Newcastle NE5 still gets really painfull drops or snail pace latency on the 4th hop mainly osr01gate-tenge71.network.virginmedia.net and it afects other hops after that its been happening for ages and ages now last 2 weeks its been really bad between 5-9pm the times when it always goes to pot, sometimes the whole weekend.

I thought they had at least upgraded this ubr by now i've been telling them the same thing over and over on support to no avail, one of the techs midway last year said it could take upto 2 YEARS to fix and put the kit in place as it needs signed off blah blah wth is happening during the times you want to use it - websites not loading and gaming being craptastic during those hours or a weekend really really not sure if i can put up with this much longer think its time to bite the bullet.

p.s the latency was still there last night so it hasnt been fixed no matter what the vm website says :P.
