heres somthink i found in another thred am i right in thinking VM slow you down if u use giganews????

Try the Giganews speedtest.

Talking of Giganews I wish Virgin would sort their act out with regards to Giganews, my route to it goes on the following path:

VM Mortlake -> VM Croydon -> VM Poplar -> VM Amsterdam -> Giga

Nice and smooth and costs VM nothing as it's done over peering.

The path back is:

Giga -> Cable and Wireless Amsterdam -> C+W London -> C+W Leeds -> VM Leeds -> VM Poplar -> VM Croydon -> VM Mortlake

So either someone's messed up something or VM are intentionally using the Cable and Wireless link to ease loading on their own Amsterdam link, which is costing them money as they'll be paying C+W for the transit.

could this explain why i can only download at 4.5meg instead ov 50mb from giganews????
