i did yes, and when i woke this morning my connection speed was still only 9.7mb and i posted again on the newsgroup and by the time i just came back my connection is now 19.2mb.

Funny that isnt it. I stand by what i said in a post previously on here Virgin Media are intentionally limiting connections when they shouldnt be.

Passive Opens = 400
Failed Connection Attempts = 3
Reset Connections = 229
Current Connections = 19
Segments Received = 71591
Segments Sent = 62769
