I am a virgin media customre paying for the 4 meg virgin media broadband service, for the last THREE months ive been getting 2meg speeds from my 4 meg connection!!!
I am a network engineer and need to use my internet to dial my vpn so i can do my own work, and i am getting frustrated at all of this virgin media ****! They give me 2 meg speeds no matter what, and then to add insult to injury i get that stupid traffic management **** which caps me even lower down to 1 meg.
I couldnt care less about that traffic management rubbish, thats jus a consequencce of being a customer in a country where money comes first! But what reallt cheeses me off is the fact i CANNOT get my full 4meg connection, no matter what i only get 2meg speeds.
I have tried everything. gone through multiple routers, called up virgin to absolutely no luck whatsoever!!
At the moment i am running my modem into my endian firewall, but i get exactly the same speeds when i connect directly to a computer or laptop. I have verified my modem is set up to use the 4 meg speeds, i have already verified my modems downstream frequency is 402750000 Hz. Them stupid people i call customer services have told me my connection is all fine and that evrything is working well wen clearly it is not !!!!!
Here are the results of a speed test i done earlier. This is test when i was not capped, all of my speed tests are like this when i am not capped, this is my MAXIMUM speed !
When those nutcases do cap me (everyday basically) here is the result:
If you are thinking that you do not trust these speed tests, my maximum download rate when trying to download ubuntu off the virgin media servers wa about 240KiloBYTES per second, same with all downloads, whether news bin, or http or bittorrent.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME, I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING!!!!
If it helps i live in cardiff, in the fairwater area. (CF5 POSTCODE)
THANKS
