Pretty poor service tonight Mr Branson
 

Come on sell Virgin Media on and make a packet.

For the rest of us we're still losing packets.

5-10% loss tonight on an idle connection tonight. :rolleyes:

Anyone know how to go about trying to find out whether this is due to some spotty teenagers down my street blaster their broadband connection ?

I think Mr Branson might be a little too pre-occupied with transportational matters this evening to worry about your speedtests.

And quite rightly so, too.

Ooooh look here comes Dickie B with his magic wand....... oooooooh years of under investment and poor training has been fixed with one wave of his stick.....
OK sarcasm is a low form of wit but do you really think that the massive infrastructure and equipment issues can be fixed in such a short time span?

No and as I previously posted we should give VM a chance to get their feet on the ground but what I had noticed under Telewest was the fact that they really were making a hell of a lot of effort to keep their ailing network together.

What are these techies doing these days ? Have they been laid off or maybe are just taking it easy under the Virgin Media banner.

Its these guys who were patching the network on a daily / hourly basis to give us some form of respectable service I am just at a loss as to what their primary focus now is.
