20mb users...what is your speed right now
 
well for months i have put up with never seeing 20mb, and i use it constantly, all day every day, laptop, xbox live etc. im up till 1-2 o clock in the morning, and still dont see 20mb then either. right now speedtest.net tells me 6-8mb down, 650-700 up.....thats not good enough for me, at the verry best of times i see 11-12mb

Depends entirely on what I am doing.

VM's NG just now gave me 1700-1800KB/s. Mostly I've been web browsering and that uses very little of the available bandwidth!

That'll be virginmedia.support.broadband.cable on news.virginmedia.com (port 119)

Information that Tech Support are likely to request to assist investigation (from Annie's excellent Broadband FAQ):
* Your netstat -a (see Q05 )
* Your total download speed from 4 simultaneous file downloads (as outlined in Q02)
* Ping to www.bbc.co.uk (see Q06)
* Two trace routes to www.bbc.co.uk (see Q06)
* Your modem logs and signal levels (see Q07)
* And a good description of your exact issue
* Your alias - The part of your email address before the @ symbol, this is so support can identify your account details on their system. ie. if your email is fredbloggs@blueyonder.co.uk or fredbloggs@ntlworld.com then fredbloggs is what is required

It's the 20 MEG Virgin Connection (But i get more than the advertised 20MB) Of course if i go over limits i get capped but if i dont, i get no problems achieving 20MB+ no matter what time of the day.
