- Close as many applications on your computer as possible, in particular any P2P, streaming or IM programs
- Start 2 simultaneous downloads from the VM demo games server plus 2 simultaneous downloads of Zen test files. That's four file downloads happening at once!
- Now add up each of the four download speeds to get your accurate download rate.
If you post to the newsgroup again, perhaps you could ask VM Tech Support to confirm that you are currently under STM 'out of hours'? |
Hi Ceedee,
Am not interested in getting the attention of VM technical support. These trials will go on regardless. I want to make VM customers aware of what the new trails nationally could be.
My bandwidth is maxed out just check DU meters logs am only on a 2meg connection. You can see clearly see when STM kicks in.
The trials (Wigan area) between 11am - 9pm have been confirmed to me via VM tech support in a telephone conversation earlier in the week. Am posting the logs to confirm this as my post count and credibility is non-exsistant on here
