Makes you wonder if it's the result Virgin want to see really. if you wanted their 10Mb or 20Mb broadband and read it that your average speed is going to be 6Mb.

one thing to mention tho, why do people do speed tests? is it for reassurance of the speed? or do they only check the speed if they think things are running slowly?
I think running speed tests is just a natural thing to do now with broadband. I do it myself now and again for both reasons.

ubr07shef is one.

There appears to be a capacity issue on ubr07shef causing this performance issue. I have passed this to our Outage team and will post a reference once I have one.
That was for someone only getting 5.5Mb.
