Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

SK5, Stockport... the neglected part of town that sees upgrades LAST... why? Ooo.. the posh areas have theirs!!

Here's a tip guys - this area is the *least congested!!*

It's like waking up expecting loads of pressies on Christmas day to find that all you've got is pretty much what you went to bed with...

Well I don't know what's happening with the speedtests lately, getting consistently poor results:

CF Site Speed Test:
Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:47:27 GMT

Test 1: 1024K took 3375 ms = 303.4 KB/sec, approx 2500 Kbps, 2.44 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 3225 ms = 317.5 KB/sec, approx 2616 Kbps, 2.55 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 3224 ms = 317.6 KB/sec, approx 2617 Kbps, 2.56 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 11947 ms = 171.4 KB/sec, approx 1412 Kbps, 1.38 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2286 Kbps, 2.23 Mbps

Dan Elwell's gives: 4225Kb/s

However a 60MB multi-thread download from VM Newsgroups came down at a fairly consistent 10Mb/s.

All completed within the last 10 mins.

So it proves the 10Mb connection can and is doing it!

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Well it's nearly the end of july and they are nowhere near completing the areas that have been given that date. :confused:

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

Still no news on nottingham :(

Re: Virgin 4Mb to upgrade to 10Mb February - Summer
 

But past upgrades were always followed by an extended period of cr@p service due to congestion..
This time they are trying to upgrade the areas before they uplift the speed so that people get the 10Mb/s speed.
