@ TJS - Nice to see someone is happy. I can't honestly say the same, mostly not bad, but it does have it's moments, especially in these recent months......

the story is the same for near enough everyone, like the post above, great speeds, but crappy ping and jitter. The OP is a lucky one, as that is a very low ping and 1ms jitter :shocked:

mine is still ok off peak but dont know how long for, it seems whenever capacity gets upgraded utilisation never settles down on VM, constantly going up with their sell sell sell.

To be perfectly honest, and give Virgin their dues, for years with NTL and then Virgin, the connection was great. It wasn't until I 'upgraded' to 30MB that it all went wrong. Now, not to start another argument, I believe the S'Hub to be the cause of it all, but that is now in the past, as it was sorted by the CEO Office. I can't praise them high enough, and were very polite and efficient in dealing with my issues. I guess being a long standing customer has it's advantages :angel:

speed.io speedtest isn;t mentioned on here very often but seems to be quite acurate for 50 mb not sure about 100 mb though :)

that speed.io seems dodgy to me, it always adds a bit more to the speed, im not sure whether its calculating overheads, but any other speed test never gives me 5mb upload, 4.7 at max

For years where i live i've always has a solid connection but browsing is very slow tonight so i did a speed check and i'm not surprised browsing was slow just look at that it's not even 1Mb. It's either VM doing something or everyone being online over the holiday period.

4.7 is the max you will get due to no allowance for overheads as there used to be when it was 1.5 up.
