Hi all

While compiling a list of test results to show VM that my ADSL connection really does suck big time.... I was compiling a list of pings to various UK servers.
Iv'e notice i get anything between 45ms and 98is ms to www.bbc.co.uk and the like, higher during peek times. But everytime I ping Virginmedia.co.uk i always get 25-50% packet loss.
Iv'e also noticed me connection now drops every ten mins, connected direct to ethernet or wireless.

Any explinations? I'm unable to online game since april!!! the first ten days of my install was great, no drop outs and reliable pings.

Just seems strange this is the only UK site i get constant packet losses from.
