Hi all. I've had VM 20Mb cable for a few days now and would like to know the consensus of opinion as to what is acceptable/ expected for D/L speeds. Here are my speeds based on just the few days I have had the service - 11pm ish onwards almost full 20Mb speeds. During the week 3pm 'till about 9pm around 6Mb.Between 9pm and 11pm around 9 -11 Mb/s. Today (saturday) all day around 1.2 Mb, tested many times throughout the day using website speed tests and file downloads from a few sites including VM's gamefiles.virginmedia site. It is todays speed that concerns me. I have a 2nd PC set up and that is still connected to my old ADSL 8Mb service, and doing simultaneous tests the VM 20Mb service was 2 to 3 times slower than the ADSL. Thanks....
