Downgrade from 10m
 

I had a so called 50mbps upgrade late August and its rubbish.
I phone VM and they say its fine and must be my end, hmmmm.
I can get 55 down and 5 up in the middle of the night sometimes, this is now.

Tech support think its my end and my PC, hmmmm so thats why games lag on xbox and the lappy gets simlar speeds.
The so called 50mbps is a rip off.

have you tried the london and maidenhead servers?

What are you basing your "rubbish" assumptions on other than speedtests. I always know my connection is going to be poo during the evenings which is why i don't do anything other than gaming and browsing. During the day it flies and I can pull 6mb/sec all day (and all night :) )

I pay for 50 and get less than what I did when I paid for 10,, its rocket science :rolleyes:

What he means is, if the only slow speed your seeing is via a speed test then you need to stop complaining and just use your internet.

If however your seeing issues elsewhere then there is a problem.

Far too many people think a speed test result is important. I never ever get 100Mb on any speed test including the VM one .. yet I download at 11MB/sec 24/7 ..

and following on, the reason why i suggested trying the london server (and maybe two others) is because you'll get different results from each. I use the london server as a reliable test because I know that more often than not, I'll get 50mbit from it and 5 up, however the max i'll ever get from liverpool is 25/3, but that doesnt mean my connection is screwed.

Regardless of your speedtest result, if you can download from something like torrents, which can saturate your downstream, and you are pulling 4-5mb/sec then you know everything is ok
