First let me give you the facts:-
- I am on a 4MB connection
- According to the Virgin website there are no upgrades of the network in my area
- I have tested my connection on 3 different PCs with new and old Windows instalations
- I was experiencing the "speed cap" from Virgin until a week ago
- Today I can not get over 180KB/s. Its like I am on a 2MB connection

The funny thing is that its not like I have a problem somewhere along the connection track because the connection is always limited to 180KB/s. There is no fluctuation. It has been a week now and I honestly cant be bothered to call them because I cant tolerate the way they talk down to you.

So my question is - is anyone else experiencing something like this and what can I do apart from calling Virgin?
