I am in wembley, HA0... so very close to u i suppose!
When I first got NTL, around 15 months ago, pings to US servers on QUAKE 3 ARENA were about 130......now [Virgin Media], the pings to the US servers are 180-220, constantly going up and down. Its virtually impossible to play!
When my cuzin hosts a server [I think he has UKONLINE, and lives 2 streets away from me (200 metres?)], the ping is about 50-60, which i think is quite bad since his other mate gets about 40-50 also living nearby him.
So i dont think virginmedia bband is for gaming, but i do get my 2mb speeds anytime day/night! [10mb was not the same, hence i downgraded to 2mb, but it was improving].
I dont want to lie and say its amazing, since u will have to stop gaming
