Anyone in the Sheffield area had a sudden slow down around 18:00 on 20 meg cable???

Normally I can download at 1200kb/sec to 1600 Kb/sec but now 400 max if I'm lucky. Straight into PC same thing thing so it isn't the router. Used Virgin media servers and ATI website as the download test as these are more reliable than speedtests.

I've switched the cable modem off for now and leave it overnight then re-connect and see what happens.

That's the beauty of having two broadband connections. I've got 8meg ukonline but it won't go higher and since I've got a dual lan router why not have load balancing and fall over protection. Hence 20 meg Virgin or at the moment very slow virgin.

UKonline is working at full speed. Virgin still slow this evening.
