hi guys!
i've just been reading this thread with great interest!!
i'm down in bristol on a 20mb service, we have had little problems to be honest and our connection seems to be solid
however.... i've just been catching up on the last episode of Torchwood on iplayer, and toward the end it started playing up! the first thought was that one of my housemates was dowloading porn... but after checking the router logs i was the only person online... so i did a speedtest = 1mg!! YES COUNT IT *1*
i don't truely trust speetest sites for the connection we have as it can take virgin a few minutes to allocate the bandwidth, so i started downloading a chunky file from
http://ubuntu.virginmedia.com/releases their own server... i was very surprised to find that after 5 mins the speed had actually decreased!!
so i figured, maybe ther'd been some mainanence and i needed to reboot the modem, after doing this i started to download the same file from the virgin server, it started at about 18.5mb but instantly dropped to under 1mg!!!!
now this is surely BLATENT application management!?!?!?!?!?!?!
has anyone else had issues?
