Cable Forum - View Single Post - if my speed goes much slower it will stop

My broadband speed has been getting steadily worse for months. It's at an all time low now, barely reaching 0.5mbits, even late in the evening. Earlier in the evening it's just unusable, things just time out.

I emailed Virgin again about it yesterday, made it clear I had had enough and would take the matter to trading standards etc if it wasn't fixed. I got the usual response, with the usual run test x,y,z etc. So I jumped throught the hoops again and fully expect them not to reply (as usual). Virgin love to shout about how they have a fast network, but in my experience dial up is more reliable, and about as quick. It's a farce, and some sort of government body needs to get involved and start regulating these cowboy ISPs.
