Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

Still problematic here in the Crawley area.

Just doing a speedtest on a wired connection on my 100mb service and getting 8mb down.

Better than earlier though, I was getting 0.5mb down and 0.2mb up!

No problems here in Coventry all morning. Wireless connection.

Up speed reads slow because I am uploading some stuff.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

Crawley was pretty bad earlier, but seems to be back to normal now (for browsing at least, not tried downloads).

I've noticed issues over the past couple of days, with some sites displaying html code (I'm assuming) in sections of the page and failing to load right away.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

I had problems here in Birmingham from the early hours of this morning. It was resolved for me at around about 10:30.

Anyone know what happened?

Phil.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

Only about 15 minutes after posting earlier I did another speedtest and am now back up to 100mb. I was up at around 5 this morning at the Superhub had lost its connection completely. Of course my immediate reaction was the Superhub being the problem, but not this time!

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

Cheers for that mate. That fits my problem perfectly. Only just back on track, lets see if it lasts.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

It appears to be fixed now, it was a fault that occured only today.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

All back to normal for me now too.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

Major issues still where i am. Hertfordshire area. Getting about 0.1 speed on a 20 meg account.
Spent, sorry, Wasted 15 mins of my time, 1st ringing up the service problem phone line, my area wasnt on it and it asked me to hold if i wanted to speak to an operator, then 2 mins later said goodbye and cut me off.

Then rang main line, 10 minute wait, got through to someone in India i couldnt quite understand who told me it was due to lots of people in my area using the internet. Laughable. Never experienced this before, worked fine last night. Told her if this is the new policy and i am expected to get by on less than 1 meg when i pay for 20 i will cancel my entire Virgin Subscription.

Sorry but today ive had my house alarm go wrong also (battery), had to wait in the bank as arranged a meeting with business specialist via HSBC Head office (Personal Business card of this specialist had a wrong email address on so mails bounced back and phone number was head office who did not pass my message on) and now come home to do abit of online shopping for Xmas to find this.

No wonder UK is screwed if this is how people run business's.

Update:
Being abit of an annoyed customer at the moment, they just rang me on an "unavailable number" and automated message asking if i wanted to leave feedback on my phone call to them. Unbelievable, 1st messing up my internet then sending me a unsolicited phone call.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

Must be a local problem. Getting 19.8meg on my 20meg connection in Hemel. Feedback calls are triggered automatically after you've spoken to an operator.

Re: Slow speeds nationwide today
 

crawleys still playing up, just about getting half of what i'm suppose to get
