See here and others...

The way the VM Community forum splits speed issues between tiers doesn't help present a wider view of course,

How about using the Gaming area?

In the past (months ago) there were two national outages following changes in down and up channels when we went from 4 to 5 to 8 down and up to 2 up.

As a casual observation it does look as though changes in user configuration causes major network problems and hopefully these bumps are a short term deliberate effect until something can be sorted out. There will be all hell to pay if they become a regular feature because mass complaints will be evident if we all suffer prime time useless service.

I did not really notice the reduction in what was an excellent service because over the past few weeks I have been using BT Infinity for most of my internet work.

Yea it didn't happen last friday either so we will just have to wait and see.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Jayster,

In the many months before October the connection used to be brilliant. Hopefully it will be again;), after the problems are resolved.

I used to be one of VM's harshest critics but if they provide quality at the right price even an old cynic like me will change opinion.

PRE OCTOBER.....

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

I have registered an issue at http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...p/td-p/1502644

Perhaps we can all do this if affected. VM techies etc may then sit up and take notice.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Smeg.
They time shifted the system to 9PM to see if there was a different load effect....
Edit 2 = Its not as bad ping wise. but Ive lost 1/3 of my download. (33% for the young ones on here, So have been downgraded to 20Mb/s service...)
Edit 3 = just over an hour this time.

The bump started later tonight and appears to be lasting a shorter period of time.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

Same thing happening in Manchester.

Re: Think Broadband Ping Monitor Results (POST YOURS)

What does worry me is there has been no response from VM over this at all.
