
I only play once a week for 2 hours, and stream a very lightweight 128kbps, but this is obviously too much for your decrepid systems to handle, as for the 4th time since NYE I am unable to stream. The stream was fine for 80mins or so then suddenly listeners complaining of buffering, and then I dropped off the server completely. I do a speedtest and lo & behold I am getting 4MB down from my 20MB service, and the upload is pathetic too, with high pings to all the speedtest sites I checked.
I am nowhere near the fair usage limits, and even if I was Im supposed to get 2MB upload, so after throttling surely 128kbps is still ok.
My net has been so unstable for the past few weeks, I am completely at my wits end with the service. Phoning up CS costs me a fortune as I dont have a home phone, only mobile, and even when I do phone up I get the same scripted rubbish and "it must be a virus on your pc etc" because there are no problems in your area ............
Anyone else in LN2 Lincoln with crappy speeds ?
