Our speedtest (linked at the top of the page) will give you a better indication as it is located on the VM network - you are still testing more than just your connection, but at least you are internal to the VM network so the results are a better indicator of your actual performance.

Remember that all speed tests (inc ours) are just rough estimates, not accurate measurements.
and the VM one gave me the worst result out of the 3 tests

This is what I have for 2 weeks in a row between 18.00 and 22.00

So frastrating. It feels like there are only morons working now. They advertise 20Mb while they cannot supply even 4Mb at a decent level.
I quite agree with you Virgin his worse and NTL and they were bad enough

funnily enough I never had a single phone or internet problem in the two years I had accounts when they were NTL neither at home or the office yet within a week of the change everything went tits up at the office and then home went the same a few weeks later never to recover

Re: Excellent speeds. Well done Virgin!
 
With ntl I never had 4M down. 2.6M was the best result. However the line was stable and latency was good. I never complained. Starting from April everything went downhill and gets worse.

Speaking to some members of this forum feels like a conversation between blind and deaf.
Why some of you are concentrating on pointing out that the speed tests are not accurate despite the fact that I am saying that I go and test my connection when I experience problems such as bad ping in a game or snail speed at external news server provider and the tests prove that there is a problem. When I have done those tests just out of curiosity when I didn't have those problems the speed test didn't show any problems as well. So, based on my experience those speed tests might not be accurate but they are a VERY good indication that there is a problem and noone can deny it.

Good latency tonight, so I am happy bunny.

Another interesting thing happened tonight.
I have just received a phone call from VM and they offered me for 41 quid: phone line + 20M BB + free tv box with some TV package...and if my modem cannot support 20M it will be swapped for free....
That's interesting, because atm I pay £11 for phone line + £25 BB + about £4-6 for local calls. All together £41 but slower BB and no digi TV at all. Does it mean that for the same money I am going to get so much more? I am very curious :Yikes:

Maybe they are trying to give the DTV package away to hide the impact of defecting users on their figures. :)

Maybe :)

I don't really need it anyway, that's why I don't have it at the moment. I almost don't watch TV at all. However, DTV for free? Why not? We will see...
