Hello all,
:D

I am on Virgin's 50 mbit, get 50.4 on multople speed test sites but upload is 400kbit :confused:.

I have spoken to tech support in India & they say that this is normal. But is it not true that a 10:1 ratio exists?

Even if your area hasn't been upgraded to the new upload speed it should still be higher than that.

Are you trying from a wired or wireless connection?

Ethernet 1Gbit via cat5e cable.

It might be worth unplugging your Virgin modem or Superhub (not sure which you have) and plugging it back in again.

Try a speedtest again from a few different hosts in the UK - I think there are around 3 or 4 just London. If it makes no difference give 151 a call from your landline. Your upload should be better than that.
